Gut the monsoon replace everything This is my first time posting on the site. I've only had my TA for 6 months and the first major upgrade I wanna do is replace the soundsystem. The previous owner removed the 2 6.5 in the back and used the power source to power subs. I blew both the two front speakers. And my speakers in the trunk are still intact. Headunit is stock. This is what im planning on doing and I'd appreciate it if you could help me out and give me your opinion
In the doors: Pair of Type r Component speakers
In the back seats: pair of type r's. Do i have to buy the ones there with the tweeter mounted?
In the trunk: planning on not using those speakers. Or should I get them replaced?
Subs: 2 Type R's or X's 10 inches with the two stealth boxes.
Amps: 4-channel amp for the speakers, mono or 2 channel for the subs. in the amp rack in teh trunk. again alpine for the amps
Headunit: dub din eclipse or alpine something good. The bezels for it seem expensive unless I can fabricate my own.
And a 3.5 farad cap or something like that

The 6.5's in the backseat are 6.5in subwoofers... I suggest you look at Keeaudio, he is a vendor on the site. I bought his CDT complete package and im very pleased with the sound qualilty and price. The monsoon headunit is not bad and same goes with the factory amp. Im still running my factory headunit and amp with those speakers along with 2 12" kickers and a 1500x1rms amp and it sounds fantastic. So all of those things you posted are not entirely nescesary to make it sound better plus you will pay a arm and leg on those Alpines vs Keeaudio.

The 1st thing that you need to do is the"big 3 wiring upgrade".
do a search on this.
With subs, you don't need to run the rear hatch speakers.
the sound pressure with the subs messes up the sound on them anyhow.
Also, you don't have to run 2-10's or 12's.
I wanted to save the trunk space so I had somewhere to put my T-tops
So I found a stealthbox to put in the left side of the hatch area.
I put a 10" Diamond audio sub in with a 1200:1 Diamond audio amp.
It hits hard!!
