Most folks go with new speakers, new head unit, external amp(s) and a large sub woofer(s) spending $1-2k, too rich for me. The system I'm considering is more modest and doesn't take up much room in the cabin but sacrifices some performance for cost and space savings.
I have to sort of disagree. There are plenty of great speakers out there that can be used without a sub just as long as you give them enough clean power to do so and also dampen the doors against rattles. I installed a set of image dynamics speakers in Cali, before we even had the sub in the components being powered by the amp were shaking the mirro pretty well and creating very clear sound with 110 watts.

If I were in your shoes I would get the polk mm's than a alpine head unit than this little baby. Ask trooper we were both blown away by the power this little amp put out and its plug and play!

The polk db's are good if you run them off a stock head unit. However they will sound better with a aftermarket head unit and even better with a amp powering them.
