Default Speaker or Sub Upgrade?

I want to upgrade my Shaker 500 with out adding a new head unit or amps. Should i go with upgrading the rear speakers, door speakers, or door subs first? What speaker sizes or speakers would fit on your choice?

I don't wanna upgrade the head unit or add amps because I don't want to spend more money. So would my best bet just be upgrading speakers?

the shaker makes replacing just the speakers difficult, and the indash changer is crap.......

IMO start with doing new coaxials front and back my recommendation is the polk db571 i believe is the model its a 5x7/6x8 and will be a direct bolt up

replacing the door subs will be complicated. new front and back coaxials will improve your sound but ultimately an amp/headunit upgrade is what u want in the end

You can put in new speakers bc the factory are just a plain old 4 ohm 5x7 speakers that is run straght off the factory headunit. Replacing the factory subs with aftermarket is where you just cant throw some aftermarket subs in there, you will have to add an amp to that......But you are really going to want to replace the headunit atleast.....Your factory one will eat your cds sooner or later...
