I'm kinda in the same boat as you...no one is in the back seat the majority of the time. The kids get back there ocassionally, but not that much.
BTW, what set-up are you building the box for?

I have a set of clarion coaxes 5x7 running off my clarion HU in my truck and believe me, thats purely rear fill.
Now If'n I had utopias in the front and in the rear, both amped, that is what I'd call saweet!
You thinking about selling a set?

i have my Focal 6.5 165 CV1 and 165 V1, but can't get them in the truck yet. i have not tried the front doors yet, decided to start on the back doors, and the adpater plate i ordered weparately does not fit around the focals, and there is too much to dremel out, so i'm thinking of now trying to make an adapter out of mdf or something... or just get a good dremel, mine is battery operated and loses charge after a few minutes!!
but, i did hook the speaker up outside the door and tested one of them, and they do sound alot better than the stock.. i was trying the stock and then switiching to the focal quickly, and a big difference is clear
