try installing ur crossovers ,,the stock amp does not do the crossover for you if you look at the wiring diagram the stock doors set is not a true component set... The tweets and the woofer are fed the full range out from the amp.. Look at it like this.. Your door speakers are full range they just installed the tweets in the door sail and the woffer down low..

One more thing the stock amp is weak Im not sure I dont think anyone knows for sure,, since there seems to be no info on the amp but Im thinking it puts out like 10 to 15 rms per channel at 2 ohms PS: your stock speakers are 2ohms not 4 like your new ones,, not a big deal but now your weak amp is driving 4 ohms in the front and 2ohms stock in the back..I bet your new components spec out like 100rms cont. and 300rms MAX... NO way will the stock amp get them to hit for you..

YUP! get a new amp..at this point get some new 6.75 full range for the rear haha it happens to everyone once you start it just grows.. good luck...

The rear OEM 2 ohm speakers are more efficient than your new 4 ohm front speakers, 2 ohms vs 4 ohms, that why the rear speakers sound louder. If the stock amp only pushes 10-15Wrms at 2 ohms then it's only delivering about 5-7 Wrms into 4 ohms. The 4 ohm speakers won't be as loud the 2 ohm speakers.

Try fading the back speakers out with the stereo controls to lower the volume of the rear speakers.
