trust me, head unit first.

Adding a Receiver and Speakers to a Ford F-150

"Based on sound quality, we feel comfortable recommending that if you have to choose, you should install an aftermarket receiver as the first step in your car audio transformation. Some of us thought that speakers might have been the logical first step, but the RTA showed us something different. That’s why we test things in the Crutchfield Labs."

Critical, if he doesn't want to upgrade the head unit there are other options. One being a audio controller to take the high outputs from the stock head unit and send the signal to new amps. Or use something like a jbl ms8 to get great sound from his stock head unit without changing the head unit.

OP you do NOT have to replace the head unit however it is recommended.
