I played with the "equalizer" on the "Premium Sound System" *rolling eyes* and came up with a temporary soulution. I moved the sound fader two clicks to the rear and now it sounds pretty evenly dispersed..

Very good work and thank you for sharing!
The aftermarket speaker volume tends to be lower. You'll need to look for the speaker with high sensitivity to match with the OEM speaker. The OEM speaker is China made junk. The OEM speaker sensitivity is in the mid 90 dB, and most aftermarket speakers are in the mid 80 dB. The aftermarket Infinity speaker has very high sensitivity. It is probably as loud as the OEM w/ better sound.
I replaced the entire 2006 Ody speakers with this combination:
It sounds a lot better than the OEM speaker. The movie surround sound is as good as HT.
I am planning to replace the 06 Coupe with 07 Si Sedan, and I'll replace the OEM speaker with aftermarket speaker.
