Welcome to the forum. Now save some of that money to buy a keyboard with punctuation keys! 
Firebirds before 97 did not have a Monsoon system but there was a 10-speaker "premium" system available. The easiest way to tell is by whether you have speakers in the hatch area or not. The base audio system didn't have hatch speakers but the premium system did. If you have the 10-speaker system then you will find the amp behind the right quarter trim panel below the sail panel speaker next to the rear seat.
If it's intact and the wiring isn't butchered, you can use the same replacement speakers as a Monsoon system - Bazooka subs for the sail panels and 6.5" components for the doors (CDT from Kee Audio highly recommended). Otherwise, you may have to rewire - in which case your options for speakers are pretty much limited only by budget.
