Stereo & Electronics - Removing Monsoon and amp for replacement

Has anyone done this? I already have infinity 6022si door speakers and my rear speakers just blew again. So i am just gonna pull the whole monsoon system and upgrade it.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a system that will power all 6 speakers? A decent system under $500. Doesn't have to be double din or anything fancy. I'm all for function, screw form. :lol: Preferably with bluetooth and sirius inputs.

Also the sail speakers, since i will not have to worry bout the factory Ohms crap, is there a decent speaker that will put out good bass and fit in that location w/o spacers or mods?

I found this, it has all the options i was looking for. Does it look like a decent stereo?

Sony MEX-BT2600

As far as removing the Monsoon amp goes, it could not be easier;
3(?) screw/bolts, one(?) plug and it's gone.
Now as for removing all of the other harnesses/wiring associated with it and the system, that is a little more complicated/involved.

I'm just going to re-route all the wires tuck in the stock wires just in case i need to go back to stock later on.

Yeah the amp is easy, i have taken it out before. Probably gonna sell it on here or ebay. :lol:

So right now it looks like all i need is:
Headunit - Sony MEX-BT2600
Sail panel speakers - open to recommendations
Rear hatch speakers - open to recommendations
Speaker wire - no brainer :jest:

ditch the rear hatch speakers they are pointless

i would either get components up front and move the infinitys to the back and get a decent 4 channel amp

or leave the infinitys and get either coaxials for the back or a midbass/sub for the back. Elemental designs 7kv2 comes to mind

cheap and works great... i have the previous model and it was in my boat for years and still goin strong in a buddys car now

Id skip the Sony head unit, Sony isnt too great when it comes to aftermarket car audio. Ive always went w/ Pioneer and loved them, I have some friends w/ Alpines and some w/ Kenwoods both are very good options as well. One of my buddy's even has a Kenwood that measures lateral g's and Hp!

As for speakers Pioneer, Alpine, and Infinity are all good speakers for fairly cheap.

Does Pioneer offer a fairly cheap head unit that has Sirius and Bluetooth standard? Like i stated before it is for my DD, so it doesn't have to be anything fancy, or do anything spectacular. I just want it to do it's job.

Just checked:
The $170 Sony will do just fine.
The cheapest properly optioned Pioneer is nearly twice the price. :lol:

i would go for the Pioneer 5000ub

This is the one I have. its only 165 but youll need a bluetooth adapter however much that is and its sat radio ready.
