Any suggestions for an audio illiterate kid, suggestions for good audio equipment? Options

Alright my situation is I am trying to upgrade my sound system and I am blind when it comes to that area of cars. I am looking for a good sounding system but one that I can get for a decent price as I am just a teenager working as a lifeguard. So I was hoping some of you guys might help me out. I don't know if it was a mistake or not but I already got sony explod 6.5's in the front (no clue what sony explod's rate against other companies, crap...decent?) Anyway I am looking to get a new head unit b/c my old one is trash, some rear speakers, a nice amp, and some subs nothing to big because I am not really a rap fan but I like the idea of three subs so I was thinking of three 10's or maybe better three 8's. Any help would be greatly appreciated

simple enough, upgrade your speakers, i personally hate sony, but what ever sounds better to you, dont get anymore then 1 sub.. 1 12" will be great.. I have two 12" rockfords, around 1800 watts an such.. I have the bass on full neg and the non fadin on full neg.. an its still loud .. or just get components and replace your drivers with 8" subs an power them like 100 wats each
