Upgrading speakers - especially the rear, behind the headrest ones

[detch]

So I have the base speaker setup.

I fixed the bluetooth problem and now I'm ready for upgrading the speakers.
I bought for really cheap the OEM subwoofers and mounting hardware. And now I'm looking for amp, mid and tweeters.

Obviously I did my initial google search and what I found is I should focus only on the door speakers. Alight... but I wonder.

Isn't a rear speaker a good thing when driving with the roof open? Yes - I know that the stage might be weird etc. But when the exhaust is screaming, the wind is buffeting etc. And having a simple speaker close to my head could be a good idea?

And two additional speakers isn't that much of a cost.

I've not experienced a car with the rear speakers, so possibly take with a pinch of salt, etc. I fitted the door speakers to my 2.5i thinking they might help a bit but not expecting miracles. Turns out it made a massive difference, went from having to welly the volume right up to being able to have it at a moderate volume with the roof off. Taking phone calls suddenly became easy too

You could always upgrade the door speakers and then add the rear speakers afterwards. I've not had the bulkhead apart so I don't know what's involved in swapping the cubbies to speakers, the door speakers are pretty easy to add.
