I'm not an expert, but I can give you my experience with a 2015 Chevrolet Malibu. I'm using a Blaupunkt EP1700X (copy of Audiocontrol LC2i) to amplify the rear speaker (soon to be front/rear) output of my Chevrolet Malibu. Your factory head unit definitely has its faults, but like mine, it probably has some sort of time alignment as well which is beneficial to a quick and easy upgrade. I recommend tapping into the front speakers with the Recoil LOCD (unless you amp has a decent high level input, then just use that) and deadening the doors. If you're unhappy with it and want to take the time to tune it yourself, I recommend the Dayton DSP-408.
For reference, the biggest issue to my ears is reduced low frequency response at high volumes (I think that's pretty common for manufacturers across the board). Not a big issue if you plan on using a high pass filter from the amplifier.
