Shaker 500 w/ Saleen sub

ok i have a 2004 fx5 with completely basic stock system with 6 disk HU..

im getting the Saleel fostgate sub,, was wondering if i upgraded to the SHaker HU would it make a overall big difference in sound? and i here the SHaker unit has a seperate sub Plug. Does the harness that comes with the saleen sub come with the sub plug?? thanks guys..

lemme know if this setup will work..and how i need to do it

I have the same system and a job too, be patient waiting for replies. The Saleen sub come with ALL connectors to the factory head units. They are plug and play. Enjoy.

i undertand that it comes with evertyhing.. but the shaker HU is only mids and highs,, with a seperate Sub output... so if i get the saleen sub withall the wiring it comes with,,, is it going to tie into the mids and highs,, or plug into the seperate subwoofer plug? that is my question.

it will tie into your mids and highs, but will produce the bass that you need. the subplug will remain unused.

The audiophile sub sucks, you just got a saleen sub. Why?

Did you leave your shaker sub outlet unused?
