I did, but mine is years old now. I had to upgrade, I couldn't hear the stock radio over my exhaust anymore. And now I don't think I can hear the upgraded radio over my exhaust either...lol.

But, here's what I've got:
Pioneer H/U, DEH-8000 I think is what it is...it's about 8 years old now or more
Infinity Reference (Kappa's wouldn't fit) separates in the doors, tweeters are mounted on the black plastic triangles that cover the mirror attachment points
Clarion 5x7 seperates plate in the rear
The above sets of components are driven by a rockford amp
DEI tweeters in the dash (driven off the H/U)
12" sub in the hatch run off of a 2 farad cap (un-nessisary, but I've got it anyway) and an Alpine class-D amp.

While I had my interior apart I ran all new 12ga speaker wire for everything. Into the doors, up through the dash, etc. The system sounds fantastic, but when the car is running, you can't hear it. lol

This year i am planning on speakers, an amp, and a single 10" sub.... nothing crazy.

I've got a JVC head unit and Alpine components or something (it all came in the car). Last season I ran a single 10" sub with an amp which i really enjoyed, but I took it out for this season.

Years ago I had to comp. JL audio 12s and a Rockford fosgate sub. It's was very nice too. Chrome silver and black. It looked really good with my black interior.

My sound system made by trickflow, Mac and magnaflow lol!

I replaced my tape deck head unit with a nakamichi cd deck (very classic look) and all speakers with Jl audio stuff cause half my stock stuff was bad. Used to be big into audio but not in my stangs.
