Default 6.5 subs

I read the stickies but couldnt get a straight answer, or maybe i missed it. My 6.5 subs are blown, can i just get a nice pair of 6.5 speakers to replace them. if i want more bass i will add a sub in the rear.

You must have missed it. No, you can't put ordinary speakers in the sail panels without rewiring. They will sound terrible because the Monsoon amp provides only low-pass filtered signal (for subs) to those speakers.

You can put them in there but they will blow eventually.

Walmart sells 6.5 inch subs for 29.99 in a box. They will fit in the sail panels you will just need to go easy on them for a week or two or they will blow

Those aren't subs, and they are junk. If you want to try them, that's your decision.
