Hey guys, long time forum stalker, first time poster.
I've been trying to find information about aftermarket stereos in my G6 and it seems that every place I look, it says something different from where I looked before (more than likely due to the many configurations of our cars). I searched this forum and many other forums and even called crutchfield and they were still confused. I am asking all these questions before I tear into my car so I don't have to keep taking things apart, so please bear that in mind. I have a 2007 G6 coupe with the 8 speaker monsoon sound system.
My questions are:
1) What size speakers are in the front doors and the rear deck? I have 3 grills on the front doors and only know that the bottom speaker is a 6 3/4, but what is the middle speaker and the tweeter size? As for the rear deck, I hear 6x9 but somewhere I read that there is another speaker back there? Would anyone recommend 2 ways or 3 ways in the doors?
2) The monsoon system is amplified so I assume I'll have to do away with that since all aftermarket stereos are amped at the head unit. Is there a way to simply use the factory amp wiring if I were inclined to replace the amp with an aftermarket one? I would like to keep from clipping off connectors by using some sort of adapter. Also, is there an amp that can be put in the factory location? I would like to keep the factory look by not just shoving it in the trunk.
I'm sure these questions have been asked before and I apologize for asking again but since I can't get a straight answer, I have to ask.
