My guess is that a lot of the sound from the rear speakers is muted because they're mounted directly behind the rear seat, which I imagine reduces sound quality. I'm in the process of doing measurements and such to rebuild the rear of my car after deleting the IMA, and the plan is to build boxes for the speakers behind the seats, raise them up some, and angle them toward the front for better sound. I'm having to build around the fuel lines behind the passenger seat, so I might as well make that area a box for the speakers, and do the same on the driver's side. I'm not particularly an audiophile, so having the "perfect" sound isn't crucial to me, but I do appreciate a good sounding system and am okay with doing little things here and there to improve the Insight's subpar stock system. I don't want any kind of sound equipment that is overly heavy or that will impede on storage space, so at this point anything additional I may add is limited to beneath the driver's and passenger's seats. The high end on these new speakers is much better than the old speakers (I actually had to turn town the treble a bit). If anything I would add a small sub beneath one of the seats to improve the bass.

Ecky, is there a write up on your build thread on how you mounted your front speakers to the door frame and sealed them?
