Default Need some help

Alright guys, I just bought a '01 WS6 M6, w/ a few problems. It needs new brakes and rotors, adn a little paint on the hood. That is fine, but the stereo is non existence, owner #1 had an after market stereo and that thing, and when he traded it in he took it out and threw in there some old cobb webbed speakers and a GM tape deck, and its not even hooked up. I need some help inventorying exactly the # speakers I need to by and what sizes (stock size), I am going to go w/ a Factory stereo, cause I would like to maintain the use of the steering wheel controls. If some of you do not mind, what speakers and what size do I need to buy, and what brand do yall rec? I was thinking Pioneer or Sony.

OK,

I know the doors take a 6" speaker (w/ the tweater)....

should I add a 10" sub? I have heard of people adding a 10" sub near the rear hatch opposite of the spare tire. If I did it, I would probably go w/ an 8" sub, considering the TA is such a smaller car than say a supercrew f150.

Its up to you, i wouldnt. I dont like too much sound system anymore, I just like maybe some aftermaket speakers that can handle a little bit more abuse, and the sound is crisper than stock. Thats it.
