It's a Metra 72-5600 Adapter. You can find them on amazon or any audio supply site online.

 

I know we're getting off topic, but I thought I read Ford got rid of the skip shift for 2013? Is that not correct? I was sure I read that somewhere.

 

I don't understand the crap talk about the factory shakers. I've had multiple stereo systems in my previous cars & to me my stock shaker 500 sounds great. Only upgrade is my JVC deck

 

I actually found a thread by Deysha at allfordmustangs.com that said they did away with it, however there have been threads on here where folks have disabled the solenoid for this so - it may not "advertise" on the dash skip shift, but I have felt it and will disable it shortly....

stock shaker 500 is good - however the 5x7 (6x8) speakers are poor. I (and others) have noticed a major change when upgrading. Check out the interior mod section and read for yourself.

I also own a nissan rogue (wife's car) with the bose sound... that is an amazing system, stock shaker was muddy and very poor before I upgraded the front speakers (it's still nothing like my wife's car, but it's better).

 

The door subs in the shaker system are actually decent, it's the regular speakers that suck. Upgrading them makes a HUGE difference.

 

Morel Tempo 5x7's, sounds much better.

 

I think Kenwood still makes a quality product. I've always thought pioneer was very average.

 

My shaker system that comes in the premium stang sounds perfect, youre crazy.

 

This is a dumb ignorant comment.

 

true.. if you like sound you want quality.. a young kid doesnt care if its clear.. they just want loud and the stock shaker speakers can do that. I am selling two pairs of infinity 6x8 with plug and play adapters.

 

This is the door speakers setup on the shaker systems right?
Ones on bottom are in the doors?

Another question I have is this. Those bottom speakers are currently components right? If I just put average speakers in there they wouldn't be as good as if I were to put aftermarket components in there right?

 

I'd replace them if someone sold a speaker bracket for the 2013

 

Naw, it's definitely muddy. The only music that sounds really good is classic rock. I think thats the only music the guy that designed the Shaker system listened to.

 

I'm guessing if you think it sounds perfect you've never heard a good system before. The Shaker is clearly muddy, especially the midrange.

 

Yes, but I bet the Acoustical engineer who works for Mark Levinson would poo-poo those POS Pioneers and admonish us for not performing a $3000 total system makeover, LOL.

It's all in one's priorities. I had an in-car CD player & multiple woofers-n-watts back in 1985, used to sell the stuff. I think Pioneer still makes a great-sounding speaker for the money and in fact just added them to my '91 Legend. But I have to say that the current Shaker 500 is "good enough" to this old timer that modding it was lower priority - for me.

Those pics linked above comparing the stock speakers to those Pioneers actually impressed me in how nice the stock speakers are and how far we've come in 30 years in stock radios. Take a look at what factory radio speakers looked like 30+ years ago - not even close to today's stock stuff.

All that said, I LOVE bang-for-the-buck mods and must agree that those Pioneers are a nice upgrade for the $ required. The stock front spkrs do lack high-end response. Just trying to explain where some of us old farts are coming from when we say we kind of like the stock Shaker system as-is.

Now, let's all play nice...

 

Still car shopping, but yeah, I'm pretty sure the Sh. 500 front door speakers (not lower woofer) are components, exactly as your picture shows.

My question is this: Won't aftermarket 5 1/4" components be a direct drop-in to the stock bracket, which is already holding a 5.25" mid and 1" tweeter? Or are the stock speakers somehow permanently bonded to those stock brackets in a way that doesn't let them be re-used?

 

Crap, I've skipped the first mods. Can I go back to start and still collect $100?

 

I'd replace speakers if I ever turned the radio on.

 

From what I've read (and I haven't dug into it much), no on the 2013 aftermarkets won't fit in the bracket and you have to make your own or use one from an older model mustang.

 

#7, $12 a piece.
