Keep in mind, Ive not installed a system in 15 years.

I have a Pioneer 4200NEX and have the itch for some better sound. No subs, just nicer speakers to attach to the HU. I wont be amping. Im not crazy into this...just want some richer sounding music
My comment was for rear speakers. Sense the base model doesn't have rear speakers there is no pre ran wire back there. You have too run new wire from the head unit to your rears. As for old school yes back in the day it was easier. But today there are many differences such as separate tweeters and woofers (front speakers) that make it hard to use the new crossover included with the new component (again front) speakers. If you have a bose system that has it's own set of issues such as speaker wire isn't running to the radio, its being ran to the trunk to an amp.
