Default Infinity 6032si as replacement?

Read through the Monsoon sticky and learned a lot. The tweeters are 4 ohm and the woofers are 2 ohm. The 6032si s are 2 ohm but crutchfield says they will be fine. Any views or experience on these for the front doors and sail panel?

You can use them in the doors although you will be losing use of a channel in each door unless you modify the speakers to separate the tweeter from the mid. The original speakers are separate components so installing coaxial speakers will work but isn't ideal.

Using those speakers in the sail panels is NOT recommended. The sail panel speakers are subs and only low frequency signal is available through the factory wiring. Your options are to get subs for the sail panel (Elemental Designs, Audiopipe, Bazooka) or disconnect your hatch speakers and run those wires to the sail panels for a full-range signal so that the coaxials will work (with the corresponding overall loss of bass).

Thanks. I assume I'll be splitting the inputs but is the 4ohm input from the amp ok to go to the 2 ohm tweeter?

Also mine is a vert so rear seat speakers only - do you know if they are also 4 wire??

Running the 4 ohm amp channel to 2 ohm tweeter will most likely not hurt anything. Lots of guys do it on here. The reason is that the tweeter draws such a small load that it wont hurt anything. However, if you put a high output 2 ohm speaker (such as a sub) onto a 4 ohm amp, then you will have major problems.
