tru, in reality you don't hear the rear ones (in the hatch) anyway. However, i only recomend removing them if you install a custom system. I say this b/c the ones in the sail panel are free air subs, not normal speakers. It won't sound right b/c u will only have full range speakers in the front and mid air subs in the middle. The monsoon system uses the rear speakers in the hatch area to even out the sound.

Here is what i did: I put components up front, and full range (4-way) speakers in the middle and took the rear hatch ones out. this all runs to a 4-channel amp and i have a sub in the back w/ its own amp. You can't even tell i don't have speakers in the hatch.

i have a set of speakers im going to install in the hatch area b/c they have been sitting in the garage for over 2 yrs. Im installing them "just b/c", i prob wont notice them much.

And yes; the blue wire coming off of the headunit is the remote wire that runs to the remote port on the amp. that is how the H/U tells the amp when to trun on and off.
