Do front and rear car speakers need to match?
Rear decks are no longer the principal place for the main speakers because the stereo effect should come from the front. Nevertheless, rear speakers have to match the rest of the system. Ideally, when the front and rear car speakers are the same to prevent any sound differences.
Can you mix different brands of speakers?
Yes. Mixing and matching speaker brands and styles is fine. This means the Front speakers should be from the same manufacturer and designed to work together. Surround Left and Right speakers should also be identical to each other, as should the Surround Back speakers.
What’s the difference between rear and front speakers?
When it comes to rear speakers, timbre isn’t as important. Rear speakers only output around 10-15% of the total sound output, and focus on ambient noise rather than “main” noise (such as voices). A far more important factor is that your rear speakers can output sound at an appropriate volume for your front speakers.
Do you need rear speakers in a surround sound system?

How many speakers do you need for a stereo TV?

What kind of speakers do I need for my Honda Goldwing?
I’m not sure on the physical dimensions of the 1500 speakers. I’ve heard pretty good things about J&M replacements and lots of 1800 owners talk up the Polk speakers. When I had my 96 SE, I replaced the stock speakers with Polk DB-401’s and they were a perfect fit. No cutting needed as I remember. Better sounding speakers!!
