Monsoon experts please......?
Monsoon experts please......? Tell me, is it true the H/U run's the front speakers & the Amp run's the rears?
the reason i ask is, i had some crackling on the right side front speaker.
I bought the Alpine 6.5 & replaced the front speakers.
Still there is crackling.
so i replace the Monsoon Amp with a new monsoon Amp.
Same problem...?
Could it be the H/U??
any help will be appreciated.

Here is a link that might help! http://members.aol.com/kustomz28/Cam...amaroInfo.html
It seems like the HU powers the tweeters.
I took mine out and I am repacing it with a Kenwood system. I going to have to re-wire the whole car, because the Monsoon wiring is set up different than most.

H/U powers the tweeters and sends the signal to the amp directly from those same channels. That would be my next guess....

I believe the Camaro's use Coaxial front speakers.. No seperate wiring at all for the Tweeter there on the speaker. It's integrated and taps into the Left and Right Speaker wiring. If your going to replace the stock speakers with an aftermarket.. You might want to pick up a seperate tweeter and tap into the speaker wiring and run it parallel.

I did replace with the Alpines that you (rogue leader) suggested in a post awhile back.
They still crackle. I am about to say F$% it! & replace the whole damn thing!

the next broken link I would say is probably the deck... otherwise I dont know.. It couldnt be anything else (Im assuming you made sure your wires are ok...but even then I doubt that would do anything like crackling)

crackling or rattling? My right front has now got the case of the rattling (guessing blown). Only the right front. How hard is it to get in there and look at the z28 front right speaker? options that dont cost a fortune?

what would you do if you would rather spend the money elsewhere? buying used is always a gamble. What size are they? i got an new pair of two way 5.25" mb quarts laying around but based on the magnet size i'd guess they probably eat more watts than those stockers..

Door panel is easy to remove (then again Im a ex car stereo shop guy soo) as long as your patient and careful you wotn break anything... take out the little trim screw holding the thing around the handle, and the triangle thing, pull out the window/lock control, poip off the lock button... this will expose 4 big screws needed to remove the panel, one under there, one in the map pocket, one on the bottom of the grab handle, and uh theres another someowhere in there I think, I cant remember but you'll see it. then just pull up and out on the whole panel. it pops right off.
IMO get the Alpines or Infinity Reference, they are cheap, sound good, and fit right. Better than bad scratchy music or speakers you'll need to replace again!

which particular model (part # current rev) do you recommend, and what size/wattage are they if i need to improvise, if you don't mind me asking.
(ie 25 watt rms 6.5)??
I guess my fricken turn signal went out again too, so i'll have the joy of fecking with that too this weekend.

yah i had my buddy at the stereo shop plop some alpines in. Sound good, won't blow, if they do, at least theres a lifetime warranty. oh well a few bucks spent, but better than the rattley pos blown one.
i have a feeling the rest will follow since i like it loud and bass-y

I put four Infinity Kappa 652.5i 6.75" speakers in mine. one in each door and one in each side panel. They might cost a little more than some ($89 a pair), but boy do they sound good. They will work with the factory system, but they will work a whole lot better with a nice aftermarket sytem with some power!
