I don't know what kind of systems you see, but I definitely don't see a lot of systems with two sets of components. I hope you're not referring to components in the back of the vehicle rather than coaxials...

My point is their are definitely reasons to use multiple component sets. Its driven by budget and expectations. Its tougher and tougher these days to do the simple 4Ohm drivers in front and the 3DB down 8 ohms in the rear as most companies do not offer these configurations.

I don't personally know anyone who prefers a majority of the sound coming from the rear of the car. If you have a multimedia setup, then yes, I can understand putting some decent rearfill in the back; however, I would severely attentuate the rear speakers when playing any music. The soundstage should be as close to head level and in the area in front of the front driver/passanger's faces. Having a loud rearfill will pullthe soundstage back to an undesirable location. Installing good components in the back will cost money that could have been spent on install or better equipment....

Sold all the MBQ (160.03 - 2 sets, 218.03's - 2 sets, 130.03 - 1 set, 130.02 - 1 set, HX25 - 1set) for the Dyns. Thank goodness for MBQ advertising and "image brand", otherwise they wouldn't have sold like hotcakes!

And I've heard of one case where a Pontiac Firebird was still using the stock paper speakers (6x9) for rear fill. It did the job nicely for her install too!

"I am a firm beleiver in a sound stage with only rear fill"
Is that a typo?

Doesn't Richard Clark do that? I guess it's preference,but I would concentrate on frontstage significantly moreso than rearfill.
