Hi all, i currently have a 2008 ford fusion wth the large black sony head unit (Picture attached)

im looking to upgrade the 4 door speakers and also maybe add a sub in the boot.

what would i need to do for this? im sure the stock head unit is powerful enough for some mid range aftermarket door speakers but if i want to add a sub what will i need to get?

if the stock head unit isnt enough, i was thinking of upgrading to one of those android tablet head units but would also need some advice on where to find one that would fit and wiring advice as i assume its not just plug and play

all responses are greatly appreciated and excuse my ignorance, i have no idea what im doing!
