New to Car Audio, need help

[QuickWRX]

Sup everyone. I'm glad there is a decent message board for car audio because I don't know too much. Hopefully someone can help. I have a brand new 2003 Subaru WRX. It came with the "upgraded" audio system. Well stock must be a real POS, because the upgrade is garbage too! Anyway, do any of you have a wrx? Do any of you know anyone with one or know what works best? Here's what I want:

decent head unit (I understand i'll lose the stock 6 disc changer)

replace factory door speakers with decent brand

possibly add an amp

figure out what to do with the subwoofer

I do not want anything too expensive, nor do I need and fancy fiberglass custom boxes. Just stuff to go under a seat or in the trunk. I'm looking for decent volume that I can hear well with all four windows down or while washing the car, bass on occasion when I'm in a hiphop mood, and crisp clearness when I'm not in that mood. Too much trebel hurts my ears, but too dull and flat annoys me. I lease the car, so door speakers arent a probelem and Im willing to take the risk but the 6 disc changer might be a problem. Can anyone suggest options for if I replaced the head unit with changer AND if I kept it in? Thanks you so much!
