radio- the brain of it all. dont skimp here, i recommend a kenwood excelon.
subs- the lows. what to go with here would depend if you want clean sound or retardedly high amounts of bass.
speakers- the mids and highs. stock speakers usually sound like crap, aftermarket makes a huge difference. if you can afford it go with a component set in front(separate tweeter and mid). go with normal 2way/3way(tweeter and mid are attached) in the rear.
amp- the muscle. this is what powers your subs, and if you have the money your speakers. a mono class d amp is best for subs. a 4channel is good for front and rear speakers. or you can find a good 5channel, it powers both the speakers and the sub in 1 amp to save space.
that covers the main parts. you also have things like the wires and things like that.
u need amp,woofers,woofer box,wire kit,Receiver(radio) maybe,if new Receiver,wire harness for it and universal housing to fit that yr. car.try 12” Cerwin Vega stoker 124’s for the subs,I have 2 of them and they SLAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
