looking to upgrade my sail panel speakers and here are the the speakers i have found and want some info on them if you have and what speaker is the best sounding speaker compaired to the stock ones.

CDT M6 is another consideration - probably one of the better/best? as far as SVC.

TA though.....you're going to want the eD eu700s without any doubt, IMO since they are the only quality DVC replacement I know of that works best for Pontiac versions of the Monsoon system.

I'll second that. If you're keeping the Monsoon amp in a Firebird, the EU700 (now called the 7Kv.2) wires in just like stock, only requires a little spacer work to compensate for the greater mounting depth, and sounds much better than stock.

I have only used the 7Kv.2 and the CDT Audio M6 so that's all I will compare, but the M6 DESTROYED the 7Kv.2 in terms of midbass and total output in -my- setup.

but arent they alot more than the 7Kv.2

what ones do i buy the 4ohm or the 2ohm

For the ED 7Kv.2 you want the dual voice coil 4-ohm model. That will be the same configuration as the stock sail panel speakers.

What WhiteBird00 listed will appear as "D4" on their website.

What kind of spacer would I need? I am going to order these and would just like to know what I am getting into. Also is there a easy fix for the light in the stock head unit as mine went out?

Here is a thread about installing the ED subs. It is based on Camaro so your Firebird wiring will be a little different (4 wires, 4 terminals instead of combining the connections).

There have been numerous threads about the HU lights. A little searching should turn up plenty of information about replacing with LEDs, etc.

thanks white bird, this is one section of tech that I don't visit too often.

I like the JLs myself. For the price they are hard to beat

I know a guy who is selling a set of JL audio 6W0's if anybody is interested...
You will need a spacer for the mounting depth just like the ED ones though.

If you need a pair of CDT M-6's I can get you those for $220.00 shipped NIB. Normally they are $249.00. They are however SVC 4ohm like the JL's so that needs to be considered. They do not require any spacers or metal cutting though.

Have you considered MB Quarts? That's what I have in my sail panels and they sound awesome.

I now have the Bazooka replacement DVC subwoofers as well that are perfect for your application if your just looking to replace the sail panels. These wire exactly like stock utilizing both voice coils optimizing output of the stock Monsoon amp.

do these need washers to make them fit or is it a direct drop in. do the speakers holes line up with the cars or would i be drilling new ones to make teh bazookas work. these are sum of teh first DVC speakers i have found actually

Hatchetman337

From what I've been learning, these need a spacer and the holes don't line up, but otherwise the wiring is just like factory. That's the most important part. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
