If not, probably the rear speakers because it is really crap.

Do I really need subwoofers or can't i just upgrade the speakers at the back with a bit more ooomph? Thanks.
First advise sq gurus give is not to upgrade the rear speakers, and nost would even disconnect it. The principle is that when listening you normally like the sound stage to be up front and center. Normally you would like rear sounds only for movies...

The subs would be able to produce lower frequency sounds that your rear speakers either wont play or would play poorly. Downside with subs is that they eat up space. Suggest you consider this. For me I opted to use a customized fiberglass enclosure created by Jonz of simplesounds. More expensive than the regular mdf box, but it allowed me to have trunk space.
