new speakers and a moderate 4 channel amp will keep you happy for now.down the rode if you decide you need subs its an easy upgrade.as far as speakers there are tons out there.....but a fully matched pioneer system will sound sweet.just my .02..........jeremy

first off, are you running the stock head unit? an upgraded head unit will give you a little improvement (personally i recommend JVC, alpine and clarion). other than that, you could do new speakers, dollar for dollar the best speakers in car audio i believe are boston acoustics. others might have a different opinion, but they sound great. and you could spend anywhere from 100-500 bucks on a set of their speakers. that said, a cheapo set of theirs might not give you the improvement you're looking for. but if you drive a wrangler, you have to weigh the pro's and con's of a subwoofer. i know johnny runs one, but he also doesnt drive his jeep everywhere. and if you run with the top off thats a whole different issue cause its easier for people to see, but also exposed to the elements.
so a nicer deck would give you more capabilities (i got one that plays mp3 cd's, its awesome), and they generally put out more power than the stock deck. a 4 channel amp is kind of a pain in the rear to wire, then again, wiring in a wrangler is a lot nicer if you dont have the carpets down still.
my vote, new head unit, if thats not enough, upgrade speakers, i put in a sub last year, and sold it this summer, took up WAY too much room in the back for my liking, nice speakers make all the difference in the world.

I would go with a simple speaker swap first, I would not worry about the amp at first. I nice set of two way 5 1/4's up front (will require a adapter bracket stock is a 4x6) and a set of two or three war 6 1/2's in teh sound bar (car has 5 1/4 stock but 6 1/2's will fit. this will allow for better seperation of sound. The Pioneer DEH P4600 only has two preamp out puts and neither ofthem is a non-fadeing sub out put, so I would not go the route of an amp yet. see if a good set of speakers fixes your sound dilema.
If you decide you want more, I would suggest to get a crossover and from that get a 5 channel amp and add a small subwoofer to the rear, a small 10 inch would make a huge diffrence.

just do new speakers, you can get a bracket from 33 engineering allowing 5.25 speakers in front, instead of 4x6 plates...depending on the year you can fit 6.5 in the soundbar! you dont need an amp if you have an aftermarket deck..its a lot of extra work and money
