In this video I am going to show you how to properly install a kee audio stage 3 kit in my son's Pontiac WS6 Firebird Trans Am. Kee Audio has been designing custom options for the fbody for years and has it down to a science. If you are looking to replace your factory monsoon or bose speakers in a Camaro Camaro SS Firebird Formula Trans Am WS6 or any F-body for that Manner you need to look at his website for speakers. He has put together some of the best audio or car stereo on the market for the 4th gen fbody. These cars are to the age that even if they are low miles the speakers just fall apart. It isn't a matter if but when you will have to replace the speakers. Why not upgrade to something that sounds way better. I may have to do my Trans Am WS6 at some point. Hit the Comments and let me know what you think.......

Hey travis, while you have the door panels off. Remove those top staples, drill the holes out and use zip ties to hold them together. The staples are what cause the panels to crack. Won’t let the plastic flex in weather changes. I did it to mine to prevent those infamous door cracks.

[@TWAMotorsports]

In the process currently

[@2001pontiacta]

I have a video with pictures on my channel on how to fix this as well.

[@tylerdirden3416]

ABSOLUTELY do a experimental door panel vid, every panel out there is cracked so it will be your most watched vid so make it good! On another note, do you think the baffles would do good with the CDT sail panels here, I'm afraid that filmsy rubber would reverberate. Do you think that is a non issue or not?

[@TWAMotorsports]

Its a pretty good product. I think it compliments any speakers

[@tylerdirden3416]

last question and I'll be done: I've been defeated by the hangar hooks, I'm trying not to get too aggressive obviously so I don't mar things up but the lil plastic piece in the middle of the hangar hook doesn't come all the way out right? it just releases some loosening up the plastic hook to be pulled out? Am I correct in this assumption? @@TWAMotorsports

[@TWAMotorsports]

Unfortunately it is sold now

[@markb3129]

A nice sound system is a plus in any vehicle. When I was his age the stereo and speakers were the first thing to get replaced in my vehicle! But being his age in the 70's there was a lot of awesome music to listen to on the radio and 8 track tapes. ✌🏻

[@TWAMotorsports]

Me too but now I barely listen. Lol.

[@Y2KSS]

Hey Travis, nice job on the install. I installed the same set in my 00 Camaro SS, and they were a big improvement over the stock speakers and the fitment is spot on. You could have saved yourself some time and effort by not taking off the sail panels, and instead popping off the speaker grills, unscrewing the stock speakers and dropping the new ones in. Would also recommend adding some sound deadening in between the speaker mount and the body to eliminate sub vibration.

[@TWAMotorsports]

I may do sound deadening down the road. I don't like popping out the grilles on the them. Always a chance of breaking with the age of the plastics

[@heavychevy4616]

very nice! ...ian kee from kee audio is an awesome guy to do buisness with... & cdt is "top shelf" ...head & shoulders above any of the big box store brand names... ive had my kee audio set up, a level 5, a 10 speaker kit with a 10" custom built sub/box kit as well, for several years now & as a guy whos been in the music biz for 35 years i can tell ya, its My Dream System! ...& its always good to see more f-body content, so thank u sir

Try it man....fixing the door panels. Such a shame with these cars is the door panel cracks and sometimes the dash cracks. Im as ocd as you are so id like to see how you go about trying to repair it and also them door panels are getting really pricey and that's if you can even find some perfect one's. As always great video and keep up the great content...

[@keilylmm6377]

Nice job on the speakers install.. looking peeeeeerfect 👍.. the door panel cracks on your son's Ws6 is a common issue.. my 94 TA door panels surprisingly is not cracked anywhere on each side... However they do need to be repainted again just because of the outer seatbelt rubbing into the plastic over the yrs.. as seen on my Instagram page.. I think down the road after I get mine up and running I'll have mine professionally painted with that plastic texture paint.. but for me now my motor and transmission is first priority..👍

[@jefff6884]

I miss my Firebird. I had an 02 and put a 10 inch woofer in the rear it sounded so so good hitting off that glass. No rattles at all. I had the hatch cover so even when you look inside the car you couldn't see anything. (No tints)

[@TWAMotorsports]

[@TWAMotorsports]

I think so too

[@lorieandpatrickdavies7483]

Thanks for this video, I have planned to buy the same system from Kee Audio for some time. $400-odd for that system is really reasonable. We just returned from a long road trip in our 1999 Firehawk, and I was thinking I would like to install some sound insulation in the hatch area (which seems to be where the lions share of the road noise comes from). While you have the interior and panels off, you should install some Dynamat, so you can actually hear your new speakers!

[@TWAMotorsports]

This car is sold now but sound deadening is a great idea.

[@nathanromeo7018]

Yeah I’d like to see the door panel video!

[@TWAMotorsports]

I am not sure of that. Going bad currently

[@RamblinGarage]

I have one on my channel if you're interested!

[@channingwilkes5639]

I went with NVX components in the doors. I haven’t messed with the rear seat speakers or the hatch yet. My 5 yo is in love with the car and her head is right beside those midrange speakers in the rear seat. I would like to find a way to quickly turn them on and off when she is back there. I’ll have to give Kee Audio a call for some replacements for the hatch area!

[@TWAMotorsports]

Nvx has been good in the past for me too

[@johnhanks7052]

Hey Travis. Love all the vids. So helpful. Had a question about my 00 Camaro SS. Was planning I. Speaker upgrade but while I was in there my window is a little sluggish, and most times will only go up 6” or so at a time. After a minute or two it’ll go another 6” until finally up. New actuator/motor? Wanted to see what you thought. Thanks man.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Yeah probably about time for a window motor

[@Greggvh]

Just an FYI on the fitment of the door speakers in the cradles. I swore up and down also that the speakers would not go in. Watched the video that he says they do but I think its light on showing just how to get them in. So I took that as a challenge. It really just takes some forcing them in. It does sit against and deform the back tray along with basically deforming the complete cradle. I am thinking of getting a few sets so when these explode into a million parts from stress, I have a backup set that I will cut apart and a backup set to that set. I think the way I finally got them to sit was I would screw in two opposite screws and tighten them down and then take them out and do the other set of screws. in doing this I think it started to widen the cradle. I then did two opposite screws just barley started and then pushed down one of the other sides and got a screw in. Tighten them all down and then backed them out and repeat with the other side until the cradle will let you get all four screws started and then just tighten them all and it goes in. I found though that the speakers lip seems to be larger and the whole in sits inside of the door panel is not large enough, so my door panels do not want to sit flush on the fronts.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Yeah it was a definite force. Lol

[@timothythomas1737]

I've seen the door panels repaired then wrapped in leather. Looks great.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Wrapped is probably the best option

Great video well done gents! Stupid question, do you guys recommend any good quality FM Bluetooth transmitter? Reason why is I am considering getting collector plates which will require me to keep the factory GM Delco Monsoon CD player (no cd changed) head unit on my 97 Firehawk. I got the trunk and rear speakers done, just the door speakers tweeters left. Thanks!

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. They are all about the same. I did a video on my sonoma GT with one we still use.

[@michaelmacchesney2]

Great video, but what I needed to see most wasn’t there. Did you replace the rear tweeters in the hatchback trunk area? And what did you do about the factory amp? Im being told you have to bypass it and add an aftermarket amp if you use aftermarket speakers. I have a 93 Trans Am with the 10 speaker system (pre-monsoon). Ive done car speakers before but never with amps

[@TWAMotorsports]

I didn't bypass rear tweeters. These speakers are made for factory amp which is still in place.

Yes

[@bwj3456]

I'm going to be upgrading my system in my 95 RS Camaro with the Bose system next month. Found out the hard way you can't just change the speakers and then the head unit without bypassing the amplifiers. Anyone know if the consoles from the 97 and up will fit into a 95 without tons of modifications? I don't really see why it wouldn't unless there was some dramatic different in the floor pan. I know the dash is different and hoping that's not an issue.

[@bwj3456]

Travis, do you have a part number for window felts?

[@TWAMotorsports]

I don't think it will line up with the dash correctly
