rear speakers

I, too, am looking at adding rear speakers to my 2000 with rear storage compartment and hifi option.
The porsche rear speakers are about the same price as pnp-is the pnp really better?
Also, I have the seat all the way back with only about 2" between the speaker opening and the rear of the seat. How much does that block the sound?
Some people claim that the sound isn't that great and they have to adjust the fader well to the rear to get balanced sound.
Am I being too picky...Is this a worthwhile mod? thx.

My setup:

Alpine PDX-4.150 (amp)
Alpine 9857 (HU)
Focal 100v2 Slims (dash)

Crystal clear, highway driving.

You need a really clean, powerful amplifier to go with the Focal speakers to get the best out of them. That Alpine unit is small and sexy AND you won't loose any space under the hood...

The door speakers are fine as is, they are just for the lows.

Rear speakers are useless with a setup like this.
