what size are the rear speakers

Mike · 04-20-2010, 09:30 PM

they are like 3.5" and if you add a pair, they do absolutely nothing. I have always sworn by rear speakers, but with what we have to work with, the others are right, leave them out and just upgrade the fronts.

I put in a set of JL Audio CS350's and they fit perfectly. I run them off of the rear channels of my head unit and crossed over very high so they dont distort. They don't make a huge difference, its subtle but I feel they add a bit of re-inforcement without disrupting my front stage. Again, its subtle but thats the point of rear fill.

I have turned them on and off during numerous tests and I still keep going back to turning them on because I feel my sound system sounds more balanced. It might just be my imagination but I swear they help blend that sub in the back a bit making it even less localized.

thank you for all your support, i was also wondering how hard it is to take apart the pannels to get to the rear speaker inclosure. right now im still not comfortable in taking my doors and rear panels apart but would like to set up a decent sound system in the future. such a beautiful car but very mediocre sound. im trying to plan out my upgrade slowly so im trying to gather up as much information as i can. thank you once again for all your help.
