    I'm not sure what personal experience you've had with sony's but every friends' car thats had sony's has sounded horrible.

    IMHO Kenwoods are higher quality.

    I know the reasoning behind people wanting rear speakers... needing more volume and, possibly, more separation of midbass and treble from the rear. I can tell you this... if you have a nice, quality front audio setup, tuned and facing the driver as much as possible, there really is no need for rear speakers (other than maybe a sub for extra bass, if you wanna!). In a perfect world, you would be able to aim the front mids and tweets how ever you wanted... finally aiming them in a spot that would sound great to front and rear passengers. In the stock setup you can get pretty close and still not need to mod the rear speaker brackets or frame for a larger speaker setup. I know... I effed up the brackets originally by putting in 5.25" speakers, then 6x9's... I thought I had blown them (Infinity Reference) and left them in for a long time... finally removing them, improving the quality of my front setup, and it made a HUGE difference!

    I have yet to have any problems with Sony Xpolds. But the kenwoods that are in the rear must have been made in the early 90 cuz they a made of paper.

    By the way guys I think the stock speaker work the best (They are clarions by the way)
    I changed the front to Audiobahns 6.5 and I have to say the Audiobahn sound horrible . In my opinion get a better 5.25 and add a sub (my 2 cents)

    james, if you want some really good speakers for the front try some MB QUART's . in my opinion they are some of the best sounding speakers out there.did you get the sub installed yet? shawn

    I've got an old school Orion setup in mine - HCCA 6-1/2" Separates in the front and 2 XTR Pro subs in the back. I personally have always loved the sound of the classic Orion amps and drivers. Stay away from the new stuff though - they suck. You can still buy a lot of brand new Orion equipment off eBay, and IMO they sound better than just about anything else out there.
