DJ...regardless of whether you drive the wagon or the sedan.. the back speakers have a lower output for the mid and high frequencies.. this is as designed.. The intent of the rear door speakers is to add a minimal amount of fill to give the sound a little ambience/presence.. The back deck on the sedan houses a pair of subwoofers which are maximized by adjusting the output as you've mentioned...
Most avid audiophiles strongly believe that there should be no rear fill, only bass coming from the rear. The argument being that the soundstage from a live concert comes from in front of you.. with some reverb from the rear... Having said, many folks feel like there is something lacking with this setup... and often opt to put more efficient speakers in the rear doors, or full range speakers in the deck to give you that more balanced sound you've mentioned...
Personally , I find myself constantly fiddling with the fader control.. It really depends on the music I'm playing.. At louder volumes I tend to set the fader at around the 10 or 11 oclock position, bringing up the rear somewhat..But at lower volumes the system seems to sound better with the fader in the center position, as designed..
Hope this helps...
