Greetings.
Now, that I see you will probably replace everything, let's have fun. Get a aftermarket radio.( USB , 2 preamp outlets. ) Cartoys runs these often. Wire in harness. Thrash stock speakers. These size speakers are easy to install with a little work. Disconnect rear door speakers. Replace front door and rear deck speakers. Here's the fun. If you have funds in the budget get a four channel amp and a single ten inch subwoofer in a behind the seat truck box. Run RCA cable under center console, under driverside seat to trunk. Under carpet to driver side interior plastic panel. This avoids electrical interference. Power wire to amp through factory holes in firewall on passenger side of car. Wire the front door speakers to the front channels. Bridge the rear channels to the sub. Lay the sub box flat. Sub toward trunk lid. A few bucks will give you some decent bang. I used an amp install kit from Frys. Radio harness from Cartoys.
Radio-$130
Amp kit-$35
Speaker $40 (front only) Alpine on sale Cartoys
Sub- $35 Kicker Frys
Sub box $ 40
