When was the last time you went to a concert and stood the entire time with your back to the stage?

I'm glad somebody tried this! It does change the look of the car.

I don't understand your comment ... are you saying that any system where the speakers are behind the driver is undesireable?

In response to your question ... never, but that's because I want to SEE what's on stage ... there's often speakers behind me at concerts ... and if all they had on stage was a stack of speakers, I probably wouldn't face the stage at all concerts I go to ...

Have fun,
Derek

I think this setup will work, but you have to control the volume for those speakers. It will have to be less than the fronts. A fader, resistors, or separate gain should work.
It'll be like the ambience sound in the cabin!

I thought about doing this, but decided against it for several reasons:

- Too much leakage (ie, bothering other motorists at lights, etc.)
- balance, speaker behind you is too close to ears vs. other 3
- bass, I'd rather feel the it in my back vs. my head
- I might want a SCCA rollbar which could mean replacing the stocks

Probably go with Lucid's setup, seems best all around sound wise.

I have the tweeters flush mounted in the roll bars. The rear woofer es de Lucid. You have to be able to trim the rear volume separate from the front and sub. The rears overpower everything if you don't adjust them right.
