They have magnets the size of a thimble literally. These speakers are so cheap and inefficiant they'd distort at the volumes i'm talking about with any amp. The fronts on the other hand can get so friggin loud before breaking up it's in a whole other league...not even close. The amp is fine..........the rear speakers are crap. thats the entire problem. For the rear amp to cause this it would have to be far weaker than the front, and even then i'd have a hard time believing it because the rears distort at too low a low volume for it to be the amp and not the speakers. The reason i said they distort at higher volumes is because the fronts are much lounder and by the time the rears distort, they aren't at a high volume, but the front is, and so the overall sound level is fairly high. At that point they are supplying the perfect amount of lows to compliment the fronts, but are then flabbing out.
Great - sounds like you are convinced of what it is you need to do
