Speakers
 
I need to know what the ohm and RMS is on the factory 6x9's in a 04 Monte Carlo SS ( no Bose) but I do have the factory amp.

thanks

What do you need to know for? Are you looking to replace them?

Can't say that I know the answer, but I think they're 2 ohms (that or 4) and you probably won't find an RMS rating anywhere.

I am pretty sure my 6x9's in the back are 4 Ohm.(but i have a 00 - might be diff then an 04)

Just look in your trunk at the back(bottom) of the speaker I believe it tells you there

Well I'm stuck on what to do

One of my 6x9's blew

Looking under the speaker it says 1 way 2 ohm... I don't know what to replace them with?

I've been told I can go with 4 ohm but it won't as loud sooo what do I do?

Just replace them with a nice pair of alpine type R 6x9's even if they are 4 ohm it should work just fine. it would only be quieter because the factory amp is likely tuned to run at that impedance. if its not very loud just run an aftermarket amp it'll sound way better than stock anyway.

You can look for aftermarket 2 ohm speakers if you want. I'm pretty sure there are a couple options, but not many.

Look into the infinity kappa series
I am thinking of the 63.9i for my fronts as they are 2 ohm
Im sure they probably have 6x9 2 ohm speakers as well
(haven't purchased them yet so I don't know if they are any good)

I replaced mine with a set of JL C2-690t, it was like night and day when i chagned them i would advise you to get your self a pair.

You will notice to major difference when you replace your factory 2 ohm speakers with aftermarket 4 ohm speakers:

Better SQ but less volume.

You can fix that though by upgrading your head unit to aftermarket too. Or just get 2 ohm speakers. But I promise you will be much happier with aftermarket deck and speakers than you would stock deck and aftermarket speakers, no matter what impedance they are.

I agree with Monte793..i also replaced my speakers with JL C2s and they sound like a live band playing inside your car
