Please read the Monsoon FAQ sticky at the top of the forum.

BTW, a lot of the information in the link above is incorrect.

jump on over to crutchfield.com

sorts the speakers by size, what fits and what doesn't, and if you buy from them, they include all the necessary installation hardware for free.

Too bad they are often VERY wrong. I can understand that they might recommend 2-way and 3-way speakers for the sail panels because they don't know about the signal filtering in the Monsoon amp that requires midbass/subs there (it's still WRONG but I can understand how it happens). But they also list 5.25" speakers for doors and sail panels which require 6.5" speakers. I can see the thread now... "My new speakers fall right through the openings, how do I mount them? They must be right because Crutchfield said so."

While they will list smaller speakers as fitting, if you read the fine print, they include mounting brackets that will allow them to fit. Why anyone would want a 5.5" speaker when a 6.5" fits is beyond me, but that's not my choice...

As for the two and three ways, I agree with what you said, if not because of misunderstanding, then possibly because 6.5" low-range speakers/woofers are rare and difficult to find (without buying a component system).
