When you do the rear speaker kit, you are tapping into the rear channel outputs which were not used before (at least with the default instructions - you are attaching to previously unused pins in the connector to the head unit). As this is a separate circuit, I don't believe you should be bleeding off any power from the fronts/doors.

I'd check your connections and also check to be sure you didn't change some other setting like bass, treble, etc. when you did the work (or playing with it afterwards ). You now have a working fader control (or should have) - so try adjusting that too... my car is in storage now or I'd look, but I seem to remember keeping the fader biased a couple of settings towards the rear speakers to make the sound more balanced. The rears as stock have lower treble response than the fronts (no tweeters), so you may be perceiving that and need to notch up the treble. I added tweeters to mine to resolve that deficiency.
