I plan to swap out the entire stereo once I get my GT but the reason I ask if I should get the 500 is because of the 8" door subs. If I don't get the 500 I should still be able to mount some aftermarket 8" subs in the doors?? I realize I would need to make a mounting plate but there is a hole in the sheet metal of the door right? I would hate to pay for the 500 only to take it out.
Thanks

I did not order 500, plan to go completely aftermarket. My stereo guy said I would have way more options for a lot less........

If you really want the door subs, you could probably order the door panels that have the enclosures for cheaper than the Shaker 500 cost.

I really want 8's in the doors but don't need the factory look. I just wanted to make sure if I get it with out the factory 8's I still can mount some 8's and just cut a hole in the door panel. I can get something simple to make like a mounting baffle and to clean it up. Seems like I don't need the 500

Thanks for the link! I am not geting the 500...I plan to rip it all out anyway and I know now that I can still mount some 8's in the door. I will have a sub in the trunk as well so the 8's will be more midbass.

I couldnt agree more! I am so excited the stock HU is double din so I can fit a nav unit in nicely!!! And some large midbass in the doors are cool to. I have a single 12 now in my currnet car but I might go to 2 10's of the same brand. I have to wait and see how big this trunk is when I get it.
