Fwiw, in an ms-8 system, the rears are not for any reduced volume "fill'
The MS-8 uses rears for two purposes:
1) ambient recorded information (I.e. room reflections) which is detected by the MS-8 as audio which is out of phase on the recorded track, are played (in phase) from the rear speakers, to recreate the "room" in which the music was recorded
2) low frequency (Midbass range) sounds are played on the rear speakers, out of phase, which has the effect of "pushing" your soundstage up onto the dash.
- it is for this reason, I don't really recommend turning up amp gains after the ms-8 calibration. In such a case, the ms-8 is a bit limited in its ability to "fake" the sound of the sub coming from the dash...hence why you may see comments about not turning up sub gain too much. With equal power to the rears, the MS-8 will be able to preserve a front stage even with louder sub bass.
