Crutchfield.com is one of the best online audio shops,check them & call them for info about the VX audio system.
beside that many of us will drop a quote for you to ease the job.
Dakar was just the begining.

Keep in mind that the stock speakers output is 120 watts each.so you must go no furter that 100 watts on the head unit & amps if you go that far to be in the "safe zone" the last thing you want is blown rear speaker,man to get there & have that speaker replace is annoying
Super VXer
i would buy new speakers.... i have 2 blown stock ones in my car they rattle under any base... so i am going to replace them. and then pump it all with a new head unit, what are the names of a few headunits that are straight up bolt ins with stock brackets?
Super VXer

now the 6.5s are a 3way and the 4s are a 2 way... do head units account for both if i used these two in a set up? i know nothing about stereos
Super VXer
I've been buying car stereo gear from Crutchfield for years, and you can't beat the support. If you buy the head unit and speakers from them, they include all the brackets, stock wiring harness connectors, and instructions for installation specific to your vehicle (even the VX!). Also, for about $20, they have a single DIN storage compartment to replace the stock CD changer. I've got four 6 1/2" Infinity shallow mount speakers and a Pioneer I-Pod controlling head unit, and the installation was pretty easy. I also use amps and subs, but a good head unit will drive those speakers well by itself.
Super VXer
roughly what would you say it cost for your set up minus the amp/sub? would you be able to send me the part numbers on your set up to check it out?
Super VXer
My head unit is a Pioneer DEH-P3900MP, but I believe it has been replaced by DEH-P4000UB. It costs $164. You may be able to use a less expensive unit if you don't need the USB connection or I-Pod controls. The speakers are Infinity 6022si. They are $89 a pair. The speakers are currently shown to be out of stock, but the Crutchfield rep will let you know when they expect to have them in stock. It's usually not too long. Go ahead and get the 6 1/2" speakers for both front and rear. It takes a little modifying for the rear speakers, but it's well worth it. There's a good write up about here somewhere. The search feature will find it for you.

Actually most of the new CD players shall fit without any issues,but all comes down to make sure they are ok to going in the deck with no struggles.
Since you going to replace them think about a 3-way speakers all around
