if your looking for that price range I would no look into swapping the HU. Leave the factory unit in since it will play your ipod and anything worth upgrading to would knock out a large portion of your budget. (I have not personally used the FR-S radio since I have a BRZ, but I havent heard anything about it being absolutely necessary to replace)

If you feel the need for a sub try and use the one you have or sell it on craigslist and find something cheap to put back there, its a small car and doesnt need much bass especially if the seats are folded down.

Spend a majority of the money on the front speakers since that will net you the greatest benefit. The pioneer 6.5" you have will work for the doors then get a nice set of 3.5"-4" components for the dash. Note that 4" will need a bit of trimming and you should try to find a slim speaker to make sure it fits.
