If you have the standard professional sound system with no amps, then yes, the rears are full range. The only frequency filter is a cap on the 4" mids in the front doors - these are run in parallel to the underseat woofers off the front channels of the HU.

Yeah, I also used the rear speakers as amp inputs. No problems!

which wire did you use to remote trigger the amp ? i have read about those with the lighter in the centre console, but that only works with the ignition.

any other places close to the back ?
