Audio is horrible. Amp dead?

So I just installed a new head unit, to replace the tired stocker. The audio was always sratchey, and just over all, bad before, and the passenger front door speaker sounded blown out. Well, once I put a decent HU in, I only then notice that none of the lower rear door speakers were working at all. And the tweeters at the top are much quieter then the ones in at the front tweeter speakers. And again, the over all sound is just terrible. Sounds like every speaker is blown out AND inside a mother- coffee can.

A guy at a local audio shop told me that he had a X5 and the amp started to die on it, giving it similar symptoms as to what I was having. So, of course he tried to sell me one. So IDK if I should try and get mine fixed, buy a replacement OEM off of eBay, or go aftermarket?

Have you ever heard of my symptoms and it being the amp?

This is what I have......

Head unit it is a Pioneer avicZ120BT




And this is my amp.....







Also, do I have to get this exact part number for a replacement stock unit? If not, I will jump on this one.....
