The head unit is just an ordinary Delco unit so he could keep the factory one he has. He'd need a Monsoon amp, the special speakers (mix of 2-ohm and 4-ohm components), and a bunch of wiring. Everything except the wiring should be available fairly cheaply in the parts for sale forum because so many people rip them out and upgrade to aftermarket equipment. The wiring shouldn't be too difficult except that he may have trouble finding the connector that plugs into the amp. All the pin-outs are listed in the Monsoon FAQ sticky at the top of the forum.

I am totally bypassing my monsoon system. I am keeping the factory stereo but will use an active 3 way crossover. Then using a 4 channel amp for the highs and mids and then another amp for the midbass and then adding a 10" powered sub. Use components in the doors and in the hatch. Use quality 6.5" midbass for the sails. Trust me, If he is looking to add a completely new system, he needs to spend his money and time on a quality sounding system. It will by far outperform the Monsoon system.

Keeping the factory head unit is your biggest mistake. The Delco HU is the source of all evil as far as the Monsoon system is concerned with the amount of distortion it pumps out.
