they wont work back there. if youre talking about the back seat side panel, then those are actually subwoofers. the wiring to those speakers is only low frequency and you will only get bass out of those speakers.

if youre just looking to get a little bit better sound get a pair of 6.5" components and replace the front stock set. i did that and im happy with the results...well for awhile i was now im upgrading the whole system and using a monster amp.

I put 4 pioneer 6.5s in my camaro and a kenwood cd player and it gets loud

I turn the bass off all of the speakers and just run mid and treble (good crossover)

and have two subs for bass


lets the speakers get a lot louder because they arent trying to rattle bass out of some 6.5 pioneers

yea, turning the bass off and letting real subs handle it really adds loudness. with my speakers hpf'ed at 160, i can add almost 5-6 more volume digits and still have clean power to the speakers. my limit is my weak amp starts to cause my sub to distort too much, but my 6.5's are still good for a few more decibels haha
