Rear speakers - worth it?

[ralphy12345]

I've had the car re-carpeted and the rear 'air vents' are now covered over....

I've got a Pioneer DEH-P77MP feeding Infinity speakers in the door and, whilst I'm happy enough with the sound they produce, I was wondering whether a pair in the rear (ooh er, missus!) would be worth having?

So, any comments from owners who DO have rear speakers fitted would be appreciated and also which ones you have please!

TIA.

I asked for advice at a Specialist car audio centre...his advice was "if your fitting rear speakers do not fit large speakers with alot of base,you want smaller quality speakers and if you need more base use a separate single base speaker fed by a amp." I did the opposite but it was to late..

I have 4 Pioneers, all the same size (17cm?), the fronts have tweeters and the rears don't, which is generally the way it should be done.

I just have a decent Pioneer head unit without any extra amps, having played around with the fader the rears make all the difference IMO and it sounds much better than just faded to the front.

I've got 4 Pioneers in mine and it does make a big difference - although I still think it sounds a litte weak compared to a modern car audio setup.

I have the door cards out at the moment and realised how easy it would be to fit some tweeters just below the a-frame. Not sure if anyone has a 6 speaker setup? I think that's where I'm heading

Just fitted an alpine head unit , Now my rear speakers make all the differance. You go for it .
