If you do decide to get a new head unit for the sterio system let me know I would be intrested in your old one.

Yeah, you can run it all without buying an HU, you need a line level converter to hook an amp up though. It won't be as clear as a new HU.

Its in good shape it has a dim light on the rewind button but still lights up how much would you offer for it

Look at Pioneer or Alpine for HUs. they have lots of features and you can choose what you want in a HU. i picked this one for you: Alpine HU (http://http://www.crutchfield.com/S-5nvGnvODG60/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?i=500CDA9883&s=0&cc=01)

for front speakers, check these out: Infinity 4x6s (http://http://www.crutchfield.com/S-5nvGnvODG60/cgi-bin/prodview.asp?i=1086412CFP&s=0&cc=01)
for rear speakers, try these:Infinity 6x9s (http://http://www.crutchfield.com/S-5nvGnvODG60/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?i=1089613I&s=0&cc=01)

you can get all of this cheaper on different sites.
i would recomend not amping the speakers right now. usually you want to use an external amp for them when you have subs so that you can have a HPF for the speakers and not blow them.

BTW you also have a 2.4L not a 2.2 :)

Sounds like you did good for your first setup. What matters is how much you like it, in fact, thats all that matters. Good to see you went with a round speaker up front, much better sound than aftermarket 4x6's
