Thinking of adding rear speakers. Looking for advice
I took my rear speakers out over a year ago and I've been running just a front component set. To be honest I really like how it sounds now, but I was thinking this might improve the sound over all. (Then maybe I can turn up the stereo with out the people in the back complaining about nothing but bass)
I've been looking around for some speakers to fill the holes on the rear deck (where the stock speakers use to be) and I was thinking point source speakers would be the way to go. I've found a deal ($200) for the morel Tempo 6.5" speakers.
What I'm wondering is why on the website they're listed as a Point source speaker, but they dont look like it from pictures. (As far as I know, The tweeter is suppose to move with the larger midbass) They're also labeled around the net as Coaxial speakers.
I'm currently running a set of 6.5" Morel Hybrid ovation series with a MB Quart DSC 4125 bridged 2channels, powering them (They're not seeing all that power. Definitely turned down) The doors that hold the midbass drivers, is heavily 'sound deaden'ed'.
I've been reading about speakers that are on the rear deck and people suggest to have a them in an enclosure of some sorts. Something like a plastic cup that would seal around the underside of the speaker. Its said that large amounts of bass(from a sub) will distort the rear speakers.
Any thoughts on this? Where could I purchase a plastic mountable enclosure like that?
Thanks.

I'm sure once they understand the meaning of "walking" the complaints will die off instantly......
Failing that....the Morels are popular these days but I would go with a much smaller speaker and put it in the factory hole.
If you can find a good 3.5" or 4" coax, cut a mounting plate for it that will drop it down an inch or so and not block the entire hole.This will maintain a way for your bass to get into into your cabin. You could power them off the deck the odd time you need it to keep the whining down to a dull roar......
You can buy foam covers for the back of the speakers at Canadian Tire or Walmart.
