I'm enjoying it. No trouble, really. Though the JBL's tweeter is a bit too bright on the very high notes. But the JL is pretty good, with warmer highs that aren't too bright.

Rear speakers were left alone and powered by the HU.

Another option is to just throw a 6.5 in component set for the full front stage with the woofer in the door and the tweeter in the dash.
Mine is actually quite different. I'm running a 6.5 components in the doors/dash (woofer in the door, tweeter in the dash) as the rear channels, and the front channels being the 4" coaxials, and sub in the trunk.

I'm looking at modifying my setup with help from @captain_jack by putting in a 2x100 2channel amp in as well, powering the components off of it, and putting in 6.5" coaxials in the rear. The 5ch amp will then power the 4" coaxials on the front channels, and the 6.5" coaxials on the rear channels, with appropriate cross overs to bias the sound to the front but keep the full range rear fill. The 2ch will pass thru the front channel pre-outs to the front channel of the 5ch., and I'll run a 1-to-2 distribution block to power the new amp without having to add another power line at the battery. I'll just make sure the fuses are either correct or are upgraded.
