Just because the music is loud does not mean it is clean or pleasing to listen to. Unless you are of the opinion that "trunk rattle" constitutes quality audio then setting up a system takes work.
I would start with what lacks in the music that you like on your system. More bass then start by adding depth with a well designed sub tuned for you. You will need the enclosure and amp. You don't "need" alot just enough that when you add to it later then the bass won't get lost again. The amp should be clean and the sub woofer needs to efficent , that costs money. Next buy a another clean 2-channel amp and bring up the midbass and midrange with the original speakers. Tune that then go from there to replacing the rear speakers. Work your way forward as you can afford it. But research before you buy and spend wisely. Don't get cought up in the hype bigger is better. You have a small area in the cabin so it does not require much clean music to deafen you. Or for that matter distorted crap to ruin good music and hearing.
Just my opinion

This is my problem, i want a powerful balanced system with 0 distortion. having a sub muffled in the trunk seems like it would take away from the clarity. has anyone cut a port into the rear deck?
anyone ever use on of these?
