Help choosing rear speakers

[Lucas 10+ year member]

I am looking into adding 4 rear speakers but for now just 2. I just got my Alpine CDA-9887 and got it installed. I will in the future add amplifiers and what not. Any recommendations on the rear speakers? I was thinking on getting something like:

I have my rear stage off. and just run a front set of components off of 200 watts and im totally happy

Will I be fine if I run the component 6x9 through my head unit until I get amplifiers?

why waste your money on component 6x9's in the first place. Why even put 4 speakers in the rear.

Waste of money.

the rev's will be fine using deck power. Mine are. But they sing with about 100 watts of CLEAN power.

well from what i was told run comps upfront and if you do rears only do coaxs not comps

something to do with imaging

Why is it a waste of money? What, should I not put speakers on the rear? I don't see why it would be a waste of money, I don't understand your point of view.

Don't put 6x9 components in the rear, go for coaxils. If you want rear speakers, go with 2, not four, because it is a waste of money.

it wrecks the imaging of your system. a lot of people like their stereo to sound like it is coming from in front of them so it is similar to being at a concert with the guitars coming from the right and left as they should be.

correct me if i'm wrong?

no rear fill FTW! just run a good front stage with a bunch of power and you'll be fine.

Why are you saying component 6x9's??? Both the ones that he showed were coaxial...

i would leave the rears out and upgrade the frontstage.

Just spend the money on a better amp or componnets for your front speakers, or spend the money on dynamt for your front doors, forget rear fill, it like going to a concert and sitting facing away from the stage.

You could save money and get those pg rsd 6.5" they are like less than $100 and get rave reviws, just throw them in with some 6.5" adapter for the 6x9" holes.

And to answer your question the Alpines are the better product in my opinion.
