Best Monsoon Sail Panel Speaker Replacements?
I have a 2002 T/A with the monsoon system and an aftermarket headunit. I replaced the sail panel speakers in my old 98 T/A with what I thought would be pretty decent Alpine's but I was wrong and they were terrible.
So, what are your experiences with them, what do you all recommend?
I was thinking about these: (non-sponsor link removed)
But I have no idea if I should go shallow mount subwoofer or component speaker. Thoughts?

You should read the Monsoon sticky in this section first. All the answers are there. There are also several site sponsors who sell the correct speakers.

"Replacing the factory speakers is mostly a matter of finding suitable speakers that fit and sound the way you like. Much has been said about the different impedance levels of the factory speakers and most aftermarket speakers but this is not a critical factor. Replacing factory 2-ohm speakers with aftermarket 4-ohm ones would normally cause a noticeable reduction in the volume because of cutting the output power in half. Cutting the power in half does not result in half the volume... it results in a 3dB drop in volume which is noticeable but not a huge difference. That assumes that the speakers have the same sensitivity (efficiency). If the replacement speaker is at least 3dB more sensitive than the original speaker then there will be no loss of volume. The factory speakers are notoriously inefficient so almost any aftermarket replacement, regardless of rated impedance, is going to sound better."
If the stock speakers are 2 ohm and bazooka makes 2 ohm subs, why wouldn't I want those instead of the 4 ohm ones?

If lower impedance were optimal, why not go all the way to zero? Current stability and damping are also important considerations, especially when newer more efficient (higher sensitivity) speakers with higher impedance can achieve the same volume levels as older lower impedance speakers.
Not the most cost effective, but probably the best under $200:

This is so much more complicated than I had hoped. I just need to know what to buy:
