rear speakers

hey yall--

shlomo is running well and im on my way to getting the vacuum figured out. itll be fixed by next weekend. the next things are going to be cutting a dash cover from some thin felt carpet and having it bound up at an upholstery shop to cover the edges and installing back speakers.

the car is a 1979 240 with the am/fm europa(not an option to get a new stereo, chrome is too cool) and front speakers only. it does an ok job drowning out the ending noise but the back is a little boomy with the dead space back there. i want to install factory sized, decent speakers.

i put pioneer speakers in the front and they are plenty loud. dare i say it, they even produce a bit of bass.... but i want more.

i do not have a fader, i just have the block off plate. i have heard negative things about the fader making the speakers not sound so well or producing static. is this always the case? id like the installation to look as original as possible, no holes cut or anything like that.

can a new fader switch be had that wont be as bad as the 20yo used pieces? is this economical? can i just not use the fader and splice wires from the front? how bad would that sound to have 4 speakers run on 2 channels?

i know next to nothing about audio, i know the neon came with lots of wires and speakers and has a great stereo that i replaced all the speakers in recently, but i dont know anything about running wires or hooking them to the radio!
