[QUOTE="eharri3, post: 5344437, member: 591579"] Whatever you have budgeted towards rear comps, either take 75% of it and throw it to the front and put cheap coaxials in back, or take 100% of it and put it in front. Sound is subjective and all but I'll say, I have cheap aftermarket coaxials in the rear. Even then, If I don't de tune them by a certain amount sounds get VERY directional in relation to the speakers and things start to sound like they're coming from the front and rear speakers rather than directly in front of me like a live concert. I personally don't like that. But with them at this detuned level, when I sit in the rear I still get as good of a sense of the full range of sounds as I think my rearseat passengers need to have. And yet when I'm in the driver's seat it fills in the space behind me with sound so I feel more 'enveloped' by the music. One of my big regrets that Im too cheap to fix probably until I do a setup for my next vehicle: If I hadn't been through two 4 channel amps, two head units, one set of front coaxials, and wasted 100 bucks on rear coaxials in the last 3 years Id be running really decent 800-1000 dollar front components off of 150+ watts and most likely jerking off everytime I play music in the car.
