The factories aren't that bad, IMO, at least in the sense of being livable. You can definitely upgrade to a better HU without doing the speakers and have a fine improvement in your audio experience, assuming your speakers are in good stead. That said, replacing the speakers is a good next step. I replaced the HU with the Alpine iDA-X100, and I'm looking forward to replacing the speakers and adding a sub at some point. I'd love more/better bass. But as it stands (aftermarket HU + factory speakers), it's not unlivable.
