Simple upgrade to improve audio

Hey,

I'm not an audio file but I do like quality sound. I love music and listen to everything.

Does a simple speaker upgrade exists for 2nd gen? Does Clutchfield have anything good as a plug and play replacement?

best bet is replacing door speakers which are fed off of an amp in the back and will offer some more bass.

After that I would replace amp in the back.

After that replace dash speakers and feed them off of amp.

Thanks, I was thinking the same thing.

Any quality door speaker options that really makes a difference?

pretty much anything in the 70-100 dollar range will be an improvement. I'm running polks up front.
