Have to say the Cruze is the one and only vehicle that I have owned that has small rear door speakers. Wonder why they did this, when you get much higher sound quality from the package tray and already laid out for this.
04 Cavalier had rear deck speakers, cheap single cone speakers with a magnet about the size of a wedding ring. Replaced those with Blaupunkt overdrive 6 by 9 full range speakers, wow, what a difference. But also installed an auxiliary amplifier to convert the radio from a CD toaster to a CD player. Just used the fadder to kill the front door speakers, my feet don't have ears anyway and were causing acoustical phase distortion.
So what did you do with your rear door speakers? Disconnect them? Sure can't parallel additional speakers, would overload the car radios amplifier. Stereo infers two sound systems where the music is recorded with two microphones to produce a lot more fullness to the sound. Adding additional speaker with the same identical signals only acts to degrade the quality of the sound. Ha, and contrary to so-called purist, do love the ping-pong effect.
Did add rear speakers to my home system for sound surround, but entirely different signals, makes my relatively small listening area sound like a concert hall. In my Cruze, haven't play with it yet, just kill the rear door speakers, notice a degradation in sound quality with those turned up. Certainly wasn't designed by a professional. A marketing guy is more like it.
Rare for me to have the rear seats down, only when I am hauling something, but a cure for this also. Radio has an on-off switch.
Also a L-R and R-L circuit that by increasing the negative levels gives the effective distance a lot more width when speakers have to be mounted closer together, like in a car. Add this and sound surround would be nice, but the main speakers have to be in the front. Impractical and would require some really major modifications, like getting rid of the air bags.
Ha, in my airplane all I got was a 4" speaker, but if you want to stay alive, far better off to listen to ATC than to music.
Best sound in a vehicle is to wear noise canceling head phones, but is illegal, but say nothing about adding a 2,000 watt system to your vehicle. Can also get a driver's license if you are stone deaf, so will leave this to you to figure out. I could, if I was smoking crack like our law makers do.
