For now I would not change the standard speakers.

You will find they sound very good when supplied a decent strength signal. I amped (and high passed) mine (4x35w rms was more than enough) and they sounded wonderful (Many thanks to Marks DTM for that advice  :y).

Changing the speakers without external amplification is not something I would recommend as the cones in decent aftermarket speakers are much stiffer and require much more power to sound good.

A dedicated sub will make a BIG differnce to the sound. A single 10" or 12" will be more than enough. Just make sure the amp is well matched to the sub.

Oh, and good luck with the wiring behind the headunit!  ;)
