rear speakers are a cash cow for stereo shops... not needed, but they double the profits.


the speakers you were looking at however didn't appear to be a fullrange option... they would leave you missing the highs.

This is not true. YOU may find rear speakers to be a waste, but some of use like our passengers in the back to hear it too. Not all of us are competition guys or only install audio based on the driver's seat.

Rear speakers also add a great dimension to your sound so that it fills the car instead of shooting forth from one direction.

To answer the rear speaker question, 6.5 can be used in the back. actually, with some slight cutting for mounting the rear speaker locations have enough depth for a set of 8" inch subs if you are so inclined. However, for what your goals seem to be, a pair in the front and a pair in the back is a great budget investment, and 6.5 will do just fine. I would opt for 3 way speakers so as to get a fuller range from your budget.
