Stock speaker replacement Hey all dont know a whole lot about the sound aspect of things but the speaker thats in my passengers side door just sucks, rattles and vibrates to the point that its painful to listen to the radio. What are the best OEM replacement speakers and where can I get one at? Not really interested in an upgrade but at the same time I dont want to spend the money on a used OEM speaker. Thanks!

Thanks guys!
Like said above Im not looking for heroic quality, something comparable to stock.
I looked around on the kee audio site but only saw the package, are the door speakers sold by themselves? Also are these plug and play with the stock wiring?

and as far as quality, any known name is going to be better than stock. unless you go to walmart and spend $10 on a pair of speakers they will be an improvement. kee audio does have "coaxials" which is what you are looking for but im pretty sure kee audio is more quality than cheap replacement. i'd go for alpines on amazon like i said if you really dont care.
or go to best buy, find speakers you like, buy on amazon. dont bother looking at bb's prices. the speakers i bought were over $100 a pair at best buy at the time.

i dont know much about the camaro fronts but im pretty darn sure they will wire up easily to any speaker of that size (6.5s i assume).

And yes...I know you can modify a coaxial speaker to work like a component set but I think the OP is looking for something simple.

Late bump, but anyone else want to chime in? Starting to get really bad and Im thinking about getting the basic package. If you have the Kee audio package post up-let me know what you think of it.

I don't have the whole package but I have the CDT door speakers from Kee Audio and I have been very impressed. They are a significant improvement over stock.

I have CDT comps and Bazooka DVC sails. They are great replacements and I would think they are cheaper and easier to find than a set of OEM Monsoons. Besides, if you have one blown speaker now, the rest will follow shortly.

I have last years version of his premium front speakers and they are a huge improvement over the stock units. They are excellant speakers for the price. Plus the owner is a great guy to deal with and he really knows his stuff if you need technical help.

For those of you with the Kee Audio Package, Have you installed these speakers in with your stock monsoon deck? Can you buy the Kee Audio package and then put a better amp in the system as well while still keeping the monsoon deck? I looked at the package online and it looks great. I am just wondering if I can also put in another amp along with the speaker package and how it will affect things?
I bought new OEM speakers off of eBay a couple years ago. I am pleased with the stock sound. But, I spent about the same price for them, as the Kee Audio set (which I don't think was available 2 years ago....or at least, i was unaware of it). Had I known about it, I'm sure I would have went with the Kee speakers.

My wife just got me a new head unit from best buy. Its a basic little pioneer head unit, cost like a 100 bucks plus install, nothing fancy. Would the key audio package still work with it? Also the tech at best buy said they could match the price of the basic kee audio package with all pioneer speakers-didnt get the specifics as I was walking out. What do yall think?
I appreciate the help fellas. I could tear the entire drive train apart by myself and be fairly confident, but I know exactly jack and **** about this audio stuff.

most anyone can take anything apart, so thats not really much to brag about. AND you would probably have your daddy help you take it apart so I'm thinking that the most accurate statement there would be that you dont know jack ****. Anyways

I wasn't trying to brag, just stating that In knew how to turn a wrench fairly well, and illustrate the point that I know nothing about audio, jackass. Where do you think I learned that from? Oh ya when your motor fell the **** apart and I got a call saying "Please help me Kc, I'm so puny and weak I cant do it all on my own...Que the whambulance...I think I brought you some french cries too, *******.
You know what? You really are an internet tough guy, you give me **** for anything I post up and when you call me EVERY DAY because your sooooo damn bored driving to work your a whole lot nicer...wait, no your not. your still an *******.
So thanks for your utterly irrelevant post, *******. Talk to ya tomorrow.
EDIT: And my dad wont be helping me out with the stuff I have to do to the car. You will and you know it.
