'98 Grand Prix rear 6x9 speaker replacement
I have a '98 grand prix gt. I replaced the factory 6x9 rear speakers with a pair of Sony Xplod 3-way speakers. I'm still getting poor sound even with the new 6x9s. Should I replace the 4" mid-range speakers two? Should I get diffrent 6x9s or a diffrent amp? Not sure what to do, any help would be great!!!!

I still have the factory HU. I think I'm going to have to get a new amp. and wiring.

I would like to keep the factory HU, so I don't lose my steering wheel controls and 12cd changer.
