sail panel speakers Is there a better option for sail panel speakers than OEM ? At this present time, I disconnected both. The door panel and rear hatch speakers are being used, along with, a JBL 600 watt amp powering 2 -12 inch sub woofers. Bass is superb. DNB, etc. However, when I have the sail panel speakers wired in, they rattle and ruin the tune.

If you are still using the stock amp for the speakers, you'll need a DVC speaker. (There should be more info in the stickies.) Your options are limited, but you do have fine options.
I've had Bazookas in for years and they have been great.

I have 2 TA's. The one I'm working on presently had an Alpine HU installed by the prior owner. The sail panel speaker wiring appears to have been abandoned. I spliced the rear speaker wiring, adding wiring for the sail panel speakers, which are 4 ohm kicker 6.5s. The bass is provided from the 12 inch subwoofers. My other TA has the Monsoon. I acquired a Pac Oem 1 or something like that, connects to the OEM Monsoon HU, but allows for RCA wiring output for an after market amp. I intend to use a JBL 600 amp with a 12 subwoofer. Overall, the Monsoon is " acceptable " by itself, but not good enough and " looks nice " if an OEM look is desired.

Here's an alternative. (Your thread inspired me to reactivate all the dead links in mine.)

I replaced my door and sail panels with JL C3 convertible components. Still waiting on my tax return, then it's Alpine PDT amp, wiring kit, and finished. Don't know if I'm going to replace the hatch speakers (mine are blown)

I made it a lot harder than it needs to be, but this thread will answer your questions: https://ls1tech.com/forums/stereo-el...ll-w-pics.html

Hey WSSIX99..great write up!
Did you put the covers back on by the way.. cant quite make that out ?
Also I wondered why my plastic sail panel keeps moving around.. didn't realise there was a mod to stop that using a screw..
I cant quite see that sheet metal screw in your writeu up/pics of the mod..does it go through the speaker grill tabs into the metal underneath ?

The grilles pop right back on - just like stock.
This thread has all the details on the screw and the TSB behind the fix. (The screw does go through one of the tabs that hold on to the grille.) https://ls1tech.com/forums/general-m...-interior.html
