Speakers in rear important in this build?

[Karkov]

Hey all, At this point in time I am keeping my substage to behind my second set of seats. That being said of course I will be riding with people in second row of seats prolly less than 25% of the time. I got kick panels for 6.5 " component set, my front 2 doors factory house 6.5" so i can easily add a component set up there as well. The rear 2 doors each have a 6.5" in them as well from factory so it would be really easy again to just add another set in them as well. What I am wondering is how important would it be to have a component set in the rear passengers doors for me as the driver to listen to? Are a lot of you out there doing it? Keep in mind there will be no sound behind the very front 2 seats without adding something to those doors and I have the amp power to add some more component sets to my build. I am just wondering if it's worth it to put speakers back there in those doors?

At this point in time I am thinking a T3 RF component set in each pair of doors (so a 6.5" and 1" tweeter in each door) and then RF T5 in the front kick panels, and then i need to fit one more component set somewhere that will actually sound goo to the driver. This vehicle had no speakers in front dash or center console so.......oh, and I'm not adding speakers to the D-pillars, lol. Suggestions?

will there be people in the back seat?
if not put is all up front

Originally i was planning on putting it all up front but i thought since the 6.5" would fit right into the door it might be worth asking. People in back seat yes occasionally, not enough to concern myself with them though. I am planning on keeping this build as close to stock looking as possible. As in most front speakers hidden (minus the kick panels) and the sub-stage sits below the back seat. These vehicle come factory with flush mounted screens in some so that won't look out of place. Should be as very simple and basic looking yet Great sounding install. ANYWAYS, back to the point. Audibly is it worth while for the driver to have aftermarket speakers in the rear doors? I am trying to be able to utilize the whole inside of the vehicle minus storage in back once it's complete. With that being said just seems a miss to only have speakers in the way up front. However the rear doors i can see how they wouldn't really help as far as keeping up with the sub-stage.

More thoughts? Opinions? Harsh comments, lol?

Is it worth my time and money as driver to put speakers in rear doors?

As a driver I only noticed my rear speakers when I didn't have a subwoofer.

As soon as I got my woofer in I took my rear speakers out because it was just more rattles.

Mine was a rear deck, yours sounds like doors.

Spend your money on the front stage. I cut mine out long ago and won't be going back

Gotcha, thanks for all the input guys.

You would save yourself about a grand by not putting rear speakers in. Rear fill or no rear fill is always tough to decide on. I did and as good as it sounds it was money I could have put into the front stage. All a personal choice but considerate carefully. Sounds like it will be a great set up which ever way you go. Good luck

Thanks, seeming like I will only do front stage and call it good.

Thanks everyone for the responses.

I have rear speakers, and only because I ride with people in the back a good amount of the time. Now when in driving solo or just the front passenger, I actually mute the rear channel.
