Rear Component Install

K so i have a little bit more time cause im only taken two classes this semester and one is a computer science one that is a joke, so more free time for me.

Im trying to figure out where a good location would be to mount the tweaters in the rear of my car, its an 07 4 door civic, i really dont care if it would hurt the peeps in my back seats ears, not my concern, they can wear a hood if its that bad, but i want a good sound stage.
Last thing, right now i have my ground on a smaller gage cable, i think its 8, but i have a 4 gage power cable, should i find a better location to ground other than the back of the seatbelt bolt, and should i get a little better ground?

i have 6x9's in the back that aren't even hooked up...i should really take those out. after driving around with my focal k2p's, i have ultimately decided to never have rear speakers again. the other day my girlfriend gave me a ride to get some beer and while she was inside, i disconnected her rears. hahahahaaaaaa. the reality is, rears ruin your soundstage because the high frequencies interfere and pull the soundstage further to the back of the vehicle. especially true in a civic. (i have an accord) sell them, and upgrade your sub!

well if i sell them, i can sell the amp too which is pretty much brand new and retails at 800, i got it for 199 so hmmm

well i just looked at the prices of the amps and i wouldnt make much of a profit, i guess i honestly do like rear speakers actually, i tend to fade a little more to the rear than the front when i listen to music at high levels, i guess its preference. i mean i totaly understand what your saying, my buddies ranger has rears that u really cant hear cause the seats literally cover them up, and it sounds decent for being ran off the stock head unit, but like i said when i listen to my music its Loud, to the point where most of my friends tell me to turn it down, and cars next to me roll their windows up, so i dont know i mean IF u were putting them in your car in the rear, where would u put them, or would it really not matter too much for the rear.

Once you hear what a properly setup front stage sounds like, it's hard to go back to using rear speakers. I use them on occasion, but only when I have passengers. They are also attenuated by a good amount, so the front speakers put out alot more volume. Recently, I have just gone with front speakers, even with passengers in the car.
