Thanks for the all the collective great advice! It sounds like the general consensus is that the OEM head unit sucks. I'll have to look into a replacement head unit, and have read about many AVIC installs on this forum.

At the moment, I don't have the rears. I kinda like the storage compartment back there, even though it's small. Still, I hope I can get the new, existing speakers to sound better!
