Do you agree with this??

(Rear speakers should never be allowed to operate in full range unless you are going for the THX or Dolby Digital AC-3 theater surround sound setup. If you have a separate subwoofer, band-limit the signal going to the rear speakers to approximately between 200Hz and 3kHz.

To wring out some negative side effects, the rear speakers should be in mono. Put the two speakers in series and bridge them across the amplifier.

You are going to be running it low-volume, band-limited and in mono, (it is important that you keep it low-volume, band-limited and in mono). )

I read this and thought I'd give it a try, but I would like to see what you think first.

Reason is, I drive an '03 Dakota ext. cab (previously had a '93 Dak. ext. cab) and I noticed that the rear quarters produce real nice midbass. Even with 6.5's in the doors and fully dynomatted, the rear speakers midbass was much better. So, maybe I'll give this set-up a shot if I here enough positive feed back.

here's a link to where I got the info:

Everyone has their personal preferences on this subject. Make your own decisions on what you like better.

in car audio, using rear fill is pretty pointless. there is no need for a surround effect in a car, since it will be completely negated by backgounr noises. you are better off using that money towards a better front end. keep in mind who the stereo is for, if its for you, then make your choices based on that, if its for the backseat passengers, base your choice of that.

I enjoy not having rear fill. If I were going to use rear fill, I would probably bandpass them from 60-200hz or so. That's my preference though and I'm sure other people have different views about it.

rear fill, is only for passengers, or if you ever sit back there.imo

I hate having speakers blaring right behind me. I get pissed off when I have to ride in the back seat and the driver has retarded loud mids and highs behind me.

I have a 92 dakota.

With a properly amplified set of components up front, rear fill is pointless.

I had a set speakers in the rear one time, and had them on a switch. Had a friend turn them on and off, while I closed my eyes. Couldn't hear a difference, beneficial or detrimental...

So, I say fuk em.
