Default Convertible Rear Speakers HELP

1st, I want nothing fancy/expensive. That said, I've blown a rear speaker in my stock sound system. Can anyone tell me good inexpensive speaker to go with on the Monsoon system? I'd even replace all four if it will sound a little better.

You will need spacers for the rear speakers as only about 1.5 inches of clearance is there before you interfere with the convertible top mechism.

Also, the rear speakers are a combined sub-woofer and tweeter so most speakers will not sound correct (I have tried this and found out the hard way) such as coaxils, etc.

PM me if you have questions as I have done this and now I have a new amp, speakers but stock HU.

So, from talking to Tom99SS, it sounds like there is no direct-connect replacement speakers right?

It also depends on whether or not you have a monsoon system in it or not, as not all convertibles came with a Monsoon system. If it's a base factory system, all you need to use are the spacers. If it's a Monsoon system, you may need to do some rewiring.

It is a Monsoon system.
