Exclamation Monsoon Sound System

I have a 2004 Pontiac Grand Am GT with a monsoon sound system in it. It's loud, but only when I turn it up loud...The back speakers have no beat to them what so ever. I have to listen to rap if I even want a little performance from this sound system. In fact, it turns out that there is a 200 watt amp in the trunk. I didn't even know it was back there until my uncle was poking around (he is an auto body mechanic and also installs Alpine sound systems).

I am car sound system retarded, and my uncle is always busy. So I decided to do something to my sound system by myself. I was wondering if I could:
A) Buy a bigger amp and two subs and just take the old amp out
B) Buy a HU, all new speakers, a new amp, and the subwoofers.
Or, should I just replace the HU?

My only concern is that by buying a bigger amp and HU it would blow the stock speakers.

Any advice from people that have replaced a monsoon system with something different would be greatly appreciated.

Also, are Walmart HU worth anything?

Just wondering

Thanks, Zac.

the amp thats back there drives all your speakers currently... so you cant take it out .. unless you replace it with a amp that will drive all your speakers..

you could however add a extra amp and a sub without too much problems.. VW's have the same monsoon system in them and there are quite a few how-to's on adding a sub and amp
