replacing all of your door speakers will improve your sound, but typically not very much as your head unit must be more powerful to give more power to your newly acquired doors speakers in which you want to purchase. if you want to go another direction, order your door speakers and amplify the speakers that way. either way works, but i do recommend a new head unit as you have alot more options to tune your speakers to how you want them to sound.

replacing your door speakers is not a very good idea since what TGM6 just said your gonna need a new headunit to get a more clear crisp sound from your speakers, it was interesting to hear TGM6 to say somethin about keeping your stock radio, replacing your speakers but at the same time amplifying the spearkers. To me that says giving your speakers even more power then your stock radio can handel thus even worse sound quality, you might get a little more thump on bass hits but the vocals will sound like somebody is singing in water with a mouth stuffed with cotton balls. That said my suggestion is get a new headunit, if your gonna go cheap go with Alpine or Kenwood, and i know Pioneer is really cheap but you should really think about getting your hands on some Polk Momo's or Eclipse, again you should really start with headunit first then speakers you can run all those w/o an amp (if you go cheap), but i also suggest upon getting the speakers have an amp ready (if you decide to take my advice)

yeah, the head unit is definitely the way to go for the best clear system you can get out of those speakers. i should have mentioned before that the amplifier with the stock head unit is not for the audiophiles, but for people who are limited on money and just want to get a little more bang out of their system for a reasonable price. by all means, the head unit will definitely improve your system.

ok got it. Need the Head unit first then speakers then what ever next.
I mean the reason I am asking is because I have a friend how will be giving me some Kickers I think thats what they are. So I was trying to see if it was even worth putting them in now or just wating till I got a head unit.
Any ideas on an affordable head unit. I don't need one that really plays CDs just one that has a better out putt. See I have a good MP3 player that I just want to use with a Transmitter and just have it run threw my radio. But I figured it wouldn't hurt hurt to up grade.
Any ideas on a good head unti.

eclipse, pioneer, and kenwood are all good systems for what you seem to be looking for. the headunits amplify most speakers at 50x4 watts which will crank out some pretty decent power for your newly acquired kickerz. some units will have better watts such as 60x4 watts. as long as the unit supplies power to 4 speakers, you will be fine.
check out cardomain.com's store and enter your vehicles information. alot of products have reviews on them and you can read about each player to see what product fits your needs the most.
