Im glad i dont have to make this a consideration and spend countless hours with trial and error experiments to tune my preference!!

But then again,

in my car that i keep in Sweden (netherlands for the moment) i have eliminated almost all rear fill as i found that it decreased my overall sq. BUT.. i have front and rear running off the head unit and no capabilities to finely tune the sound.

Regardless of how the sound engineer places the instruments left to right the fact remains that they are placed left to right and the system should reproduce that left to right placement.

My point, long and short, is that having rear speakers is not going to improve the fidelity of the system and it may hurt it. The title of the thread is "Why don't people use rear fill?" That is the answer. There is nothing to be gained in the way of fidelity by having it. Thus I don't have it. I'm not saying you shouldn't run rear speakers if you want to. I don't give a crap what you do in your system, I don't have to listen to it.

I currently plan on having rear fill because #1 I have a lincoln town car which is a big car and #2 I care about my rear passengers. Would front speakers with like 60rms a piece be heard loud enuf in the rear with alot of bas....?
