Hey everybody,

Currently, the rear speakers in my 2003 nissan 350z are broken. I'm just wondering if theyre even worth fixing. I've heard that they are pretty useless and that you can't really hear them. What do you guys think about them?

 

do ducks swim?

 

hahaha

 

Do pigs fly? No. No, they don't.

Yes I use my rear speakers.

 

You heard wrong.

 

Maybe he couldn't hear, his speakers are broken.

 

If you tune it, you can hear the rear or in sequence with the front.

 

On a serious note, I don't even have rear speakers installed my Z.

 

Idk i may have to retract my statement above. Reason why i even put back speakers is because i got new door speakers and didnt want the others to go to waste. If you have rear speakers to spear, then go for it.

 

**** I hear them,something is thumping behind my seats when the volumes up.Need to find a Z in my area and see how big a difference there really is..I hear u guys bitching bout not using the rears all the time,now I'm curious

 

Do you need rear speakers in Canada?

 

u mean the ones right behind your head...where did u get your info they are useless?

 

Sound quality experts will tell you that the rear speakers are not needed. The example I have been given is that when you go to a concert all of the sound comes from in front of you. It has to do with sound phasing; how long it takes the sound from each speaker to reach your ears, and how your brain perceives sound.

 

Not really, its too cold!

OP, may be a funny question, but have you played with the "fade" setting on your radio to check that sound is actually getting to your rear spkrs?

 

Listening to music with rear fill somehow gives a fuller sound to both me and my girlfriend. Using just the front provides better bass response, but does not sound as good to our ears.

It's all subjective. You can listen to what all the experts say, but if it simply does not sound good to you, why bother?

 

When you go to a concert do they have speakers behind you? Not normally, if i have a good set of components up front then no rear speakers are unplugged. If going back to stock like i am currently then yes i will run rears.
