Im in the midst of installing a pretty high end system in my IS300. Had to do a lot of learning first though. Go for a nice set of component speakers and mount the tweeters up high (a pillars or dash). Most decent sets will take at least 60W RMS so to souund their best, an aftermarket amp should be used. If you want to run them from the stock head unit amp, a high wattage rating isnt important but a high sensitivity is.

At least some dynamat (look for an alternative bc dynamat is expensive and there are products just as good out there) could benefit you. I have some on the way but have never used it so I cant speak from experience although I hear it is well worth the time and money spent. Also sealing your doors will help boost the mid bass from the door speakers. Aluminum flashing siliconed over the holes in the inner door skin with dynamat on top will do nicely.

Its all a matter of how much time and moeny you are willing to commit. The easy route would be to just buy a decent set of component speakers and hook them to your stock head unit. Dont go with coaxial speakers. You want the tweeters seperate and located higher.
