If you get speakers do not get sony x-plod their stuff is crap, there is better stuff out there for same price. A good set up would be component speakers, 4 channel amp, one 12 inch sub, and mono amp. If you wanna have more bass then you would need two twelves or one 15 and a cap as well.
I have alpine type r components all the way around, with mrv 540 amp, and it sounds amazing. i do not have subs, so i lack real bass cause the typre r are only meant for highs and mids not lows. I might get subs one day, but i woud rather have rims now!

Yes there is a huge difference between your head unit output and an after market one, but it does not matter because if you buy new speaker you will want to get a 4 channel amp, so the HU output does not matter. It would also be wise to get a better HU because if you do not then you will not be using the full potential of your amp/speaker because stock HU does not have RCA outputs.
If all you are worried about is hittin harder, not sound quality, get new HU, mono amp and sub.

wow... thats a lot of info.. thanks.. but i would like sound quality as well as bass... 2 12"s is too much for me for sure.. one 12" will most likely do... thats y i think id rather just get some speakers.. but im not too sure... also.. what are component speakers?... also.. the sonys sounded pretty good to me.. haha so for a person who like sounds like where u can hear the song and the bass hits... ( not extremely loud to where all u hear is bass) wat should i do?
