So where's the OEM stereo FAQ?

We lost it when the old LS1.com site went belly up. What do you need to know?

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Guess that's why I'm a "junior member" with 2 posts. I actually joined in '98.

I was just looking for speaker sizes, etc. for my 98 TA (monsoon).

The woofers in the doors and B-pillars are oversized 6-1/2" speakers. Also called 6-3/4" speakers. The tweeters in the door and hatch area are 1/2" domes. There is also a pair of 4" mids in the hatch area.

Hey I just purchased a set of Rocksford Fosgates (cheap speaker upgrade till I can go pro audio and add amps and such), front and back. They sound awesome!! And for just $450 for all six!! Esp. compared to my old ten year Sony Explodes :jerkit:. They were good back then, but are now blown and are just junk.

Soooo... to get to my question... As I was shopping for speakers, I also was looking at tweaters... How would one go about removing the tweater from the door and installing a new one? And have it look ok. I took a look at the back of my T/A door panel and it is "really" in the plastic. I could "cut it out", but how would I mount the new one? Do they come with the parts I need to mount it like the regular speakers do?

Let me know Rascal!

Thanks, Rob.

I mounted my tweeters in the factroy locations ('99 Trans Am) with the hardware that came with them.

I also made my own baffles for moutning the mid-woofers.

Niiice! Is that tweater Alpine? I'll have to try that out next pay check.

BTW, When I took my door apart (when installing the RFs) I noticed there is a second wire running with my old speakers (didn't see it when I first replaced the speakers in the door), I'm guessing this is the tweater wire :dunno:.

I currently have them spliced with the speakers (as people have said to do, since I own a Camaro). Does anyone know where to get the GM plug for that, to easily remove them and install? If I get the new tweaters, I would kinda like it to look more pro or like factory and have them easier to remove and replace. I don't care to go to a junkyard for something so small, if I don't have to. Prefer to get that on the net if possible. And if I can get that, I need the driver side power window plug as well:D.
