Default Need opinions on 4" speakers for the rear

I know everyone has their favs in brands and all, but I'd like to get some opinions on 4" speakers for the rear. I'm going to be making up a few panels next week, I'm thinking of trying a few different kinds. What I'd prefer - Peak watts over 100, RMS handling 40-50 - full range. I don't think components will fit due to their wide magnets.

Where are you planning on mounting them in the rear?

How much do you actually gain in terms of sound from having a 4" driver RIGHT behind the seat?

This is how much you'll gain:

Take your arm and place it over your mouth. Now speak. That is how much you gain on a 4" behind the seat.

Now if one is short and can move the seat up and away from the speaker, then one might have a slight increase in sound quality. Otherwise, the speaker is projecting into the seat and will muffle the sound.
