I'm currently in the process of replacing the factory Monsoon stereo system, and I was thinking about replacing the two factory 6.5" subs with some aftermarket ones. I know JL audio makes some, but they are not designed for open baffle type use, they need to be in a seeled or ported box. Anyways, have any of you put new 6.5" subs in? if so what? Any help is greatly appreciated. [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

If you put subs in the rears you will lose your staging. All you will hear is bass in your ear.Comment

The subs are already there. It's the Monsoon system, it has 2 factory subs.....you're thinking the baseline 4 speaker system....i agree with baseline it would be pure suicide.1997 Camaro 30th Anniversary...M5, chrome 16\" 5-stars Goodyear 245/50R16<p><a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/issycamaroman\" target=\"_blank\">http://members.cardomain.com/issycamaroman</a>Comment

Come Monday I will have finished installing a new two channel amp powering some aftermarket speakers in my doors, ought to sound really good, (and loud!!!) I'm debating between replacing the factory 6.5"s and amping them, or to just leave them as is, and go with a JL Vantage box and whatever I choose for a single 10". I'm thinking the 10" will probably sound better, so I'm kindof leaning that way seeing how I want SQ, along with plenty of bump. I'm just trying to get some info as to those that have replaced the factory subs.

most of the sound (ie not bass) is suppose to come from the front speakers anyway, so staging isn't an issue with your rear speakers.Comment

you could get infinity components all the way around and a 10" SQ sub like an infinity or image dynamics and have an awesome SQ setupComment

I got the Koda component set up front and just the midbasses in the rear. Worth double the price. It's really just plain unbelievable.

No. The whole component set up front. Another set of Koda midbasses in the sail panels and subs in the rear. Total of 4 Koda mids.Comment
