I'm using a Kenwood four-channel amp to drive the front and rear speakers. It's rated at 60 watts RMS x 4 @ 4 ohms. Compare that to my Pioneer OEM headunit (it was in the 2017-2019 model years) that puts out 16 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms, and you can see how much more punch I've got available in my system now.

Was it worth it to replace the rear speakers? That's a matter of opinion. I chose not to delete them because I wanted to wire them in series with my front mids to give me a 6-ohm circuit for my "B" channel on my amp. The JBL 3.5-inch speakers I chose are rated at 20 watts RMS at 3 ohms, so by going with 6 ohms on that channel, there's less chance of giving them too much power. You could certainly design your system without them, and you might not notice anything missing.
