Default wiring questions.

i'm not to into electronics when it comes to cars.

i have a 1991 honda civic wagon. it's not the 4wd version.

all it has is a place for 2 door speakers in the front.

i was wanting to know what an easy way to wire it to where it'll also have 2 speakers in the back,

i could cut holes in the interious and place two speakers.

you could, its harder with the older hatches, cause they didn't really provide the places for the rear speakers as a standard...

if you want it to be cleaner, you can go and search for the fittings, normally they install into the pop-out panel above the rear arm rest areas on the sides...

imo, for really good sound, just spend the money on the front stage.

you don't need rear fill.

+1, amplify some kick *** components up front and install a nice clean single 10 or 12 inch sub in back in a sealed box.

here's a little background on why rear speakers playing mid and high frequencies should be discouraged and even subs in the rear screw with things but that's almost impossible to remedy unless you get really crazy. Think of the last concert you went to or actually any concert or symphony you've been to. You've of course never seen the musicians playing behind you....it all comes from the stage in front of you. When people speak of a car's "soundstage" this is where this term comes from. If, for instance, you had rear speakers that are playing both high and midrange frequencies you'll hear instruments playing both in front and behind you which isn't an accurate reproduction of how that track would sound live. This is why jesseman is recommending to forego rear full-range speakers and spend your cash on front speakers.

I have to agree with the rest, spend your money on the front speakers and power to drive them properly, and if anything add a sub in the rear.

There should be rear speaker locations in the rear of the car someplace, I am not sure where that is on the wagon, probably rear side panels, or maybe rear door.
If the car did not come with rear speakers then it will not have come with grills and speaker mounts, although I would be willing to bet the speaker leads are run. 94
