Rear speakers are not a waste! They add quite a bit of additional volume in the car plus when you play DVD audio disks you get full surround sound. Very Cool!!

Plus I like rear fill but its not for everybody.

Just make sure you cross them over high. They wont take much bass. I run my rears from my headunit and it crosses them at 250Hz

I noticed with the factory base radio, when you set the fader to the rear that there is no sound. Does that mean that there is no "rear" speakers hooked up to the deck? Is there wires from the factory deck to the speakers location behind the seats? If yes, I am thinking about putting 3.5" speakers there.

The base radio has 4 channel output but there is no wiring for rear speakers and/or speakers, only for the front ones.

A nice surprise when you pull the trim out and find no speaker to replace...

I started at crutchfield cuz they could tell me what would fit. Did Focal Access 130 A1 components.(5 1/4") Sounds way better than stock speakers.
Cut the cones out of the stock speakers and used em to mount the new ones. Same with the tweeters. As for the rears I havent done those yet.
