I just bought a '00 Accord coupe. I have MB Quart RSD 216 6.5 components for the front speakers. I need to buy a set of 6x9 for the rear deck. How important are the rear speakers? Can I get away with an MB Quart Discus series (low end) or do I need to no match the front with the reference series? I don't plan on thumping loud, I just want nice clear loud sound. I plan on using 1 10" woofer for bass, probably going to go with one from JL. Any recommendations from the JL series? I have an new (in a box) older punch 200 amp that will run the 10".

 

I had a similar setup in my last car. If you you car about the sound primarily from the driver's seat you should be fine.

You're not buying your MB Quarts at retail are you? You can get the RSC216s for $180 and the Discus 6.5s for $105. I don't believe MB Quart makes 6x9s though, does it? I've always been a fan of round speakers myself in any case.

Yup Yup...MB Quart makes 6x9s. Any decent 100 dollar 6x9 will do you fine for rear fill.

 

I decided to not install any rear 6x9 speakers afterall. To my surprise, it sounds really good without them. I thought it would sound empty, but no it sounds cool. I toned down the tweeters to -3db on the crossovers, they were too loud.
