If you have a Sedan, then you do not have 6x9's in the back, only 6.5"s in the doors.
If you want to add 6x9's you'll have to get a car audio installer to do a LOT of custom work (which includes cutting the interior metal and possibly weakening the rear deck's structure and adding noise to the vehicle's ride)
My opinion on the stock system is this:
It's fine for the everyday user, however for the person who wants it louder or even better for that matter, after-market speakers are a must. The bass boost setting in the deck drastically reduces your ability to raise the volume before distortion.
The stock speakers are 22w max and of very low quality. I only say this because one of the first steps i took to upgradig involved simply swapping the speakers for better ones (Kenwood eXcelons) and even on the stock amp the difference was incredible.
I've since had a lot of work done and it's amazing!
****I would recommend to anyone swapping out their stock speakers for better ones, or even going further to spend the extra money at the same time by adding deadening material to the doors. (dynamat for instance) I have upgraded everything in the car but skipped this step and once you have much more power going through the door speakers you will immediately hear how thin their metal is, and how much energy is lost into the doors by resonance.
The door metal thickeness is one of my 'beefs' about the forte, however once it warms up here
