I have a Vert Mustang and I have to say that the Shaker isn't the most high *quality* stock system I ever had (that went to the Mark Levenson in my old Lexus), it is the loudest. I've owned a lot of convertibles in my life and this is the first one that I can actually hear perfectly fine at 90 MPH (and its not even turned up). I really like this system. I do understand that there are probably some old school "bumpers" here as we used to call them back in 1990... the guys who used to put 2 15" subs in their trunk just to be heard 2 blocks away but the stock shaker is the first stock system I have owned that I actually have to turn down when pulling into places because its loud enough to have good distance (honestly, my opinion is that I absolutely don't want distance, that kinda thing went out in the 90's and the vast majority of people will really quietly dog on you when they see you on the street doing that).
I also noticed that the shaker needed a little tune modification to really come alive, especially base. Turn the bass up just a few notches and its rattling everything in the car when I'm playing old school techno or newer stuff like Eminem.
Maybe the young'uns don't realize how good they got it today. My first deck in my 87 CRX Si was the first car CD player made (Sony). It didn't even have a built in amp. It would skip every time your car hit a bump, but that pair of Pioneer 6x9's in box's in the back could pump out the NWA
