Big full range speakers in the rear

[vnzbd]

Just a little thinking out loud and looking for some feed back. Back in the late 70's and 80's it was difficult to set up any front stage in my cars. mostly Camaros at that point. I would ride with a set of quality 6x9's in the rear deck driven by a decent amp. I just recall those systems being fun.

Fast forward to today, I am considering a rear seat delete and thought about going old school again. I was thinking something like the Zen box with some of the JL 8.8" marine coax's installed. They have a reputation of playing very low and being able to go w/o a sub. I am mostly a classic rock guy so most likely no issue there. I would do cut outs with grills on the delete to pass the full range into the interior.

As far as the front I would most likely just run coax in the front doors but it would certainly be a rear dominated system.

Thoughts?

goes against convention, the front is much better for a proper sound stage, youre not going to find anyone that would feel the same way you do, but its what makes you happy

I agree... it reminds me of that saying "Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD do something"

I agree with the above. I also grew up with throwing 6x9 on the rear deck and maybe a tweeter up front. Even got crazy once with a Bazooka tube!
Those old school receivers were dinosaurs compared to the sound processing in modern audio systems.
You can probably do away with rear speakers and just add a sub if you have a good front component system. Someone here even installed 6.5 subs in the rear deck.

Are you still rocking Hair Nation on Sirius?

Old post I see but incase you think about it I did install Jlaudio 6x9’s I have to say the sound is way better than stock,focals and mephis that I had previously installed!!
