your never too old to have a decent sound system i know alot of people older then you with a loud system lol
also there is no point in changing your speakers unless you amp them as the rms output on an original stereo is very small so you will be drastically under powering them

Just by changing the head unit alone with give you noticeably better sound. I know you said you prefer the oem look. You can get some nice head units that are not lit up like Xmas tress etc.
you can still use the steering wheel stalk controls with an aftermarket headunit. all you do is by the stalk harness and patch lead (as the other chap said check out mt audiothey will tell you exactly what one you need for your specific headunit) its a cheap and easy fix.
once you have your wires then all you have to do is remove the dash, plug and go
20min job max!
sound quality will be noticably better with a aftermarket headunit, and as the other guys said - you dont need anything flash!

!When I fitted mine I had to remove the dash in order to get to the clock where one of my leads had to plug into, located under the clock, which is secured in by the dashboard-hence why the dash was necessary to remove

There is a lead that let's you do it without removing the dash, I just got one and fitted it ok with my Sony HU. I reluctantly dithched the cassette HU as I loved the old school look but the step up in sound and practicality (Bluetooth for audio and phone) was well worth it.
speaker wise I am happy with the infinity 5020 in the front, 5032 in the back that I fitted.
Wish I knew of that damn lead ha!
I bet, I hope I didn't come across too smug
! I had bought the one that needs access to the back of the clock. I was putting off fitting it and then saw a thread talking about the no dash out one by chance as most threads refer to the dash out one (hence buying one in the first place) !

Sorry to resurect this old thread, but did you get round to upgrading? I've just fitted a cheap aftermarket headunit but I just want some better quality sound. I listen to a lot of music (not bassy/sick tunezz), and I'd just like something with a bit more depth. What would I need for quick cheap upgrades for front and rear speakers for ph1 172?

hmm.. any suggestions. I'm clueless when it comes to audio.

I've got a juice active sub in my boot and I've upgraded my front speakers to vibe slicks.
Great sound IMO.

If I were to buy these would it just be a straight swap as I'm not clued up with wiring etc http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270964261030?redirect=mobile

Read the above advice.
That will have all the sound at your knees and unless you're changing the head unit to a decent one and/or amping them, there will be almost no point at all.

Infinity are very good. I always seem to buy them when it come to speaker replacement. Sub wise, I went for an active sub due to not wanting to lose half my boot.

What brand of sub is it Charlie, and are you happy with the performance, quality and depth it provides? I'm really interested in getting an under-seat sub and you're the first I've seen with experience!
Where are you based Charlie, and are you planning on going to FCS this year? I'd love to hear how it sounds.
Cheers

Well that's close to being a 900 mile round trip from me to you & back so a listen will have to wait for another time
Look forward to the video, meanwhile, thanks for the positive comments - looks like yet another raid on the savings fund is in order!

Hijacking the thread sorry, Is there any point in having a sub with a stock HU? Like is it compatable or just a waste?
I want the sound but like the OEM look on the dash haha

yes you can get a rca lead that fits the cd charger plug so can run a amp and sub.
