Yes, this is quite a good suggestion.
Another option:
1. Buy a 4 channel amp.
2. use the 4 channel amp to power your woofer and satria rear speakers.
3. Use a high pass crossover (D.I.Y also can) on the satria rear speaker.
4. Use you current line speaker out from your HU to a tweeters with high pass crossover.

Btw, your HU does have a RCA out right?

The cost:
Tweeters might cost you RM150 to RM200 depends on brand.
Wires, amp wiring kit, distribution block, fuses and workmanship need to be discussed with the acc/audio shop.
4 channel amp, depend on brand and what you actually want. Roughly around RM500 to RM600. Get the ones which is reliable and good enough. Don't get a too cheap one. Buy one that can still be used when you plan to upgrade your system once you have more money.

Hmm... For my current stock HU, the rear connector are the RCA pre - amp out. So, if use the balance and fader setting on the HU, rear and front setting of the HU and actual setting will be reversed. Stock speaker are connected to front output of HU but placed at the back of the car.
This is how I plan to do my I.C.E later......

One more reason is, the stock speaker can be used for rear fill. High pass can be set at a not to high freq. Since stock speaker are normally 2 way (right?). By the way, you can also use the fader setting of the HU to pull the soundstage to front if you connect the tweeter.

The plan is to have an upgrade that is worth it and noticable. What is lacking from a stock audio? Bass right? That's why the subwoofer is adviseable. However, we are only giving suggestions :) The final decision is still up to him :)
The plan would be,

1st phase
get a woofer, 4 channel amp that can be used in 4/3/2 mode and a tweeter set. Install everything and use back the stock speakers to save cost. Amp will be powering the woofer and the stock speakers. Or the woofer and the tweeter.

2nd phase.
get a 2 channel amp to power the woofer. Use the 4 channel to power a component set and the tweeter. The stock speakers can be removed. Get a new HU if the current one does not have 2 RCA pre amp out or get an electronic crossover. Can get another woofer too if the amp can power it and the space allows it.

3rd phase.
Now...it's up to you and your budget :)

ok whtever...

Haha, :D must have forgot that. But actually, got 2 people asking questions here. :)
Maybe because you play the volume to high that's why the speakers kong?
Oh, btw, make a high pass filter for the rear stock speakers. If you don't want to use the speakers, also ok la...
