You sure you want coaxials or components on the rear shelf? It'll really really hurt your soundstage! If you desperately want rear fill, I'd go for just a midrange driver, and cross it over at about 200hz and 1khz. If it plays too high, it'll drag your carefully constructed soundstage right to the back of the car. Remember, high frequencies are directional, and you brain can tell where they are, low frequencies are not. I'd definately try it before you buy.

If you want to be more fancy, you could contruct a Hafler circuit to provide ambience (difference in left and right) This is done by putting a speaker across the positive terminals of the left and right channel, to give you the difference between them, this is essentially what Dolby Prologic does. The effect is pretty convincing if done well.
