Default Its the Amp!

Well I figured out what went wrong with my factory monsoon system...the amp is toast. I plugged in my brothers amp from his WS6 and my stereo came back to life. So now I need to find a monsoon amp for my SS....any ideas what these things cost, or where I should look?...I need new front door speakers too, I dont know if I am best to just source some stockers?..or throw in the alpines I have in my garage....(In the past when I have put aftermarket speakers in they sound like ****, but I dont know why)..Kind of a stereo newbie. Any advice??

Various versions of the packages can be done as well.

Your right most aftermarket speakers sound like crap. Depending on the power of the amp you want to buy I would run components. Go to onlinecarstereo.com. I bought my hi fonics components for 60 bucks a pair. DO NOT USE THEM WITHOUT AN AMP..trust me.
