Not sure if, this will help you w/ the T/A. But, I do have the link for Monsoon pin out in the Camaro.

Just unplug the old stock speaker, remove the connector pigtail and attach it to new speaker and install. Since you have a Trans Am, there will be 4 wires going to the old speaker(one pair of wires longer than the other) because the stock speakers are dual vioce coil. Assuming your replacement is a normal single voice coil speaker, you'll want to use the longer pair of wires.

Hey, thanks a lot guys! I appreciate it! I bought Rockford Fosgates for it, so I'm assuming they're single coils.
