help for stereo upgrade for a simplist

Hi Folks,

I know this has been discussed to death ..... there is so much info, that I am having difficulty understanding the options available.

I have a 2001 boxster base.

I need to upgrade my stereo system and I've been able to narrow down to the following. I dont need hard core stuff. ... i just want to have OEM fit if possible:

1) upgrade dash speakers
2) upgrade door speakers
3) upgrade Head unit.
4) Adding 1 amp

From what I've read,

1) alpine SPS 410 seems like a good choice for buck for OEM fit.
2) I have no idea which speaker would fit with OEM .... i heard there is a difference between regular door speakers and also a BOSE version, which can be sourced 2nd hand from ebay. Is this true? is the BOSE version of the door speaker decent?
3) Head unit, i heard Kenwood KDC-BT555U is a good choice
4) I heard that there is always 1 stock amp in the front. I would like to power the dash speaker with this, and add 1 amp to drive the upgraded door speakers.


Can someone help me clarify the above points?

Thanks alot!
