only thing about Monte's is that they dont have factory tweeters in the A pillars, so you'll have to cut holes into your interior

 

^ You don't have to put the tweeters in the A-pillars if you don't want to. I've been perfectly happy with them in the factory locations.

 

in my Monte Carlo i did a 6.5 JL audio component set up it was about 160 on ebay and it sounds great

 

I was told by Crutchfield that the Monte Carlo 07 has 4 ohm speakers and that after market speakers are 4 ohm. Is that true?

 

I was told by Crutchfield that the Monte Carlo 07 has 4 ohm speakers and that after market speakers are 4 ohm. Is that true? They also said component requires much more power.

 

That is true, in my 2007 Monte Carlo. The speakers are 4 ohms. Not all after-market speakers are 4 ohms. But basically, if you are retaining the original amplifier system, any speaker 4-16 ohms will work, without damage. If the two speakers are different ohms, the result will be one being louder. This is due to the fact that maximum power transfer happens when the speaker is properly matched (ohms-wise) to the amplifier's designed output.
If you parallel two 4-ohm speakers, that gives you a 2-ohm load to the amplifier. In that case, you run the risk of damaging the amplifier. Alway try to match to the original. And, certainly try to keep from putting too much load on the amplifier, (smaller ohms...), less you kill it..... That 2-ohm load will not produce more watts from the amplifier!!!! But, it could produce problems.....

 

It has been well over ten days... Why can I not post any pictures?

 

you need to upload em you Photobucket.com or tinypic.com then copy the IMG link and post the link here

 

where are the clips at? and how hard are they to pop off?

 

I ordered some 6 and 1/2 door speakers from Crutchfield. The speaker did not fit with or without the adapter bracket they sent. I was expecting an easy installation, but ended up returning the speakers. I am going to head to the dealer and just use a factory replacement. I really had high hopes for installing new aftermarkets, but could not get it to work.
