I would go with Alpine, Pioneer or Eclipse for a headunit. IPOD can be integrated with most of the newer decks. But you will need the special accessory cable/device that will allow you to hook it up to the deck. For the subs you will need an amplifier and a wiring kit, plus some RCA cables. The sub amplifier should have equal amount or more power than both of your subs combined.

If you are getting a deck,amp,subs I don't see a reason why not to upgrade all the speakers as well. Most likely the subs will be overpowering your speakers and the system will sound like poop. Unless of course you're a bass junkie and clarity of sound is not important.

check out www.the12volt.com lots of info there.
