Mounting depth for the sail panel subs?
I haven't taken the sail panel covers off yet and am wanting to see if these subs will fit.

the CompRT67 which are the ones in this model line that would be of discussion here are listed as either a dual 1 ohm or dual 2 ohm so yes they wouldn't work in a Firebird you could do the dual 1 ohm, and wire the voice coils in series to have the single 2 ohm load for the camaros.

I'm replacing the entire sound system. None of the original monsoon system will be used.
Thanks guys! I'm going to order them in the next couple of weeks and will post my review

Each voice coil in a DVC speaker is wired as though it was a separate speaker so you have two pairs of positive and negative wires. You can wire them in parallel or series. In parallel, the total impedance is half of an individual voice coil... a 2-ohm DVC speaker wired in parallel will have 1 ohm total impedance for the amp. In series, the total impedance is the sum of the two individual voice coils... a 2-ohm DVC speaker wired in series will have 4 ohms total impedance for the amp.
Parallel wiring means connecting the two positive terminals together and the two negative terminals together. The current flows to each voice coil in parallel to the other:
Parallel speaker wiring
Series wiring means connecting the amp positive to the first pair's positive terminal, the negative of that pair to the positive terminal of the second voice coil, and the negative of the second voice coil to the amp's negative. The current flows through the first voice coil and out through the second voice coil before returning to the amp:

Camaro Monsoon systems are designed to use 2-ohm speakers in the sail panels. You can create 2 ohms total impedance with a 1-ohm DVC speaker by wiring in series so that the two voice coils in the speaker add up to 2 ohms total impedance.
Parallel wiring means connecting the two positive terminals together and the two negative terminals together. The current flows to each voice coil in parallel to the other:

Uh, no. There are two factory speaker wires on each side of the car (a positive and a negative). Each original speaker had two terminals so one wire went to each terminal. The new DVC speakers have four terminals each (a positive/negative pair for each voice coil). You have to connect the factory positive wire to one of the positive terminals on the speaker, then connect a short piece of wire from the negative terminal of that pair to the positive terminal of the other pair, and finally connect the factory negative wire to the remaining terminal (negative of the second pair). You do that on each side of the car - you don't connect one side of the car to the other.
Here's a diagram for each speaker:
