rear speakers
My standard response .......
Fronts on an amp will do 100x more than upgrading the rear 6x9's.
Imaging is a major component to sounding good. You get this the most be having the music come from in front of you. This is why most people recommend going ***** out on the front speakers and forgetting about the rears.
Think about this ..... in any quality home stereo setup .... have you ever seen more than two main speakers. No. Do receivers have more than 2 hookups for speakers .... generally yes. But if you read manuals its for multi-room applications or surround sound (another matter altogether). Rears in a car are essentially for rear passengers (unless your doing surround sound in a car).
I have Diamond Audio M6's 6.5" components up front on a Kicker 150.2 amp. I also have Pioneer 6x9's in the rear. I was running them off deck power. To kinda blend equally I had the fader +7 favoring the fronts. Using the fader though in the end I came to the same conclusion. I basically don't even have them running anymore. I have it faded all the way to the front. It is much better.

I noticed your from Ottawa ..... I live in NY.
I wanted to go to the Winterlude this weekend but god damn .... it was just too f'ing cold out. Fun and a good idea for Valentines ....
I even got my girlfreind a pair of Sorel's like mine (rated for -40F) in anticipation of going. My mom got a pair of the -100F one and they are cool but anywhere above 20F and they make your feet sweat like hell .... lol.
Maybe next year.
