OP, wanted to provide one more thought:

The OEM headunit has an internal EQ that is set to accommodate the stock speakers and their acoustic properties. This means that simply dropping in different speakers (while changing nothing else) can lead to undesirable results. The best method (the one that yields the greatest quality) involves having an external processor that can take the signal from the head unit and flatten the EQ before sending to your amplifier to power the speakers.

It would be nice if the stock headunit spit out a flat signal, but this simply is not the case.

If you're just adding a sub you will be fine -- and depending on your musical ear you may not notice a simple swap in speakers (if you choose to do that), but I thought i'd throw it out there.
