Besides people on the back are left out without some kind of rear fill. |

But I think it's good for people to be aware that rear speakers are not always mandatory (and in some cases not even desirable). I admit, I'm running a Dolby Pro Logic system in my car at the moment, which effectively makes the rear speakers into midbass drivers with the occasional echo effect like you'd encounter in a concert hall. In my car/system before that, I even had two 8" woofers under the front seats acting as midbass drivers to get that extra kick out of tom toms etc. Of course by having well-built kick pods or even front door enclosures for the front speakers mostly eliminates poor midbass performance (such is the case with my current system--I have 3-way dynaudio fronts with 8" woofers) Additionally, I never had passengers complain about lacking rear speakers in my previous system. In fact often they were surprised to know I was only running fronts. This probably has more to do with the type of vehicle than anything. |
