straight midranges in the back for 5.1
all your rear effects handle are reflected and ambient fill sounds. Nothing more than light midrange stuff.
Anything with a tweeter is going to pick up hiss from rear channels when playing anything matrixed or synthesized, which you'll notice on most 5.1 setups playing 2.0 audio like a radio station.

Keep in mind that the center channel is the primary channel in most movies and that the rears are least used. I wouldn't do anything greater than a set of coaxials in the rear. I wouldn't personally put midbass back there unless you listen to more music than watch movies.

I'd do equivalent quality coaxials.

well if its for 5.1 surround, I would put just as good of speaker in the back as the front. but I've never tried to do a 5.1 surround setup in a car.... so i would do some kick ass coaxials, or some good components

I am going with the 5.1 setup in my car. For the front, I am getting a pair of component and a center speaker, now for the rear I dont know what to get. Coaxial? Midrange/midbass? or another Component?
