[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 6890202, member: 576029"] most people who understand and appreciate music - don't run rear speakers. i have a sound stage - laid out across my dash. people liken it to a live performance, but better. even if you have an SPL sub stage - you don't need crap behind you - just make the front stage louder. in a sedan/trunk setup - rear speakers are destroyed by subs and they result in less bass in the cabin. so if you want SPL why would you want to reduce the bass in the cabin by putting something in it's way? if you listen to music and like music - why do you want it to sound like crap. rear speakers are fine when you don't have a sub as most can produce low end better than door speakers (though i can put in 6.5" door speakers that do more than a 6x9 ever could in the rear deck). the automobile is the only platform where people put full range speakers behind them that are not dedicated for surround sound. your ears can't discern information behind your head anyway. the only purpose for rear speakers is for rear passengers - and they should be in the rear doors. NO ONE likes having one speaker blaring inches from their head. rear deck speakers are only intended as factory low end - which is why new cars just have 6x9 woofers in the back and no tweeters.
