i need to replace my front radio speakers. i have the monsoon system. what after market speakers will work ? there seems to be an issue with the ohms being different. i really dont want to replace the whole system. i like the sound. also need a magazine for the 12 disc changer. anyone know where i can get one ?

Don't fuck with the highs wires.....

how do i tell the difference between the mid wires and the high ?

The 62.7 is the easiest upgrade and sounds great. As with any speaker in any car, you will install them the same way. Cut the factory wires off the stock speakers and connect the new 62.7i's weather it be solder, a crimp on connector or electrical tape. Just make sure you connect the correct set of wires. Skip the supplied crossover with the 62.7is and should be a easy hookup. The door panel is the hardest part of it. I bought mine off ebay, local they cost around $160 and on ebay I had them in 3 days and was only $90. No speaker will have the exact same connectors as the stock ones, unless they are stock.
