Rear Fill: Obserations...

[MBrock4u 10+ year member]

Hey all! I have noticed this is something that we here on the forum, just don't all agree with. That's fine but here is one problem. When a new guy asks about rear fill, alot of people on here with tell him to forget rear fill, that it will praticley ruin his system. This is simply NOT the case! That leaves new people on here confused. I understand that rear fill is not for everyone, but some people on here like it. I would seem to me it would be better to try to help someone, rather than just say it will destroy your system. The truth is that most of us are not at compatition level, though some are, and yes I understand the whole concept of not having rear fill. I like what rear fill does for my paticular system in my paticular car. I try not to tell anyone that they need rear fill, because for what they are looking to do that might not be a good option for them. There are people on here with alot more knowledge than me, which is why we come here in the first place. Lets try to keep the main thing the main thing and help someone, instead of throwing them to the wolves. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

ok that's nice. next time someone asks about rearfill you tell them this. these types of threads are so retarded. i'm not a competitor and i don't use rearfill.

I dont have rear fill. If I did it would be blaring right at my left ear. Not good...

IMO, rear fill is good for 5.1 systems and nothing else. If you have a proper front stage you wont need any rear fill.

i tried rearfill once, and with my frontstage and sub, i didn't even hear or notice it, so that leads me to believe people aren't imaging right if they need rearfill

Is a 6 pack in the back deck with a 920w power acoustik amp considered rear fill?

My rear fill would be 12 feet behind me...I don't even want to think about the phase and spatial issues that would create.

I agree with iceteebone. This could certainly be the case in some instanses. There are other reasons for having rear fill. Passengers! People who ride in my car really get to enjoy my system more. Alot of people don't care about that in their car and thats fine. It all goes back to what your needs are and what you are trying to acomplish.

I personally don't have a rear fill. I also don't see why the rear passengers still can't enjoy your system. I've sat in the back to test that out and i still hear the fronts fine. the imaging was off, but it wasn't bad.

bah, its the drivers system not the people riding with him. With a well setup frontstage rearfill is barely noticable(sp?), or it completly jacks up your soundstage.

EDIT: and im far from competition status

running 4 nice amplified component in stock location(2front, 2back) is actually nice when you dont have a sub, gives a surround feeling, loud, clear, feels like in a nightclub, and thats what alot of people want in their car.

each one his own.

my backseat is always full so since that is the case I use rear deck for them. too lazy to build door pods in the rear doors
