So theres 6x9 in the back, 6.5's in the doors and what about the small speakers in the doors? What are some good common speakers to upgrade to? Is there a good direct replacement amp for the speakers only?(not sub)

I would pass on the Alpine if you are interested in processing, it only has 3 bands of EQ from what I remember. It does have a neat feature that auto tunes the equalizer and such, but price is hefty. The RF 3Sixty.1 and .2 have much more capabilities and can do the same as the Alpine, you can use a PDA or laptop to adjust the tuning which can be very helpful, and as a processor it has MUCH more capabilities than the other two units. I haven't looked much into the the JL Cleansweep, but I checked briefly into it's specs and it is kind of like the Alpine, though it does offer more bands of EQ, however, it doesn't have all that many Outputs.
If you wanted to stick with OEM integration, I do have a brand new RF 3Sixty.2 that I planned on using but decided to go with the complete aftermarket route with a standalone processor. I'm selling it for quite cheap as well (cheaper than eBay). If you're interested feel free to PM me or check the Marketplace for my thread.
Also, to add onto what the Bose system is, it is set to have a flat resposne. Many people may not like this flat response and tend to like their music a bit more lively. I can live with the sound, but I like more from it. The 8" sub in the rear deck is weak, the mids actually produce more bass than it. There are many other factory systems that sound better. My gf's Mazda 3 has a pretty good sound system, with excellent midbass but something about the sound I don't like, I think it's missing something. The new Corolla's are supposed to have a pretty good sound package (JBL). Dodge has a good audio system for the lower volume range with some really nice midbass, but crank it up and it won't get loud and sound as clean as the Bose in our ride. Gotta keep in mind that the Bose is flat and more than likely will not please someone who enjoys the feeling and loudness of bass.

My rearview mirror will also do the vibration thing with the right song. I'm very familiar with what (2) 12's sound like and this is no-where near that level, but it is still very acceptable for an OEM setup.
The first thing I would do is play a song that you know has a deep bass-line and position your ear directly over one of the 2 rear deck subs. It should be very apparent whether or not they're working.
