[QUOTE="CharlieR, post: 12667833, member: 140605"] I was in the same boat, hadn't done anything "stereo" in 18 years. Research helped I got the base but still got info on S-500 & S-1000/Pro. The Shaker 500 system has the same 6x8's as all the mustang systems(coaxial in doors, full range(complete with 1976 wizzer cone :lol:) in rear. On 10-up cars these are powered by the headunit(about 12 watts@1% distortion, claimed in marketing as 40 per.) these are where the infinitys go(replacing the rears would be optional as you'll never hear improvement from them in front). The "Subs" in the doors are powered by an amp(Claimed @ 170 per, actual is <70@1%) this is where my info got cloudy I was never able to determine if the "subs in the S-500 system had any crossover, some said 700hz and below, some said the speakers natural roll off is it). Finding an 8 inch sub to replace the door "subs" that will fit and work with <70 watts from the factory amp proves to be "difficult" to say the least. The S-1000/Pro adds a True Subwoofer and a 2nd amp(claimed @500, actual is 165@1%). So if you want "more bass" from your S-500 You're gonna be disappointed in "speaker replacements keeping factory amps", but if you just want a little clearer/louder mids and highs the Infinitys(Most any aftermarket 6x8 coaxial will be sensitive enough to "add volume" and quality enough to sound better too) will make you happy. P.S. Too little power in itself doesn't hurt a speaker but trying to get them "louder than physics/acoustics allows" causes clipping which will hurt one. It will take a while with the factory 12 watts but it can do it. [/QUOTE]
