Yes they are - and the amp above the rear N/S wheel arch is feeble too. Been thinking about a better amp, has anyone else upgraded this?

no expert here so please allow me just to OT slightly on this, would a better amp handle higher volume better ? do amps suffer if they are cheapo when you turn up the volume regardless of the quality of the speakers ?

On the Monaro's it's in the boot, left hand side, just pull the carpet away at the side and slide your hand in between the frame work and the wheel arch, you should be able to feel it. There is a little flat wheel you can turn to turn the amp up and down
