RE: will monsoon work? - 1/10/2008 4:58:22 AM    Jay from Holland   Posts: 20 Joined: 1/9/2008 Status: offline the unit is theft lock free so no problems there. im just not sure what Monsoon stands for, i know that the monsoon units came with 6 or 8 speakers (maybe more?) and my conv. has only 4 speakers, 2 frond and 2 rear. The output of a monsoon goes to 6 (or more) speakers, the connectorplug is the same as my old one. Isnt it possible that my 4 speakers wil "overload" and break? _____________________________ `97 Camaro Conv. (in reply to Spartan66) Post #: 4

RE: will monsoon work? - 1/10/2008 9:20:19 PM    The Banks Posts: 860 Joined: 12/3/2006 From: San Diego, CA Status: offline Bose speakers are interchangable with Monsoon speakers.  I swapped out the two Monsoon speakers in my backseat with my brother's old Bose speakers.  The rear seat Bose speakers sound better than the rear seat Monsoon speakers...bigger magnets.  Cars with the Monsoon system have 6 speakers, 2 in the front, two in the back seat, and two in the trunk area.  Theres some information on here that may or may not help you: http://www.z28.com/forum/showthread.php?t=64468 _____________________________ FQuick KILL LIST BMW 528i (in reply to Spartan66) Post #: 9
