If it is buzzing like sound first check to make sure it isn't the little Bose insignia on the speaker grill being a little loose that is causing it.

The rear is 5 1/4 yes. I have an alpine HU with an alpine KTP 445 power pack. It's like an old school amlpifier and it's plug and play. Plug it into you HU and then the wiring harness. I have it under the pass seat.

It has a full 45 watts of power, x 4

Then I got some JBL 6x9 and put them in boxes behind my seat for added base.

Next year I am going to replace my front JBL 6.5 and put my 6x9's up there and get some components in boxes in the back.

I have an FRC as well. I don;t have my 5 1/4 rears hooked up.

This isn't a setup that will win any competitions but it does great for me.

There is a sticky on steroes here that explains the C5 stereo possibilities. If you can't find it, PM me and I will send it to you.
