If you replace just the rear sail panels with those 6.5 or w.e subs and leave the fronts stock wont they just blow when you crank it. Wouldn't you need to replace all the speakers? ![Icon Confused](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/icon_confused.gif)
Also why get the bazooka DVC subs $120/set when the Audiopipe DVS are $80, are they really that much better or what?

The real culprit with blown speakers in f-body Monsoon systems is the distortion produced by the factory head unit and the cheap materials used in the factory speakers. Decent aftermarket replacement speakers will hold up to the abuse from the head unit better but they will still blow eventually if left connected to the factory head unit - especially if you listen at higher volume settings. The best thing you can do to save your speakers is install a good aftermarket head unit. That can make even the factory speakers sound much better and last longer.

If I understand your question correctly, replacing the sail panel subs (or any set of speakers) without replacing others has nothing to do with whether or not they will blow. In this scenario, your older door speakers would be more likely to blow next than would the new sail panel subs, merely because they are older and deteriorate with age.

I didnt know that the factory HU was that bad thou! I like it cause it fills up the consol nicely whereas the aftermarket, unless the expensive dvd player or navigations, are smaller and look kinda outta place. I wanted to keep it but from what your saying i guess i should just replace it

I agree that the single DIN size aftermarket head units don't really look right in the dash. Double DIN looks great there but, as you noted, they are significantly more expensive. The best look I've seen with single DIN is adding a humount.com mount kit - the one with the car name or other logo illuminated above the head unit faceplate. Do a search on here for humount and you should find plenty of photos.

Just to give a heads up I did finally get another 50 pairs of subs back in stock. I have them priced now at $115.00 per pair with shipping included to the lower 48 states.
Last time I go these back in stock they went quickly so order now!! I also changed the package deals in the F-body packages to include these again for Firebirds and Camaros now get the CL-6 CDT's for sails. Price is $279.00 with shipping to the lower 48 states.

I've had these ordered for 5 months. Actually my order was for 150 total subs. To date I've gotten a total of 100. There are still 50 on back order that I will probably never see.
I have been trying to get them and they just don't have any.
I may be trying to work with a company to have my own built if I can keep the costs about the same or slightly more for a better product I'd do it.

It screwed right into my car when I had them in it and they are a 6.75" woofer but then again I can get stuff to fit in cars and others have issues doing the simplest installs. The biggest thing with the stock subs is that they extend the holes out and the holes for the screws are actually kind of pill shaped. The ones in most speakers are round and the speaker is larger. If you just put all the screws in part way hand tight and then screw them all in after they fit fine. It's when someone put one screw in, tightens it down all the way and then tries to put the next one in and it doesn't line up is the issue for the most part. It's not a perfect alignment but its also not that far off. You would have a more difficult putting a wheel on putting one lug nut on and torqing it down all the way and then trying to put the next one in. It will go but it won't be aligned right...kind of the same issue/principle.

Alright guys, as I understand it eD is discontinuing there DVC subwoofer and rumor is that they won't be making anymore. This came from a customer of mine that actually tried to order them recently.
Regardless if this is true or not, I am knocking $10.00 off the DVC Bazooka subs for a limited time so the price will be $105.00 with shipping included to the lower 48 states. Shipping to places like Hawaii, Canada, and Europe (yes I had someone try to buy some to send to an embassy in Italy....ended up with a local address in Jersey instead) is extra.
This sale will not last long so take advantage of it while I can still do it!! Supplies of these are limited as usual!!
