Please read the Monsoon FAQ sticky first then perhaps contact Ian at Kee Audio about his f-body replacement speakers. The door speakers are components not coaxials so you will get the best sound using component replacements.
In my 95 firebird I had Orion 6.5in components they sounded pretty good @ 50w rms x 4 & the tweeter fit sweet where the factory cover was Looked good 
The 95 T/A will be getting Polk Audio 6.5 components with 100w rms x 4 I installled the 2nd set in the rear & chucked those lil hissin *** speakers back there lol No middle speakers on that one but this set up is gettin somethin sweet with L7 8s in the rear left & right Components sound way better in my opinion Spend 100 bucks & get components youll thank me later

i would say polk 6500dxi's if u want to keep it components, infinitys tend to be be more "bright" which makes them become crackely at higher volumes where as polks have better full range and sound better at higher volume.

If you're on a tight budget, I would just find stock speakers in the classifieds on here. I sold my a few years ago for next to nothing.
If you want a good aftermarket speaker setup, then WhiteBird is right, you should contact Ian at Kee Audio. I have his f-body speaker package in my car, sounds great, and was easy to install.

Uhh, why? Why would you want to give up amplification and just use head unit power? If you get the right speakers for each position (components for doors, subs for sail panels), the Monsoon amp can be quite effective.

what if someone cut out the monsoon amp when they sold the car, so all you have is
the black wire that ran to the amp and a tall glass of sadness?

If the wiring isn't damaged, you could probably get a Monsoon amp cheap in the for sale section here and just plug it in. Remember Camaro and Firebird amps are different so make sure you get the right model.

No, they won't give you earth shattering bass, as they're only a 6.5-6.75" speaker, but the mids are solid and the highs clear and bright. That works just fine for me, as I have a "performance car", not a "rolling concert hall"....
One note, however. I have an aftermarket head unit (Pioneer), which has more power than an OE unit.
Had to cut the tweeter wire from the inputs to make the speaker a "component" style setup. Soldered speaker wire to leads and insulated them.
in the door
both speakers have had it
