stock speakers aren't loud enough as it is (non-bose). aftermarket would be way underpowered and

hard to find. save up another 200 bucks and get an amp to power aftermarket speakers if you are really looking to upgrade. you wouldn't have to worry about the 2ohm resistance either with an aftermarket amp so your speaker options would broaden (and probably end up saving you money). it could all still run off your stock head.

The stock HU has pre amp outputs. Search in the audio forum

You'll need a Blaupunkt adapter to connect rca cables to the amp. Works great.
