    Trying to figure out how to post...can only afford to either upgrade the deck OR the speakers..,which will yield the best result for the least money?

    Aftermarket deck will most likely push more watts than your factory one and will sound a little better. However you will probably get used to it fairly quick and want more.

    I upgraded my headunit first and made a huge difference in sound from my stock speakers.

    I built my stereo in stages, affordable that way. Did the headunit first, and then the amp/sub. Depending on the headunit you get, you’ll able to adjust the crossover for the door speakers and not over power them with the lows. I upgraded my door speakers last, take your time with your build. :D

    I highly recommend sound deadening. Night and day difference, even with stock system
