I assume you have the monsoon system? Sorry man, but the monsoon system uses 2 ohm speakers.... not gonna find too many aftermarket 2 ohm bass speakers. Best bet, tear out the whole monsoon system and start from scratch.

Dunno what size the monsoon speakers are.. Or anything about the system.. But there are many subs with dual 4 ohm coils meaning they can easily be wired to show the amp a 2 ohm load.. You can also safely run a 4 ohm speaker on an amp that can handle 2 ohms.. It will just get less power, unless its a regulated power supply on the amp, which may give you the same power.. depending..

Another not-so-simple option is getting a pair of the correct-sized speakers in 4 ohm versions, and plugging those into the stock spots, then adding an extra pair of 4 ohm speakers somewhere else, wired in parallel with the first pair, to show the amp 2 ohms..

There's really a lot of possibilities..

OK, just checked.. It's supposed to have a pair of 6 inch 2 ohm 'subs' in the sail panels.. back seat I guess? .. Good luck find a dual voice coil 6" speaker.. Try dremelling an opening that will fit 8" subs and grab a pair of 8 inch fosgate punch he2 in dual 4 ohm version..

OK this is getting too long, here's the final plan..

Add a pair of 5.25" or 6" if you can find them to the stock spots, just use 4 ohm speakers, it won't matter that much.. Add a single aftermarket 10" sub in a small sealed box, along with a little amp that's bridgeable to 100-200 watts.. You will get much more bass than the stupid stock 6" 'subs', and your rear fill will get more clarity from a quality pair of 5.25/6" coaxials anyway..

There.. I'll shut up now..
