[QUOTE=Planeswalker;6372154]I have won 6 of 6 audio contests at car shows with my Shaker 1000. It has some upgraded speakers and well placed Dynomat though. About $250 in upgrades. And I wasn't against stock systems; one was against a $5000 kicker sponsored car, another against a truck with MTXs. Nothing special, it was car shows, not audio shows.
Don't get me wrong here, the shaker is amazing for a stock system. But there is no way it holds up to a decent aftermarket system. I was running it with an aftermarket head unit and speakers for a while and it sounded pretty good. But those cheap stock amps were starving the speakers of power and causing distortion. The subs are actually pretty hefty for stock ones. I pulled them out when I replaced mine and they were built really solid. But a decent aftermarket amp/sub combo was a night and day difference for me.
I dont doubt it sounds good. And Dynomat does make a world of difference, but I just cant see a fairly stock system holding up to somthing like a $5000 sponsored car....Guess I'd have to hear it lol

I play hard rock music, which works out really well with the upgrades I have. Before I could turn the volume all the way up and listen, now it's actually painful at full volume.
And it's beyond easy to beat a $5000 system at car shows since they always put in a rap song with all bass! People that drive pre 70s cars don't want to hear that junk.
