I have a mk2 and it only as 2 front speakers. I would I go about adding two more in the rear? Can anyone off any advice?

Halfords do fitting for £20... Choose the speakers then sit back and relax 
If it was a three door it'd be simple, but in a five door your going to have to work out a way of getting the wires from the door through the rubber door loom thing into the cabin.
Also re. above. Halfords fitting for speakers is £49.99. And you'll probably find it hard to find a store that'll fit speakers.

Not a bad idea. Dont really like the parcel shelf speakers but I might find a way of doing things abit different. Any idea how to wire them up to the headunit? and where to put the cables?
Possibly a really stupid question, but why do you want speakers in the rear of your car...?
Decent set of components up front, amped if you can... job done.

Where would these be? In the rear doors theirs no speakers or even speaker covers.

I have bought some new speakers, only some £35 alpine ones, should be better than standards. If this doesn't make any difference then I will be adding some rears I think.
The same power and (I'm assuming you've got the standard headunit?) awful Renault HU noise will still be going to them though...
Aftermarket (Alpine, Pioneer) HU, then speakers, then amp if you need/want.
All IMO of course.

To wire up from parcel shelf ive got it going like this:
Amp in boot, RCA going from amp to back of heaunit "rear" pre-out.
The rear speakers are on channel 1&2 bridged, so simply wire the parcel shelf speakers down into the amp in the boot. Then ive got channel 3&4 bridged to my sub, again RCA going to the sub pre-out on the headunit.
Although you could wire the parcel shelf speakers into the wire connector block at the back of the headunit into the rear speaker terminal holes. Not sure which ones they are though and it wont sound as good as amping them, but will be a heck of a lot cheaper.

What speakers would you recommend?
Never come across a JVC head unit that is even bordering on 'good'. Alpine or nothing for me.
The standard speakers are just fine - as long as you can cut the bass to them ! Had a cheap sub in my ph1 Clio, HPF/LPF set up so the sub does the heavy stuff, and the standard speakers do the high stuff, and it was just fine. Fairly high up the range Alpine unit mind...

I did have an alpine one which was £220 and that was great. Going to get another next month.

No idea on the speaker front sorry, I just bought some £25 FLI ones for up front as my stock ones had blown, their not bad to be fair, cut the tweeters off them too. My parcel shelf speakers are mutant ones, no idea on the model etc as they were a present off my ex, and their also covered over with carpeting material so you cant see them in the shelf.
Headunit is a Sony MEX-BT3700U however, some kind of bluetooth, aux, usb one with 3 pre-outs on there, bought purely for the pre-out reason and I love the functionailty of the Sony ones with scrolling through USB.
There should be. Which mk2 is it exactly?

If its a 5 door there wont be, my mates PH2 DCi had no rear speaker holes and hes adamant into thinking the air holes that are either side of the parcel shelf are the speaker covers, he wont listen to me.
you can always fabricate a mount to put speakers in the parcel-=shelf air-holes, but you'll only get, say, 10cm ones in there unless you mount at an angle.
Stealth shelf would be an alright, provided you fit any cones so they remain stealth.
Personally, Alpine HU (with High-pass filter engaged), standard speakers and a Pioneer active tube. Works fine.
