Don't order components for the rear...that'll be a waste and mess up your front soundstage. Spend more money on the front door components and you'll be happy and then power everything with an aftermarket amp.
Check out the link in my system and you'll see that I've changed EVERYTHING except he HU...however, I may finally get around to doing that soon.

You'll get the most bang for your buck by changing the head unit - much clearer sound and eliminate the distortion that the factory HU produces.
Judging by your other thread, you're looking for more bass. So, rather than replacing the factory amp (which is actually pretty good for a low power amp), you could spend that money on a sub, stealth box, and amp to pump up the bass and leave the rest of the speakers running off the factory amp.

The stock deck has nothing for sound compared to any decent after market deck.
The stock amp is pile of crap.
The best thing I have done to my car so far was to pull the amp and get a Pioneer deck.
Even without my sub the front speakers sound way better.
The far rear speakers are a waste in my opinion. I replaced the speakers right behind the seats with cheap Clarion's and left the door speakers stock. + Added a 8" sub in the trunk. It sounds a world better even without the sub.
