also, if anyone has any other information i should know when looking for speakers and the power specs of the stock amp.
I heard its either 200 or 500. if its 200 then would i have to look for speakers with less than 25RMW rating?

First, read the Monsoon FAQ sticky. It has a lot of information about the amp and speakers used in the Monsoon system. Then step away from the Best Buy catalog and find a decent place to buy speakers that will actually work with your system. You'll find that the common coaxial speakers sold at big box stores aren't a good fit for the way the speakers are set up in a Monsoon system.

thanks but im just looking to replace my stock speakers that are 10years old and sound like complete crap without spending a bunch.
I read the sticky but im a newb with car audio. If the amp is 200watts then the RMS of each speaker is like 25-30 right? So do i look for speakers with a RMS of 25? or can i go over that number slightly?

Forget about watts. The output of the Monsoon amp is about 240 WRMS meaning that about 30 watts goes to each speaker (8 channel amp). I've never seen a 6.5" or 6.75" speaker that couldn't handle 30 watts except maybe at a flea market.

Have a look at non-sponsor link deleted for some good deals on speakers. YOu should be able to get something decent on a budget.
Good luck.
PS- component speakers are heads above any coax. Don't waste your money on coax.

I hate the way that they mount in most cars. Fortunately for Fbody, we have that nice removable triangle near the a pillar we can mount super wide alpine stupidface asshead tweeters. Seriously. Try installing that crap in other cars when your customers aren't wanting you to cut a huge hole in their door panel and have it look great.
