[QUOTE="WeeHooker, post: 4345773, member: 577797"] I think you can do OK in the quality and price range you are shopping if you shop smart ( and watch specs). Rears are less important than front anyway. First, if you like the kappa's , why not a set of 5x7 Kappa Coaxials for the rear ?( that way the amp is doing 2 ohm on both channels.)
