Oh goodness.

If you're an audiophile, you're going to want to ditch the stereo. The head unit isn't all that bad honestly, but the speakers are typical paper crap. Ditch them.

Past that, it'll also ride like a Jeep. Might want to grab some springs. Anything past that is personal preference. Feel free to hit me up via PM with any questions, or on AIM. I use the same name there too.

i was debating if i should change the speakers, especially cuz i work at best buy. the fronts are 6.5, and the rears are 5.25 right? will that greatly improve the sound even with the stock radio? i just dont want to put speakers in there and have it still sound eh.

The stock stereo doesn't put out the wattage necessary to push some high-end speakers to their limits, but you'll still undoubtedly see an improvement in fidelity by just swapping out the speakers. To get around the wattage problem, just grab a decent four channel amp to power your speakers and you're good to go.

the question is i guess, after putting in more expensive speakers, will it be THAT much better? will there be bass, and can it get loud?

also, i just want to make sure, is it 6.5" in the front, and 5.25" in the rear?

A lot of people have said that just changing out their Speakers has made a HUGE difference in the sound quality of the radio!

Welcome by the way
