I have decided to instal a new set of speakers with my stock monsoon system in my 2006 pontiac gt sedan (I am tired of blowing speakers).

I took apart my door today, and had a peak under the rear deck and noticed that there are 4wires going to each speaker. The monsoon system is also 2ohm

I found these 2ohm, 3-way speakers from jbl:
GTO937
GTO637

Does anyone know how to instal without a re-wire?
Can I put both the positive of the hi and low on the positive terminal of the speaker, and both the negatives on the negative side (4 wires going to 2 terminals..)?

thankyou!

 

No, you can't add the low and hi together to combine them. If it's anything like my car was, 06montecarloss, it had mid and tweet in the doors and woofer and mid in the rear. It came with a minature (panasonic) 4 in 8 out crossover/amp. It was all 2 ohm. The reason for it all being 2 ohm, is that there is no (NO) power supply in the amplifier. It doesn't matter what you do with speakers, it's not going to sound any better. Put the best speakers in there and you still distroy them with distortion because there is not enough power.
Rip it all out. start over. gm can't build a sound system.

 

"Rip it all out. start over. gm can't build a sound system."

you mean GM can build reliable cars:|!..since when

 

LMAO.

 

Alot more reliable then most. And Smoke you drive a Matrix. Can you say Vibe!?!? And elroy your 17 how many cars have you owned?? 1 maybe alot of experience there. Every single automaker has issues no matter who it is. Its all luck of the draw, maintance, and driver habits and drive style. And if you buy a used car and the people before you ran the snot out of it and didn't maintain it then of course its going to die. Its amazing that people always blame the manufacture. I've had GM's to last into 400,000km on the same engine and tranny I have also had them die. Ford and Chyrsler I have had tranny issues. But again they were used so I can't say anything bad I just bought other peoples habits. Thats it. Imports people say are better. Some yes some no. Why when the guy comes on here asking about a system people bash the vehicle they are driving?

 

^ For my opinion, search my name and 'Z34' GM - where quality is job none.

n-e-ways.. Yeah don't bother trying to adapt to the stock monsoon system. Put in new speakers, a new CD player, and run new speaker wires.

 

Lol. Calm down. I am quite aware that my car is the sister vehicle of the vibe. I am actually a fan of some gm/chev vehicles. I am more a fan of the lower prices of them than anything. As for the general comparison between imports and domestics, its proven statistically that imports are more reliable than domestics. Its also more common that imports also have more "refinement" and a tighter fit and finish. Who do the auto manufacturers compare against for refinement and fit and finish? Usually european made vehicles. Unfortunately imports also usually carry a higher price tag. All in all, I have nothing against domestics. I was actually considering buying a cobalt ss but instead opted for the matrix. What this all amounts to is there is no reason to get your panties in a bunch.

cheers

 

ya ya i know, and I know the Matrix is like 2g's less then the vibe when it came out which baffled me as well. Domestic will be cheaper to fix (most of the time) and rust out later then an import. IMO

 

most of your imports are domesticly built so is this a valid agument? Yes it is gm sucks. ...

 

the vibe is about as much GM as a honda is.
funny enough, the saturn Vue v6 is from honda, out of the accord.

even funnier is that most reliability ratings show the Vue and Vibe to be the two most reliable GM vehicles, excluding corvettes and caddys.

GM used to make better cars, their quality is slipping because theyre in financial trouble.


but anyways, like was said above, replace the system from end to end instead of trying to integrate things, youll thank yourself in the long run.
