rear speakers

Behind-seat sound sources

Rear speakers are audio speakers positioned behind the listener, typically in a car or home theater system.

They handle surround sound effects and ambient audio, creating a sense of spatial depth: The rear speakers really make you feel like you're in the middle of the action.

In car audio, they're mounted in the back doors or rear deck.
