So I picked up a set of these from a local audio shop:
View attachment 12059
They installed them for me, but due to the monsoon amp, they were unable to get the low range to come out of the speakers... sounds like crap, anyone know how to wire them properly?

I believe the output on the Monsoon amp for the mids is full-range so one of them might be out of phase if you are missing bass. Reverse the wires on one and see if it helps.

So got the shop to try this... It didn't work... OEM's are back in for now :(

Hmm, those Hertz 6x9's should play bass fairly well, though the stockers are tuned to have robust output right around 40-60hz with an extremely high QTS of probably over 1.0. Ideal door speakers will be between .4-.7. The Hertz at .62 should do well and be very accurate compared to the high output, low accuracy stock 6x9's. Wish I was local so I could take a look.

how are you guys mounting aftermarket tweeters?

My CSS LD25X tweeters fit snugly in place of the OEM tweeters in the A-pillars though I am pretty sure the OEM hardware and thick grill are causing bad reflections in the upper midrange/lower treble region. Will probably dremel away the grill material and flush mount them. Soundstage is great though, the distant flat dash with a flat reflective windshield seems to do well for imaging.
