Pontiac is gone, but its memory lives on in the Firebirds burning rubber at stoplights, the GTOs selling for crazy money during televised car auctions, and, yes, in the G6s that you see tooling around town every day.

Once you’re in, you’ll find either a 6-1/2″ or 6-3/4″ woofer at the base of the door and a set of tweeters up high. A set of aftermarket component speakers would be ideal for any G6 model.
