wait...what car is this? you say GXP with monsoon...grand prix? bonneville? solstice? G6?

either way, monsoon systems are amplified and cross over. chances are the ohm loads are incorrect on the pioneers an you might even have the wrong wires. give more info, like did your stock front speakers have a separate tweeter? is that tweeter still installed?

not much. you have to match the factory impedence and wattage to get the same sound. When upgrading to aftermarket speakers it is usually always a good idea to upgrade to an aftermarket amp to push em. monsoon amp = fail
