I would go without and save up for S-pods. Lucid's, I have heard, are muffled because they are behind the seat. I would not want to "settle" for anything on my system, because then I would always be thinking "I could have had better."

Just my $.02

I have the rear speakers and love them, not muffled at all. I think the S-Pods sit way to close to your head. You'll be very hard pressed to get them to sound properly that close to your head...

The rear speakers made a noticeable improvement over the stock setup in my '00.

Rear speakers behind the seats are definately better than none at all. They are muffled compared to S-Pods, but if you use 5.25 speakers...you can always upgrade when funds allow. (I've done direct comparison test's.)

Only people who have not yet heard S-Pods in person think they are too close to your head. If you ever get a chance to listen to someone's S-Pods in person, I think you'll be amazed at the differance compared to behind the seats.

Current information about S-Pods can be found at: www.streetsmarttechnologies.com
