Rear-fill Suggestions

I'm using part of my tax return to upgrade the system in my car (a 3-door coupe). For the front speakers, I'm putting in either Infinity Kappa Perfect 6.1 components or JBL C608 GTI components. These will be run by an Alpine V12 Expert amp. I will also have a mono sub amp running either one Kappa Perfect 12" sub or two Alpine Type R 10" subs.

My question is what should I do about rear fill? Do I need speakers in the rear, or would the components alone with the sub(s) sound better? If I put anything in the rear, I just want a pair of midbass drivers, and am open to suggestions as to which to buy (~$75-100). I can get a pair of MB Quarts for $85. I have also seen some Kicker, CDT, and MA Audio in that price range.

Maybe what I should do is wait until I get the front components and everything installed and see how it sounds, and then decide about midbass drivers. What are your thoughts?

skip rear fill, instead get a better set of front components with the extra money from the rear fill speakers.

What components would you recommend for $250-300?

focal is known for being a "bright" speaker, however some people like that...

I won't be running any rear fill. I will have one or two 10" Alpine Type R subs for bass.

Yeah, I already have them from my last system. I was going to get some Infinity Kappa Perfects this time around, but now I'm probably spending my entire budget on just the components, so they'll have to wait.

Well, my budget may have just come down by $150 or so.

What about MB Quart QSD 216 components?

yes. I like Beyma. Reason I ask is I never heard of the "Beyma Experience 6 comps" Just RFK (entry) line and the SC line, and the separates.
But I just checked out the site. Nice looking components. They are the new 08 line up. Very nice. Any ideas on the price of those? Google has nothing...yet.

Okay, I think I have it narrowed down to either MB Quart QSD 216 ($350 shipped) or Boston Acoustics Pro60 ($300 shipped).

Between the two, which would you pick?

X2 on the Boston. Nice comps. I like how they sound so crisp and brite. Did you go to a car shop and listen to any? or just picking from recommandations and specs?
