No, Robzombie is correct. The Camaro Monsoon system has 8 speaker locations which are all powered by the 8-channel Monsoon amp (including the door tweeters).
The Firebird version of the Monsoon system has 10 speaker locations and the sail panel subs are DVC making a total of 12 channels so the 8-channel Monsoon amp powers everything except the tweeters which are driven directly by the head unit.

Did not read the thread all the way through but my guess is install error. I recently installed a Kenwood Excelon X998 in my 02 Z28 with a Kee Audio level 2 package and everything works and sounds great. I was underwhelmed with the sound until I ditched the stock HU. That thing is a POS.

Use the RCA outputs only when connecting to an aftermarket amp. The Monsoon amp uses speaker-level input so you connect an aftermarket HU just as you would with a non-Monsoon system... get a harness adapter, wire it to the HU and plug the whole thing into the factory wiring. A LOC is used to convert speaker-level signal to pre-amp (line) level so it would only be used to step down the speaker-level signal if you were adding a secondary amp for a sub or something (regardless of head unit).

In a Camaro, all eight speaker elements (including tweeters) have their own individual channels from the Monsoon amp.
Please read the Monsoon FAQ sticky for additional information.
