Rear speakers are for rear fill if someone is sitting back there, which this car is small enough not to need them even if someone is crammed back there.

Yeah, I don't see me EVER cramming someone back there. This car is a two seater.
The rear speakers do serve a purpose. When (if) you sit in a living room listening to music, or sit in a club listening to a band, the speakers fire at you and sound is reflected from the walls behind you. This gives the sense of being surrounded by the sound. In a car with just front speakers the sound is directed from your left and right, leaving a void behind you. To me, this is unnatural.
Given the above description, the rear speakers don't have to do a lot of heavy lifting. But the stock rear speakers can't even accomplish this simple task.
Good to know about the speaker cavity, infinite012. I will have to remove the panel and determine the depth of the space. Maybe a mid-grade 4" coaxial (I believe they are 4-ohm) would work well in that location. Perhaps I could also install an amp with speaker-level inputs to help drive those speakers.
