Just to add to that, it is also best to add an external amp to power aftermarket speakers. Granted, some will not need it because the headunit will be able to send enough power to them (generally speakers with low rms watts). But if you are looking to upgrade the speakers to some great quality aftermarket ones, an external amp is a must IMO.
Also, I have had an higher end Alpine headunit (CDA-9813) for about 5 years now and still couldnt be happier. You wouldn't believe how much of a difference it makes in terms of making speakers sound better, but you need to have some decent speakers in the first place. It won't turn crap into gold.
Consider adding a subwoofer too. You don't need one that can be heard 5 blocks away, but it does wonders for your music. It gives the music so much more depth. Once you get one, you'll never want to be without one again.
All that being said, I'll be happy just hearing the exhuast of my Camaro's V8!
