I don't know if it's a surround system as much as a system that physically surrounds you. There are a pair of speakers in the dash and 4 sets of separates (bass and tweeter) in the front doors and rear deck. The count is 10 drivers but effectively 6 speakers.

You can keep the speakers since it's a 4 channel - 4-ohm system (each door and dash set adds up in the impedance sense to 4-ohms). All you need to replace the head unit is to run an antenna cable to the dash as well as speaker wires to the speakers. The shortcut I plan is to run speaker wires to the amps behind the rear seat and tap into the speaker harness at those points. Switched and unswitched power, ground and antenna signal wires are available in the dash area. Not difficult but try getting a worthwhile price from an installer.
