The problem in the RC models is too little space in the rear for a decent
speaker. The rear speakers are 4.5 inch, poorly baffled and there is no
room for better ones. The front speakers are 6.5 inch and there is lots of
room for upgrade even if you have power windows. I even was able to enlarge
the front door holes on mine with a jig saw and put in 8" speakers in my 99
R/T RC and it has power windows too. That made a tremendous difference in
the sound. Don't waste time on the rear speakers though!
