[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8706394, member: 679555"] Exactly, these are where the focus should be. I've run speakers in the rear deck, never rear doors in any of my vehicles but I can tell you in my current car there's no bass from the back and I never noticed with a subwoofer. My previous car I would have greatly missed the rear speakers, but that was only because of the inadequacies of my front door speakers. In my opinion the front doors are the most important ones to get right and the largest part of making them sound as good as they can be (and taking advantage of an upgrade) is to add sound deadening. The pillars tweeter thing is also important for overall sound quality because ideally for highs you'll have an unimpeded pathway from your ear to the tweeter that's as far away as possible. The 2 spots that work the best are the pillars on the sides of the windshield or in the very corner of the front door windows. If the car offers no custom panels to make that possible then the next best thing is to get good speakers in the front doors, tweeters will be wasted facing the ceiling in the rear. If I was going to add anything back there it would be 6x9" or 7/8" woofers and ideally they'd have built-in boxes underneath them. [/QUOTE]
