I wouldn't spend too much time & effort on the rear-speakers either, but from my experience things sounded better (at least fuller) with them there.
My setup: I'm running a RF P500X4D 4-ch amp to components in front and bridged for a single sealed 10" sub in the trunk. Tweeters were mounted in the dash and 6.5" speakers (4-ohm) were obviously in the doors, running full pass-through on the HU and amp, allowing the crossovers to do all the frequency separation. The OEM 3.5" rear speakers are currently being powered by the aftermarket Pioneer AVH-X8500BHS HU.
I accidentally cut the wires to the rear speakers for about a week and drove around without them connected thinking to myself they're virtually useless anyway. But to my surprise, it just felt something was missing. After connecting them back up I was happier with the overall sound. Now I'm wondering if a $50 pair of 3.5" or 4" speakers for the rear, powered by the aftermarket Pioneer HU, is worth experimenting with. Anybody try to install aftermarket 4" speakers to the back? I hear speaker baffles ($7.50 on Amazon for a 4" pair) actually work pretty well for smaller speakers like these.
