[QUOTE="///M5, post: 2477576, member: 562975"] I couldn't disagree more. What I see is a lot of people recommending rear fill to add volume and give perceived surround sound. The truth is that more than 99% of these people have never sat in a truly well tuned front stage only vehicle. They all have rear fill and like it, but have never compared the two. Part of the problem with any advice over the internet is that everyone regurgitates some crap that someone else has told them, I think that is complete BS. I don't think this is even subjective...at least not to a mildly educated listener. How many high end home audio stores have you been to where they recommend running four speakers for playing back 2 channel audio? It NEVER happens yet in the car audio world everyday someone has to push this belief on other people. The real answer is to spend sometime in your car insuring that you have done the most to maximize your staging and response. I do agree that you should do whatever makes you happy, but when the basis of a statement is that it sounds better with rear fill it is just wrong. I will stand by my previous statement and say that a car has an install problem if 2 channel audio sounds better with added rear fill. [/QUOTE]
