If your doing speakers only, almost anything sounds better than stock. Are you also going to stick with 5.25" or are you going 6.5"?

Sure ya can. I would look at some polk or infinity 2ohm 6.5s. They will work good with the stock unit and will also handle an amp.

Hogtunes is very affordable and sound extremely good for the price, but they only have the 5.25's I believe.

Can't beat the Polk MM651 speakers. I had them on the stock head unit before i got my amp. They were a huge improvement over stock. And the sound even better after i added a amp.

If you are trying to go as cheap as you can and leave room for expandability. I would go with the Polks.
