Rear speakers A20 SLK 350 2005

I’ve read all the threads that I could find, but nothing seems to discuss replacement of the (2) rear speakers by the sealer belts, nor installing new speakers in the center console (which are not present in my vehicle). I am otherwise using stock door and A pillar speakers, an aftermarket Alpine HU, and an powered 8” sub in the footwell (all of which work great!).

Maybe this is a fools errand and rear speakers are simply unnecessary?

Assuming they do have value...

1. How can I ensure that new rear speakers will bolt into the mounting points for the outboard ones (assuming I will leverage existing wiring). Anyone have a model they recommend?

2. Might I install (and wire) new speakers in the center console such that each seat has a R and L speaker for themselves? How would the wiring work, and how do I know that a new speaker will mount easily? Like can I just split the Right Rear channel to two rear speakers (and same for left)? Again, anyone have a recommended speaker that will bolt right into the center console?

I dont think they do very much. I didnt even know my wife's car had them till my installer ripped them out. The OEM audio in these cars is ancient by modern standards and the kit is built as cheap as chips (inc Harman Kardon stuff) for factory install.

Fine to keep this lot if you're not bothered about great sound quality or you dont drive that much.
