So let me get this straight i can put aftermarket speakers in with the monsoon stereo on my 2000 camaro. Without loosing sound quality

[Akuma]

Yup. You should have better sound quality then before.

[predator5100]

What about volume wise will it decrease or stay the same with my old car different speakers other than stock they decreased in volume a crap load

[ChameleonGreen]

I'm pretty sure all Monsoon speakers are 2ohm speakers. Since 97% of all aftermarket speakers are 4ohms, then you will half only half the power.

[predator5100]

So do they make aftermarket 2 ohm speakers

[Akuma]

Yes, just look around. You could also get an amp if your worried about them not being loud.

i've heard that Infinity Kappa speakers sound great even on the stock monsoon amp.

Here's the deal. Replacing your factory speakers will improve your sound quality. The separation of sound between highs, lows, and mids as well as the clarity will see great improvement. I would recommend polk or higher end infinity. Wouldn't worry about the 2-ohm, 4-ohm deal too much (i would actually recommend 4's b/c you will have many more options) as your speaker quality will improve anyway.

However, to get the full advantage of new speakers and get highest sound quality, add a new good head unit (even though you have the monsoon system). A good after market receiver will out perform stock 99% of the time and if you're really worried about power then amp them up as well and of course a sub if you have the funds)

Also, don't worry too much about the power rating on your monsoon seeming higher than after market receivers and amps; B/C first monsoon represents the max power output (something like 500 watts or something- RMS power is the number to look at, max means little).
In short, higher numbers don't necessarily mean a better product. I've heard the monsoon system and comparing it to my system (everything replaced from stock), it sounds 100% better, clearer, and louder.

I have 4ohm speakers in my doors...in order to get them to play as loud....I had to put a 40hm to 2ohm resistor...it makes the 4ohm speaker a 2ohm speaker and allows it to sound great...oh BTW FYI the door speakers and middle speakers are 2 ohm the back 2 are 4ohm...and are full range speakers
