Akk that is true, am not looking for a 5.1 setup here. A 3.1 setup should do (front 2 channels, the rear and the .1 for the woofer).
Want to know whether the rear setup works. If it does then trying it is very easy.
Remove the ground connections to the rear speakers(insulate the source ground that came from the HU) and serialise the speaker (through the blank terminals) - you should get the rear channel. (Do it only if you know its safe)
I may be trying this weekend, but still m waiting for some comments that would help me in the precautionary measures I need to take.
Once you get accustomed to it, 2.1 is old stereo. We do watch movies on the go.
Fillmore and Condors reply can convince pt7. You try this setup and all of u would be convinced with the 3.1.
This surround setup works best for songs but for movies the best is Pt7's choice (that doesnt mean 3.1 doesnt work for movies)

We dont need to invest such big heeps of money for a 5.1 decoder (dolby prologic, dts, neo6) in a car. To realise and enjoy 5.1 we need a room of at least 8'x8'.
3.1 is good for a car-movie. divx, dvd's in 5.1 and 2.1,vcd formats (any stereo source) all of them support this (3.1) decoding. Have tried it and am using this setup in my room.
Please note (if at all somebody is trying it). - you should have control to reduce the rear as its very loud (almost twice than your normal channels) and NOT PLEASANT IF HEARD UNBALANCED.
