I kept the Monsoon amp and use it for the chimes. The side benefit is that I got to keep the dash speaker, which raises the front sound stage a bit. I also left the front door tweeters in the system.

I believe the Monsoon system is OK for most people who keep the OEM sound system intact. If you're going to upgrade any part of the OEM game, the amp will eventually have to go.
