Back to Basics... Sound Problems I've decided to go back to "stock" although I couldn't find the OEM speakers locally. I got my self 4 speakers from a 2007 Optra... problem is that they are 4ohms...
I've been reading the FAQ, Stickies and searched very old threats but can't find the answers or maybe I just didn't understand how/what to do... hopefully someone can help me out or point me in the right direction.
a little background: 5 years ago I replaced the HU for an Alpine stereo and changed all the speakers... sadly everything got stolen except from the door speakers.
There are 2 sets of wires for each speaker, the OEM and the aftermarket one.. I tried connecting them trough the OEM but no sound at all... I try the aftermarket and nothing...
My question is, How can i connect them to the Monsoon unit?
Do I have to bypass the Amp? Should I re-wire?
this are the speakers:
Front/Middle/Rear
Front:
Back/Middle:
Rear(cargo):
For what I understood this is what I should do to the front/door ones right?
Thanks!

Ok, So I just came back from the car and looks like I still have all the connectors but I guess it doesn't matter since all the speakers don't have them...
I'm gonna go using the OEM wiring... Now do I have to do something with the AMP??
I pluged the monsoon HU to the OEM connector. then I connected one speaker to the respective wires (I tried front, middle and rear) but I still don't get ANY sound at all.... What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Is the Monsoon amp still there? Did you check the RADIO ACCY fuse that protects the amp?
Camaros power all speakers through the Monsoon amp so if nothing is working, the amp is a logical point of failure (either it's missing, doesn't have power, or possibly the connections have been cut during an earlier installation).
