Welcome to the forum and congrats on your order. Monsoon system sounds great but I will let someone else describe it better since I don't have mine yet.

Hey there. XM will not work in Eurpoe. XM has 2 geosynchronous sats over the US, which means they are always focused over the US. B/C of this Mexico and Canada can sometimes get service, just depends where you are.

I hate to be the party crasher but i will tell you something..Monsoon sounds perfect and everything but the subwoofers are made out of paper..They will eventually blow, and you cant go get new subs because the amp is in the head unit and it is wired where u can only buy monsoon speakers. They will last for a year, trust me ive been throough like 4 already on my last car.

Slightly off topic...

We used to live in Gelnhausen, a small town to the northeast of Frankfurt and Hanau. We traveled through Kiel on our way to Sweeden. I remember that it was a very pretty city. I look forward to getting back to that area again someday.

Like I said, way off topic. Enjoy the H3.

How it sounds is personal, I like it, and it for me it has plenty of bass and clarity of high signals.
As for speaker replacement, all speakers are replaceable with aftermarket speakers, except for the rear, which is not subjected to weather problems.
The rear speaker is replaced as a box, but it is not required to purchase the amplifier, it is serviced separately.

As for satellite radio, can you get Worldspace satellite in Germany? If so, you might be able to switch out the XM receiver box for a worldspace receiver. They operated quite similarly, especially since Worldspace is one of the owners of XM, and they have co-developed many of the units used by each system.

What kind of music and how loud do ya play it??? Have you got the bass cranked? There's nothing intrinsically wrong with paper cones if well-made. Anyway, the H3 warranty ought to cover the subs if there is any problem.

I didn't want the Monsoon system...until I heard it. Its much better than the systems in a lot of high-end cars.

LMAO!!!!!!

I just blew my first one And like I posted above, the sound engineer at the Hummer dealer said I shouldn't be listening to it that loud and that wouldn't happen
I luv the system, sounds awesome, but like they say, the speakers tend to blow if your not careful.

Did I say that correctly?

The system is nice! What type of systems/cars are you playing/ driving? that will really determine on if it is nice to you or not.
Congrats on the H3.

[bender]

how can you only buy monsoon speakers? if you have a positive/negative wire from the HU then any speaker will receive power from the HU. i can foresee problems with changing a HU with a monsoon system but not speakers. a speaker is a speaker. oh, and paper cones are fine. you can run a high-end system with paper cones and it can sound amazing. sh!t, vinyl (old technology) can sound better than digitial music. analog recording has more warmth than 10100011001 digitized sound.
