Re: Rear Speakers or None?

Rear fill is all a matter of personal preference, A good front stage is more than enough in a 2 door car but if you want sound behind you go fir it. A true SQ install may sound boring to most people. The goal is to achieve a flat curve on a RTA ( basically the speaker produces the same level of sound output at all frequencies it is tuned to)
Do whats pleasing to your ears because for every day installs geared toward SQ its very subjective. What sounds good to you may not sound good to someone else. Another way to use a rear speaker is to fit a 6.5 and use it as a dedicated midbass. The human ear has a harder time locating a speaker producing low frequencies.

Rear fill is always required for us in SAn Francisco or Philadelphia!!!!

on a serious note, I have Dynaudio components, PPI amp, HD Headunit and 2 boxes of Tand Band subs behind the seats. It is true that after about 5 minutes of driving I can no longer tell that I don't have rear speaker. My pending instAllation of the rears is just a curiosity to determine if I do or don't have the final audio setup.

As we all say, "a personal preference."

More than rear-fill, I'd consider them for potentially better stereo sound staging is all. But with the seats there I'm not sure rears would help that anyway.
