Not 100% sure on the 04+ GPs but I know on the 03's and below they had two speakers in the rear deck on each side. I have not really looked at the rear desk speakers in any 40+ to know if they carry the same setup as the 03's and below do.

Just a thought.

it should be at least 2 6x9's and 2 4x6's in the rear deck, as far as I know there are no subs that come with the monsoon package.

wasn't the "sub" an option (and it seems like it was a 6 incher anyway) I could have sworn I saw a couple monsoon cars with them (although they may not have been gp's)

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I thought it would be silly for me to start something new with a similar question - I'm trying to figure out if I've got the Monsoon, or normal audio setup in my rig. It's an '06 GP and as far as I know, it's base model so far as the audio goes. The only reason I have to question this is that the Crutchfield adviser isn't totally clear to me.

As far as I can tell, I've got two 6x9s in the back, and two speakers in each of the front doors (probably a 6.75 and a much smaller tweeter). I'm attaching a shot of the passenger side front door - can anyone tell me if this is the base system, and what the speaker sizes are?

Wonderful, and thank you for the quick reply. So it's a 2" and a 6.5" I'll have to double check, but I'm almost positive the Infinity gear I pulled out of my old rig will fit. I take it that this is the standard, non-monsoon audio system?
