Important: Need input and info on these kicker speakers...please OK, I have made up my mind on which speakers to replace my blown ones with. Now I figure since I have to replace 2 of them I midas well get all of them to get better sound. So here it goes. I have an 02 Z28 with the 500watt monsoon in it, here are the speakers I want to get. Please give me some input on if they will work or not, and any personal experiance.
Front:
Kicker K65
-6 1/2" midrange
-4ohm
-rms 6-65 watts, peak 130 watts
-sesativity 90db
Sail Panel:
Kicker SSMB6
-6 1/2" midbass
-4ohm
-rms 8-125 watts, peak 250 watts
-sesativity 88db
Rear:
Kicker DX40
-4 inch
-4ohm
-rms 2-25 watts, peak 50 watts
-sensativity 88db
I decided to go with all kickers because I have heard good things about them. Keep in mind I only want to replace the speakers and wire the new ones into the monsoon system with stock monsoon amp. Off of ebay I can get all of these speakers for about $205, so this is a hellofa deal if I can make it work. For wireing, I am going to have a buddy of mine who installs stereos for a living do it for me.
Now......will they work?
I also plan to, in the future, get a subthump box for a kicker solobaric and toss that in there with the aformentioned speakers off the stock amp.

so it wont be as loud as the other speakers, I was under that impression? are we talking across all sound levels, highs and lows? Is it alot different, because I really hated the distortion of the other speakers and wouldnt mind clarity over noise? If you were to rate the stock speakers on a 1-10 scale, and these speakers on the same scale what would they be?
You have the exact same setup?
Once some more $$ comes in I may do the amp and head unit. I dont know. Probably just the amp as I like the sock head unit and steering wheel controls.
