Good rears to compliment frontstage

[ChrisUlrich 10+ year member]

I have the Esotec 342s up front (3 way with the 7" mid range woofer). Powered by a Tru S500.

I really like the way audio sounds with rears. So I want to hook rears up to my AVX5000 head unit. Any suggestions on what will not completely destroy my clarity?

I always run rears too. I like surround sound. And if 1 single person says, "Does the music come from behind you at a concert??" I have a prerecorded response for you, YES. Every concert I've been to, there are rear speakers.

hahahaha I agree. I do like my surround sound. I just need some good advice on quality rears and how worth it it'll be using the AVX5000 (Tru SSLD6 line driver as well) to power the speakers.

Any suggestions or advice is appreciated

im thinkin if you must you couldrun an 8" midbass that would blend well with the front stage

None for rears I use to want rears but now after listening to fronts for a few weeks. I now know that it sounds so much better than with rears.

If your frontstage is set up CORRECTLY you do not need rear fill....even for passengers in the back.

truth be told......

All rear fill does is mess with the imaging and T/A of your front stage (well to me at least) In my Silverado you cant even tell that I am missing rear fill.

Surround Sound?

Put that Dolby in it.

It's setup correctly. It was professionally installed by 6spdcoupe.

I don't care what anyone says. You can tell there is no rear speakers in a car even when they are setup correctly. I've heard Dons' car and his system is ridiculous. It sounds amazing. But I can tell there is no rears in the thing.

I love my front stage. It sounds awesome. But I really like the sound of some front speakers turning off while some of the rears turn up for certain parts. A 4 way system is a different sound in my opinion.

And as for a preference on the rear speakers. I want anything that is not going to completely hurt the front stage. If I gotat spend some money for them, I will. I don't want to skimp out on a good set of rear speakers.
