Default ICE upgrades on my02-03 S's

Apologies if this has been covered in another topic, but

I have a MY03 S, and the speakers were supposed to be a lot better than those that came with 00-01 models.

Is it still worth while upgrading the speakers? and if so do I need to upgrade both sets (woofers and tweeters ??)

- or would I get better improvement by upgrading from the stock 03 head unit (again supposed to be better than the original 00-01 unit]

Am always left a bit confused after the ICE threads as they tend to relate to MY00-01 which apparently had a terrible head unit and speakers. The stock kit with my S isnt awesome - but it does pretty well (even at 70 with the top down)

I'm reasonably happy with the 02 set up. When you hear the original 00' system, you will realise why all the threads are about that one.

Sorry I'm not much help.

Typical answer to this question (and I'm sure someone will correct me ) is to upgrade HU first, add rear speakers then change front lower speakers if fancy takes you. The 02/03 setup is more rounded than previous versions.

The only problem is once you start it doesn't seem to stop. So far done HU, Rear speakers, Fronts are going in friday with an amp and sub, it just goes on and on. And I've never been one for modifying anything!!!

Thanks - may go for an alpine head unit next time I have some extravagance budget free.

I've got an '02 - the HU upgrade is a good step, but the rear speakers really make a big difference - the sound really fills the car!
