Mounting speakers in the rear is a great idea, but I wouldn't 
consider this an alternative. I have 6x9" 3channel infinity Kappas 
mounted in individual boxes sitting on the rear parcel shelf. And the 
stock 4x10" one's are disconnected. This has created a "dead zone" 
for sound between the seats and the doors. Sitting in a car with the 
stock system in place, the sound is not as clear as newer 
speakers/system, but the range is fuller because you have sound on 
the sides, and not just the center. If you're going just for base, or 
anything like that, then you won't notice anything. But if you're 
going for clairity all fullness, then I would reccomend to swap out 
the rear speakers as well.

I've been told that 6x4" will fit nicely, although many speaker 
manufacturers do still make the 4x10" size. Kenwood makes these with 
160 watts peak, and are 3 channels as well I believe. Other than 
that, don't go overboard with the speakers inside. You biggest 
concern will probably be to soundproof the floor boards. Once you 
overcome this, you can focus on clarity rather than loudness. And due 
to the DeLorean's smaller than normal cockpit, a little bit of 
speaker power goes quite a long way. Only if you put a bazooka tube 
under the dash would you need an amp. I run 4 3-way speakers, and 2 
tweeters inside, and all are powered off the headunit.
