[JAUWS] 2010 Mustang GT Front Door Upper Speaker Replacement by bodine

I just replaced the factory 2-way door speakers with 5" x 7" Alpine SPR-57C http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8551_Alpine+SPR-57C.html and man what a hugh difference these made in overall sound quality! These are 4 ohms 100 watt rms continuous. I am not amping them they are just running off the factory Shaker 500 HU. Mid Bass and Highs are now present and 100% better than factory 2-ways that were replaced.

The Door panel is very easy to remove and the 8" subs in the lower door section are enclosed in their own housing. I do not plan on replacing the factory subs as they provide plenty of base for my taste. Tools needed would be a panel trim tool, 7mm socket for the 7 door screws and a torx driver for the door latch and arm rest removal. I connected the speakers to the existing factory harness by tinning the speaker wire and inserting the tinned wire ends into the factory speaker connector. I then taped the speaker wire pigtail to the factory connector that I inserted the tinned speaker wires into making a very secure connection.

Specs:
Model:2010 Mustang GT Premium w/Shaker 500 Audio System
Color Exterior: Black
Color Interior: Red Brick Leather over Black
Wheels: 19" Premium Painted
Comfort Package
Security Package
5 Speed Automatic

[JAUWS] Welcome to JAUWS! by JAUWS

Welcome to the JAUWS Forum!

After our web host suddenly decided to cease operations with no explanation. Our old MyIBPortal based website has gone away not to be resurrected because of what in my opinion was the best portal and community around Yauws no longer exist in it's former fashion. Now we start the long process of starting over and building from scratch.

In searching for a new portal we found Enigma/SMF, but as with so many small projects and ego's and personality clashes a recent split by Enigma developers that decided to create their own fork of Enigma called Sphinx and this is the approach to the software that we have decided to support since the developers seem to have a clear plan and road map for future development, improvement and support.

Time will only tell as to the staying power of Sphinx but on the surface it looks to me to be our best bet. I think that one of the problems is that all the work they do for us in developing great software is totally free. Free is not always best because these organizations never seem to be run as a business and therefor lack professionalism which eventually leads to their demise....again time will be the best judge as to how all this shakes out!
