When setting up a sound stage, the front speakers should be as close to on axis and directional to the listener. Which the 86 twins are with the exception of the mid-bass. With rear fill having them off axis removes the point of origin of the sound allowing it to blend better. The factory location is perfect to produce enough sound to contribute and not be blaring as any on axis rear fill would be. The rear fill factory locations are low enough that they have no real direct path to the listener. The only way I can tell my rear fill is on is if I lean back between the seats or adjust the fader to play on the rear only. Good rear fill should never be able to have their location identified unless the source of the note is coming directly from them. IE a surround sound movie.
With rear deck speakers they bounce off the rear window and are on axis with the listener. This causes them to be distracting from the front stage instead of complimenting it. If the rear fill was on the rear deck on the 86 twins, then I would not have done rear fill.
