Monsoon speakers vs. basic speakers.

[Ghostbuster]

I know that monsoon systems have an amp for the sub, but are the door speakers connected to the amp as well, or at a different power level than the regular speakers?

Basically what I need to know is can I drop the monsoon door speakers in a h3 that doesn't have the monsoon system?

Because everyone says the monsoon speakers are way better than the regular ones so I thought I might try them out since they aren't to expensive.

the monsoon amp is right next to the amp itself, and not under a seat so I imagine it only powers the sub. i could be wrong. check out schwarttzy's site, he's got a butt load of wiring diagrams. that would tell you for sure.

No amp for the door speakers, just better quality speakers. I've got a set in great shape I just pulled from my H3 to replace with some high end speakers, if you're interested PM me an offer on them.

I have the monsoon system in mine, but even upgraded factory systems aren't as good as aftermarket. It sounds good to me and its got plenty of bass, even for a little 8" sub. I'd go aftermarket if I was going to upgrade from the base system. putting a factory system in is surprisingly expensive and complicated. I prefer factory stuff, too, but sometimes aftermarket is easier and cheaper.

I did all 4 door speakers and a new 8" sub. Used the stock amp and everything else. Filled the sub enclosure with poly-fil... If you're gonna go through the trouble of taking off door panels, upgrade to aftermarket. The sound quality is awesome. Super clear and good bass from the sub. It shakes the mirrors now. I think the 4 speakers and the sub were $225 from amazon. Went with Rockford Fosgate Punch stuff. Left the tweeters alone. I had the monsoon speakers and the back to weren't working. I thought they were blown. I ordered all the new stuff and turns out, the rear speakers weren't hooked up. Oh well.
