[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 4771676, member: 561023"] As there is no mechanism for discerning the OP's listening preferences or ultimate system goals given the currently available information I'll have to politely disagree with you. I'm no "newb" to aftermarket car audio by any means - my experience dates back to the days when having an auto-reverse cassette transport was the "[B][I]it[/I][/B]" thing at the time. I understand the logic and reasoning behind why someone would ditch rear speakers altogether excepting a substage (since it is typically located behind the listening position in most every vehicle in existence). I have heard/read the arguments time and time and time again. [COLOR=Red][B]My[/B][/COLOR] listening preferences call for a different approach so it isn't a theory I subscribe to. I prefer having rear fill. I prefer to have rear fill that is something more than just speakers thrown back there to produce audible noise ~ to the extent that I run components in the rear as well as the front. Do I think that's the best course for everyone? Certainly not. Consequently I do not tell anyone that my way is the best way. It's [B][I]my[/I][/B] preference, it's [B][I]my[/I][/B] car, and it's [B][I]my[/I][/B] way of doing things. Obviously there [I]are[/I] people who still run rear fill of one sort or another as there are queries about the subject popping up at not infrequent intervals. What I tire of are the automatic responses of "Don't bother,", "Rear fill is a waste," or "You're better off not running rears at all." When I see unqualified statements such as the one I emphasized from ENDER_XVICM's above post it immediately angers me. No explanation as to why that statement was made? The OP is supposed to simply accept that as a given and go on about his business? Not on my watch, friend. And [B]yes[/B], it was then and remains nothing more than opinion. What's best for [B]you[/B] is not necessarily what is best for everyone else. The bottom-line goal for [B]you[/B] with [B]your[/B] equipment may not be the same bottom-line goal as the next guy or gal in line. [B][I]I[/I][/B] prefer rear fill. I like the way it sounds. I [I]do not[/I] tell anyone [B]ever[/B] that they [I]should[/I] run rear fill. Certainly I do not tell anyone they [I]should[/I] run amplified components for rear fill. On the flipside of that same coin I do not believe it's called for to immediately advocate ditching rears completely to anyone and everyone that inquires about what they should run for rear fill (which unfortunately is generally what ends up happening more often than not) /rant [/QUOTE]
