I'm curious as to the reasoning of off-axis instead of on.
I didn't disagree that rear fill isn't important. I've used it myself in other cars. My problem is with the location of the drivers in this particular car.
I find that speakers located where the rears are in this car always sound far too loud from one relative to the other, unless they are so low in volume as to not contribute anything anyway.
