I once listened to a Krell home system with Wilson Watt Puppies (just two speakers) and the soundstage it presented was incredible.
In my car I could give a rats a$$. I like rear speakers too. Just give me music and make it loud and fill the car please.
and on that note, I agree that rear speakers will distort the systems soundstage, as left and right are no longer clearly defined. Its just that I don't care but I can understand why some people do.

I find that rear speakers at the correct level can add a level of depth to the soundstage, if you don't have volume control over the rear channels then it will totally mess up the soundstage. I find if tuned correctly rear fill can add to the soundstage, not take away from it. But like everything else its all subjective anyway, I say rear fill others say no rear fill who cares.
Whatever a person wants they should do, what I will say though is if you have the rear apart on the Z anyway. Why not throw in the $40 change the rears, then turn them off you want. But if you ever want to turn them on for any reason, the speakers are only a button away instead of having to rip the Z apart again to do it later.
It seems like some people around here have read a few two many stereo magazines, and then try to convert everyone else to see their POV. Well I got 30+ years of listening experience that says I LIKE REAR FILL in a car system!
