6/9s and oval speakers are a poor speaker design in general. Thats why most of us run 6.5s. If you read down a ways on the link I posted, ryan does a pretty good job explaining it in more detail.

it's all in my profile. no need to repeat it.

You say you are "planning" - before you put a plan together, read this first:

You might just reconsider having any speakers in the rear at all.
(nice side benefits too - more money to spend on good speakers, more bass in car, fewer rattles, less distortion )

How many high-end home stereo systems do you see with more than two speakers? You got it - zero.
Music is recorded in two channel stereo - you can only play it back in two channel stereo - and as soon as you introduce multiple sets of speakers all playing the same thing from different distances from your ears, phasing anomolies start to wreak havoc with your imaging and SQ.

Anyway - check out the link.

our faq section has a thread on rear fill as well.

you may also note that my car is set up for SQ, and has only 1 sub and a front stage.
that doesn't mean it can't get uncomfortably loud.

that reminds me I need a new spork to poke geolemon with about that fifteen.

Plastic ones don't last that long. Here, have a metal one. :)
