Hey, all it has been a while, since i posted this but i was just woundering, both of the sail pannel tweeters on my monsoon system stoped working. They are located in the sail pannel. They stopped working around dec..and it has just been to cold to work on it. What happened was the passenger side tweeter was popping and cracking under high bass. then eventually it stopped working, which lead me to believe either i blew it or it shorted out. I probably blew it. Then the drivers side one stopped working as well. So now neither of them are working. I checked my amp and all connections seemed to be good. All were firm and there was no water or anything on the amp. So my question is, if it was blown would it cause the other tweeter to stop working as well?

 

tweeters in the sail panel? thats a new one on me.....i thought their was mid bass speakers in there?

 

in the sail pannel on the monsoon system there are 2 6.5 or 6.4 size tweeters that provide the low bass. So no one knows if one might cause the other to go as well?

 

One will not cause the other to go out. It might have just gone out. My driver's side was busted the other is working fine. The speakers are not too good anyway. Replace it with that 6 1/2 RF subwoofer.

 

i never knew tweeters produced bass?

 

Ok thanks, and yeah they do produce bass, thats where all the lows come from. Is there a reason why they both arent working if the amp is good?

 

The speakers are just blown. The speakers in your sail panels, just to clear things up, are just truely subwoofers. Unless somebody switched them. The speakers themselves, do they have a screen going over it with the blue tweeter showing, or does it not have a screen over the whole speaker? If it does not have the screen then it just the subwoofer hence no highs. You said you do get bass though?

 

Yes they are subs, 6.5" subs...i do get mild bass, but its from the door pannel speakers. The tweetes in the sail pannel are no longer working.
So they are just blown??? Seems odd that they would both go at the same time? At first i thought it was a pannel connection? Because for a short while they would cut in and out depending...but now they totally stopped working. They havent worked in about 3 months.

 

Yeah the stock speakers are weird like that. If anything try to find those Rockford Fosgates or just go to GMparts direct with your part number and order them if you want to keep stock. They are like 34 a piece last time I checked.

 

So i can use aftermarket subs in that location? Wouldnt that mess with the amp or head unit? Plus would it fit correctly? Do you happen to have a link for the RF's that would fit? And or a part# for stock woofers? I heard that you can just remove the plastic part that covers the tweeters to get at the sub, but wouldnt i have to remove the whole sail pannel to make sure all that stuff is hooked up correctly?

 

Factory Subwoofers: 9365799

The Rockfords: Rockford Fosgate RFP4406 6.5" Subs

The Rockfords just go in place of existing ones. They hit hard from what I heard. They are still running at 4 ohms, but they actually sound better cause of the better build qualitly. The stock ones are just paper. Won't be disappointed. If you have the money and can find em, I say go aftermarket, if not just get the speakers from gmpartsdirect. They are 29 now.

 

Do i have to remove the sail pannel to get at the woofers? thanks

 

No. You just pry off the speaker cover, unscrew the four screws and it comes right out. It is kind of hard to put in cause the screws go into clips that are just there. Whenever I put the speaker back in, the magnet takes the clips Takes some time but it works out lol.

 

Thanks for all your help So i should be able to find those RF's at like a best buy or sumthin right? There is a car audio place down the street from me but they are pirates..and i dont trust them...they all deal drugs outta that place.

 

Best Buy does not have em yet. I work there We are supposed to get em, but not for like another 2 weeks or so supposedly. If you need them asap, just get em online. I think, think, Circuit City has em.
