Subwoofer would be an option and not hard to add, but cost would double on parts ($200=$400 or more with sub and box).

Thanks for posting. I am actually in GA so I probably will not be attending the install event lol.

But I read through the thread you linked to but I am not sure I understand this post:

I highly recommend if you do not want to upgrade to a new head unit to at least use a LOC or a mtx re-q5 and add new amps to power your new speakers as they are going to want more power.

Is he saying that you cannot improve the stereo without getting a new head unit? I see that the specific post you linked to contained a list of parts. Is this what I would need to purchase in order to improve the sound without getting a head unit?
