hey, brandkd!
i think what you did is a pretty common choice. one way to really get the most out of your addition is to add some high pass filters to each of the factory speakers. you can buy them or make them (google search) if you have some basic soldering/wiring skills. the function is to roll off the lowest frequencies going to the factory speakers. this allows them to only produce tones that are say, over 300 hertz, and lets the new sub do all the real heavy lifting on the bass end. you will be surprised by how much louder and clearer everything sounds when the little factory speakers aren't being driven to produce the real low bass.
just an idea. i have done this on other vehicles and also on my home system with great results.
