Replacing Monsoon speakers I am trying to replace the speakers in my wife's 02 Camaro with Monsoon. I have read the Monsoon FAQ and searched for advice. I have come across this quote many times concerning replacing 2 ohm speakers with 4 ohm speakers.
What I haven't seen is what is the sensitivity of the factory speakers? I need to be 3dB more sensitive than what?
Thanks in advance.
If the replacement speaker is at least 3dB more sensitive than the original speaker then there will be no loss of volume
Thanks in advance.

The sensitivity of the factory speakers is not a published value but you can be certain that any decent brand name speaker will be better by at least 3dB. And even if they weren't, a 3dB difference is equivalent to only about one click of the volume **** so it's not much of a difference unless you're really pushing the volume (in which case there are better choices than sticking with the Monsoon system).

But the OP hasn't been back since the thread started so I guess he was another one-post wonder.
