Default Do I need rear 6.5's?

I am venturing into the realm of car audio for my 02 coupe. Now do I really need rear speakers in the stock locations, or r they just for sound filling purposes?

Rear speakers are useful for introducing cancellation into your system.

But seriously, there really is no point. Maybe in a 4 door car, with passengers in the back. But not in a Vette.

I personally think so. I've had a few friends that are 6' 2" and taller sit in the passenger side and their big bear legs tend to block the WHOLE speaker by their leg or vice versa if I let them drive (which is VERY rare) it's the same thing, their big ogre legs blocking that side of the speaker. I can at least hear the music in stereo sound with the rear speakers.
