Default Speakers in C5 Vert

I have 2 sets of MB Quart 5/25s, will these fit in the rear speaker location or should i have them custom mounted somewhere else? I plan to use a couple of JL amps to push them. It seems though that with the top in the stowed position they're going to be pretty much blocked by the top. What to do? I want to use these speakers.

i wouldn't waste my time with it... use the jl amps to power some nice front comopnent speakers.

I was out riding in the Vert today. I can't imagine being able to hear the rears at all. I'm with ScottFx, ditch the rears and put your $$ up front.

When the top is down you won't really hear the rears, but the top isn't always down. When the top is up I find it more pleasurable, listening with rear speakers.

From someone who owns a vert, I like rear speakers. In the end though, it's what you like!

maybe its cause i hate rear speakers in any car basically

only time IMO i will recommend them to a customer is if they are very adomant about wanting rears or in an SUV since ppl in the back alot and stuff like that or sometimes in a bigger sedan but i always run less power to rears or just HU power

With this I agree. My rears are turned way, way down in relation to the front.
