If your Monsoon 6x9"s are blown, you can replace with stock 2 ohm models, or try using aftermarket 4 ohm versions. A few have had success using aftermarket; others have run into problems, or not liked the sound. It seems that using stock replacements is the easiest way to get good results at a reasonable price.

Some info on Monsoon 6x9"s:

I just finished installing the replacement Monsoon's. Sounds awesome again, and you can't beat the price for the stock replacements (around $70 for the pair!) My originals lasted 5.5 years, so if these do as well, I'll be happy.

Wonder what the impedance to a 4ohm 3 way 6x9 would be if you cut the wires to the mid and tweeter???

WOW TRIPLE.

i have a question and maybe someone can point me to a post that already has the info. If I put after market speakers in, there are 4 wires for the stock 6x9 and tweeter, but on the after market there's only 2 hook ups. Just wondering the best way to hook these new 2 -ohms up and finally get some good sound back there.

I just received a pair of OEM replacement 6x9's from GM Parts Direct. $30.65 each plus $17.69 S&H to my location for a total of $78.99. I doubt there is any speaker available with equal to or better sound for that money, add in the plug and play factor and my mind was made up for replacing with OEM.

Great writeup, thanks

All links I tried here were broken. Also, GM rear speakers are now 80+ each side. What's the deal these days?

[02bluefirehawk]

I wound up just finding a set of new Infinity Kappa 692.9i 6x9 speakers for $99 shipped on e-bay. Score!

I just installed Sony 4-ways in the wifes Regal last night. Sounds great and they were only like $60 at Walmart.

In my car I have been running the Pioneer 4-ways for probably 4 years. No issues and they sound great too.

What size are the door speakers? The tweeters?

[Crazyguy03]

When I saw all this info about the monsoon I pissed myself and felt warm and fuzzy....

Then when the links didnt work I sat in my cold reality....

Thanks for the reply! I am installing the following system;

Pioneer avic z-110
pioneer rear camera
Diamond audio Amplifiers:(1) d6700.4, (2) d61200.1
Diamond Audio HEX Component 5 1/4 for the doors S500A
Diamond Audio 191i 6x9 rear
Diamond Audio HEX HP12 subwoofers

If the person who has the GNX views this,,,,where on earth can the flared rocker panels be purchased?

[zz2h33]

Hidden until the links can be fixed

I used Lincoln LS 6x9's subs that are in their rear deck made by Bose 2ohm to replace the blown monsson subs in rear deck, sounds awesome!
