Front Door Speakers
They work but alot of guys have been unhappy with them since they lack a certain amount of midbass and the high frequencies have always sounded a bit shrill to me. I carry them and have used them before. A better option in that price range are the JBL P662 over the Infinity. A better option beyond that is the CDT CL-61CV I use in my package deals on sale right now for $159.99.
The JBL's need a slight mod, like the Infinity's to wire up to the stock system. The CDT's wire up exactly like stock and do not need to be modded.

In a Camaro you have what looks like a coaxial speaker (tweeter mounted in the center of the speaker) and essentially it is....but...the tweeter and the midbass portion of that speaker are wired separately. 2 pairs of wires running to one speaker. A regular coaxial speaker has 1 pos and 1 neg. So in order to wire these correctly you have to do this mod to a regular coaxial for them to work in a Camaro with the Monsoon system:

As I stated in that particular thread, I have some coaxials that are better for this mod then others that actually have the tweeter wires running up the rear magnet on the speaker so that you don't have the wires running in front of it.
I also have the speakers I use in the packages that are made like the stock ones in that they are already wired separately but can be mounted coaxially like stock.
Hope that helps! The Monsoon system can get kind of complicated but it can be modded and sound good when done correctly.

Better then both of those 2. I have used them both in various configurations in my 98 Trans Am with the stock system and on aftermarket power and neither of those 2 held a candle to the CDT's. That was the biggest reason I started carrying them. I bought and used their products blind before I ever sold them. I had never heard of CDT or heard their speakers but they came highly recommended from a couple of audiophile car audio guys I knew and corresponded frequently online that had good reputations . I started using them about 4 years ago in my cars and approached them to carry the line because of how much I liked them personally.

You can't go wrong with the CDTs that Ian sells. They blow Alpine and certainly Infiniti out of the water, particularly with the tweeters. I put them and Bazooka subs in my Formula and will do the same to every f-body I own from now on.

Verdad Gallardo Memphis does make a quality product though and the M Class Memphis product line is about the same quality, price and sound as the JBL Power Series when heard side by side. They even share the same honeycomb core cone. The Memphis is a slight bit brighter though using a metal tweeter vs. the textile dome tweeter which is a little less bright.
Neither are quite as good as the CDT though for overall sound quality.
