Looking to replace the rear deck speakers in a 2001 Grand AM GT. Has the stock Monsoon system in it and the rear speakers are shot.
From what I have seen you need to bypass the factory amp for aftermarket speakers to work? The stock system has four inputs (2+ 2-) for the woofer and tweeter. The aftermarket setups have just 2 inputs (1+ 1-).
Is there a way to make this work without bypassing the stock amp? Perhaps separating the aftermarket speakers from each other to make 4 inputs? Obviously cutting and splicing would void the warranty.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In case this helps, looking at Sony Xplod gt1627a on crutchfield ( a pair they said would work, but would have to replace the factory radio ... ? )
