Best upgrade is the headunit itself in my opinion. Run aftermarket speakers with a good headunit with good pre-outs and it will sound 5x better. Bluetooth for phone, multiple aux imputs, color changing display, better preamp voltage, detachable faceplate, Pandora, high and low pass filters, better EQ... the list continues. Spend money on a good headunit and work on from there.
