03 G35 Sedan Audio help

Just got a double din conversion on my G35. Got a pioneer avh-p2400bt put in. The speakers are no where as loud as they use to be. I'm thinking of getting new speakers in a bit and will proly add a good sub as well. Pretty sure the latter requires a amp. I dont know much about car audio and want people to give me setups of what I can get put into the car.

What company should I go with? Should I buy one powerful sub or two not as powerful ones.
Can you guys please suggest setups that'll go well with each other.
My price range for the speakers, amp, and sub is around 800 (1000 is pushing it). Installation for all this is going to be alot and I can't seem to find people who do it for cheap.

If you already have the aftermarket headunit, go with an amp next (a 2 channel amp with 300w RMS is a good starting point). Use that to power the stock front speakers - just be careful not to crank the volume too high. Replace the front components next with something that can take full advantage of all that power from the amp. After that, you can decide if you need a sub with some proper components, get a second amp, sub and box.

As far as which brand/model, it depends a bit on what kind of music you listen to. Eggyhustles is a frequenter of this forum and is more knowledgeable than I am on those matters.

Where are you located? You might want to hit up the regional forum for your area, see if there's a member who can assist you.

I listen to rap/hiphop so will obviously want a good sub. Even thought the sound coming out the speakers right now isnt loud, I dont want to add an amp and then add things later on. The installation in Toronto, Canada is alot. Or maybe I dont know anyone who does it for a good price. I want an entire system before replacing everything. I dont really want to add things one by one as installation will be alot.
I'll check the regional forms and see what I can find. I would still like to know what a good sound system for my car would be. price range: $800-$1000.
