OK, I have made up my mind on which speakers to replace my blown ones with. Now I figure since I have to replace 2 of them I midas well get all of them to get better sound. So here it goes. I have an 02 Z28 with the 500watt monsoon in it, here are the speakers I want to get. Please give me some input on if they will work or not, and any personal experiance.

Front:
Kicker K65
-6 1/2" midrange
-4ohm
-rms 6-65 watts, peak 130 watts
-sesativity 90db

Sail Panel:
Kicker SSMB6
-6 1/2" midbass
-4ohm
-rms 8-125 watts, peak 250 watts
-sesativity 88db

Rear:
Kicker DX40
-4 inch
-4ohm
-rms 2-25 watts, peak 50 watts
-sensativity 88db

I decided to go with all kickers because I have heard good things about them. Keep in mind I only want to replace the speakers and wire the new ones into the monsoon system with stock monsoon amp. Off of ebay I can get all of these speakers for about $205, so this is a hellofa deal if I can make it work. For wireing, I am going to have a buddy of mine who installs stereos for a living do it for me.

Now......will they work?

I also plan to, in the future, get a subthump box for a kicker solobaric and toss that in there with the aformentioned speakers off the stock amp.

Nobody has any input or information on this setup? Is it worth the try or what?

While it will work,same kickers I have,it will be clearer,but not as loud because of the ohms.Highly recommend changing head unit and bypassing monsoon amp and get a nice 4-5 channel amp with built in x-over to run everything,it will be well worth the effort

so it wont be as loud as the other speakers, I was under that impression? are we talking across all sound levels, highs and lows? Is it alot different, because I really hated the distortion of the other speakers and wouldnt mind clarity over noise? If you were to rate the stock speakers on a 1-10 scale, and these speakers on the same scale what would they be?

You have the exact same setup?

Once some more $$ comes in I may do the amp and head unit. I dont know. Probably just the amp as I like the sock head unit and steering wheel controls.

I would save your money until you can afford an amp to drive those components. The stock Monsoon amplifier is a distortion-box to begin with.

what if I just get the speakers now and an amp a few months down the road? Will I be able to use the stock wiring or rewire it all?
