Default Monsoon stereo help.

Does anybody know factory Monsoon stereos well? I just replaced all of the factory speakers except for the driver side back seat speaker. Would that cause the system to not operate at full strength? I'm pretty sure it should be able to go louder than what it does. It makes a popping sound when it is turned up too far.

Depends. What did you replace the speakers with? Did you just replace them with other factory Monsoon speakers? Or with aftermarket?

If you installed factory speakers correctly I don't see how that could be the problem. Were you having any problems before you replaced the speakers? (other than the obvious).

The car had an aftermarket stereo system in it when I bought it. I traded it off for performance parts. So I just wanted to put a factory monsoon system back in it. If it did have problems before I wouldnt know. I was kinda wondering that myself. Maybe the guy that had it before me had problems with it and decided to put all aftermarket stuff in.

Does the car still have all the factory plugs and harnesses? Some people butcher them up pretty bad when they go aftermarket. The monsoon is sorta complicated, if you have to wire everything up the hard way that is.
