Can somebody who has done this before maybe take a few minutes to just put together a list of parts for me to buy? I can honestly say I searched for a total of 2 hours since yesterday but I'm quite clueless on what is available

I basically just want:

replacement speakers (door and dash mounted speakers)
cheapish sub
cheap head unit (if necessary)
cheap amp
and any other supporting hardware needed....


If anyone can help me with this that would be great. Otherwise I am probably just going to go to some car audio shop and ask them for some help, but I've got a feeling that this option would end up costing me more money
