Question about monsoon system in my 01

[5abivt]

Just picked up an 01 and the stereo sounds pretty bad. the right front speaker crackles is that a blown speaker?

Are there different versions of the monsoon system? This a stone stock barebones (cloth, no pw, pl) and it just doesnt sound very clean at all. I don't recall seeing any extra speakers or tweeters near the kick panel liek i see in some pics. My brother had a new 97 ss and his stereo sounded pretty decent for a factory system.

I'll be picking up the car tomorrow hopefully and I'll be looking for ways to make it sound good again.

probably a blown speaker. the stock speakers (even w/ the "monsoon") are junk, just taking a look at one will tell you all you need to know. i had the same thing happen, so i picked up some infinitys for the doors and the rear hatch, going to upgrade the stock subs in the sail panels here in the next few weeks. check out the stickys for this subforum, there is some good info and installation stuff, and some conversation about speakers that have worked well for people.
