Very nice headunit, good speakers.

You might consider getting a subwoofer sometime in the near future...

Having rear speakers at all can ruin your front soundstage completely. When you go to concerts, the music is always in front of you, right? The 6x9s would be all right if you had the fader focused towards the front I suppose. Ultimately, of course, that's up to you.

It wouldn't be bad to get the 6x9s after all...they still might need a bit of adjustment once they are installed...

type S speakers.. very good for the price.. good head too.
in a small truck you can always use a self-amplified bass tube (bazooka) in 6.5" or 8" behind one side of the bench for low fill.
won't rattle the glass, but it gives a nice low thump to the system to round out the frequency range.
cheap solution, and removable with a single wiring harness plug, too.. when you need the space.
