I have nice aftermarket replacements for you guys if you need them...in addtiona to entire systems to replace the Monsoon. I even include amp kits and installation accessories depending on the system.
Replacements for the sails start at $89.00 a pair. Systems start around $500.00.

I have a factory monsoon head unit that came out of my 2000 ss. Has been sitting in my closet for quite some time. If you are interested in keeping your system stock I would be willing to let it go for $100, otherwise buy a pioneer head unit they sound great.

My monsoon just decided to quit the CD function. I still have a radio though. I'm getting a pioneer that fits the whole front plate without using the cheap looking adapters.
