I'd replace the 6x9s in the parcel shelf with these -

Car Audio Direct - The UK's leading car audio and stereo resource.

as you don't want high frequencies coming from behind you, bouncing off the rear screen, as it screws up the soundstage & confuses the ears which are very sensitive to the direction of high frequencies.

You will need an amp as any head unit will not power 3 pairs of speakers.

I'd forget about speakers in the shelf or rear doors.Just get a decent set of components up front (afterall thats where you will be sitting) and a decent amp to power them and dont forget to dynamat the doors

I'll second scooby-tc's comments

Leave the rear door speakers to run off the headunit for "fill"
