Aftermarket Speakers on 2013 3.8

[MIKES3]

I'm looking to eventually replace my stock 7 speaker set up as well as the head unit. Stock just isnt loud enough for my young ears.

I'm curious if anyone else has aftermarket and what they went with.

The OEM speakers are going to be better than anything you're going to find aftermarket, unless you go super high end and spend the big bucks.

But I agree, the stock head unit on the base models is TERRIBLE. One of the worst I have ever seen this side of a tape deck.

My buddy has a base model Corolla from 2002 with role up windows and even that head unit has more features.
the lack of setting is amazing. It doesn't even tell you what song is playing over the radio!
That blue back light is tacky as hell too, it looks like a $20 Casio watch.

I'd love to replace that head unit but I don't want to loose the functionality of the steering wheel buttons Or have it look ugly. :/
