sailplane speakers?

For those running a serious system, do you have 6x9s in the sailplane? I would think that it screws up your imaging real bad considering they're six inches from your head and all.

In my IROC I don't have any rear speakers, in my 86 Sport Coupe I've got 6x9s running off of just the deck but I'm faded mostly to the front, and in the GTA I'm not likely to use any rear speakers. You're right, it does kill your imaging.

Its all how you like your music to sound some people like Jim like the sound from the front only like a stage setup some people like myself like to be in the middle of the music. it also depnds on the music you listen to.
