you will most likely have to replace everything to sound secent, as the monsoon sucks if you add just speakers to the stock deck. I would get a decent deck, 4 speakers with a 4 channel amp and it will sound very good.

All the stereo dealers tell you the same thing as black01_WS6. And it's true to the extent that if you want really high sound quality, or to rattle your neighbors windows, you'll be wanting to replace the entire Monsoon system.
But if you're just looking for modest improvement, a speaker swap will do it for you.
For door speaker replacement, the Infinity Kappa 62.7's are popular. I like the Alpine SPS-170A's, but you'll need to buy seperate tweeters for your Pontiac. I believe the Kappa's have a removable tweeter for remote mounting, even though they are classified as a coaxial speaker.
In the sail panels (rear seat), I like either the Audiobahn AMD60Q or Pioneer Premier TS-M7PRS speakers. Remember, you'll see 4 wires going to each speaker here, as the stockers are dual voice coil (Pontiacs only, Camaros have SVC sail speakers). Only hook up 1 pair of wires to your replacements. The amp doesn't seem to like the 2 pairs being bridged.
Some people claim that the rear hatch speakers are not worth replacing. But I'm really glad I did in my SS. I know the rear hatch in Pontiacs have both a mid and tweeter back there. I do not know if these are combined into a single speaker on each side, or totally seperate. Camaros have only a 4" midrange speaker on each side back there. I replaced mine with SPS-100A's when I did my door swap.
