Thread: Monsoon Center Channel Question

I did some looking around, so apologies if this is easily found and I just missed it.

I just obtained a 2004 Comp G with the Monsoon system. It has the center channel, which is fortuitous because I run a 5.1 channel 2-din unit that I play DTS/Dolby 5.1 discrete music on. I need to know if the Monsoon system will allow me to run the amp outputs directly to the speakers (if I need to put new speakers in that's OK, I realize they may be a different impedance) or directly to the amp (as the Bose system in my '02 does) to interface with? From what I'm reading, the Monsoon treats each channel seperately. Am I able to run wires to these?

I have hooked up my HU, and found the two wires from the Monsoon unit that go to the center channel. I guess my question is: does the Monsoon amp process the signal and filter out things from the L/R channel and then send them to the center? Or does it take the L/R signal and then create a center from them without taking away from the front L/R channels? I need to know if I need to bypass the front L/R through the Monsoon amp, which if true means I then have to fool with the seperate tweeter signal.

I bought a pair of these on eBay for $40 and sold one to another guy with Monsoon. I think they sound great. Definitely get more sound and can actually single out the dash speaker.
