I ran the base model Eclipse 6.5s in all 4 corners in my white truck on a Rockford Power 400.4 with the crossover set at 400hz and it would scream like nobody's business. I've done components up front in some trucks and cut out the rears completely and it did sound alright. There is nothing at all wrong with doing it that way, you just lose some sound that you could still have with a better speaker in the rear. I don't know why they decided to use the cruddy 4x6's anyway. oval speakers are all turds.
    You'd be amazed how much more sound quality comes out of the front speakers when you have the extra budget for them. Do you ever go to a concert and listen to the music by turning away from the band? 99% of all music is recorded in 2 channel.

    Even if you already have front speakers it would be MUCH more worth your money to buy sound deadening for the front doors with the money you were going to use for the rear speakers

    here is an idear. run the setup similar to what I had in my white Z. fully dynamatted front and rear doors, 6.5's in all 4 doors, only go the extra mile and put two sets of components in the front doors instead of one set of coax's. Now that's gangsta! I've always wanted to do one that way.
