Are rear speakers really worth it?

[soundstream15]

I installed deadening on my rear deck and changed out the 6x9s the stock ones where so shitty! Now they sound good but I have a stock monsoon amp that is powering them, it seems to be giving them some major bass for Sony lol but when the bass hits, my subs and speakers hit at the same time, obv and it sounds like shit! Just so weird and I hate it so I'm gonna upgrade my front stage. So should I worry about the rear

You don't need rears.

Maybe tweak crossover points? I have an 06 xB and noticed a major improvement in overall sound quality (measured by ear) after replacing the factory speakers in the back. I used some cheap Polk 6.5s powered by a kicker 300.2 (that amp also runs my type-s components) and was surprised at the improvement.

I can run a 4 channel but if I don't need rears then no point?

Thanks Orionstang

I personally do not like rear speakers, they draw the stage back and create another tuning mess. I only recommend replacing factory rears (or having them at all) if it is for the passengers to enjoy.

How is there no point? More channels is never bad, run active!

I see what you saying. I can run the rear when I get a 4 channel but if I don't need them then I won't. I'll just run the front stage. I also need to upgrade those

If you plan on upgrading to separates (components) up front I highly recommend you take the money you will save on rears and invest in a nice four channel amplifier anyhow. Going from a passive crossover network to a active crossover network is one of the biggest upgrades you can afford your mids/highs besides deadening.

I wanna install 6.5s up front along with new tweeters

If that is the case and you feel up to it install them so that each driver gets its own channel (tweeters on two 6.5 mids on the other two) and use the amps built-in crossover or some outboard electronic crossovers (if the amp doesn't support the correct crossover frequencies) it will sound much better than using the included crossovers.

I think rear fill is a preference. It annoys me not to have it. But coax 6x9's are probably not the best answer.
