Generally, a speaker upgrade will yield better results than a head unit upgrade. Of course, YMMV kasi dito since some stock head units sound horrible (they restrict the sound a lot) and that upgrading it first may yield better results. But given that most stock head units nowadays are of better quality na, my vote will go to a speaker upgrade muna.

May balak ka ba mag-amplifier? If not, I'll suggest lowering your budget to around the 7k mark. I've gotten more strict in my budgetary requirements na wherein before I will suggest a ceiling of 10,000php for non-amplified systems, nowadays I will limit it to 7,000php.

As some of you might have noticed, I'm a fan of JBL's 609C because at 5,000php I find it of tremendous value. Speaker construction palang panalo na. But if you insist, the RS6N won't disappoint din naman. If you're also into the more "upscale" brands, you can also check out Morel's entry-level Maximo 6 at around 7,000php (nagtaas na presyo nila lahat thanks to inflation).

For the head unit, pick one that fits your needs and budget. If you need Bluetooth, then get a model that has one. Parehas lang sound quality nila lahat -- what simply differs are the features (better screen, etc.).

After installation, fiddle with the EQ afterwards. Just tailor it according to your taste. Need more bass? Then a +1 or +2dB to the bass regions (50hz to 300hz) would be nice.
