Default Stereo Replacements

I just purchased a 1997 trans am ws6 and all of the speakers do not work but it did come with an amp. I was wondering what the sizes would be to replace everything including the tweeters and what subs i could put in the back that would have a nice sound. Thanks

Well then, it would not have tweeters or an amp. Besides, the speaker sizes are the same in the base audio system as in a Monsoon system except that the base system doesn't have hatch speakers or door tweeters.

Not enough information. Without knowing what type of aftermarket amp and how it's wired to various speaker locations, it's difficult to tell if any given speakers will work well with it. In general, if it's a 4-channel amp wired to the doors and sail panels then most 6.5" speakers will work. But it could be something different.
