What's your car? Can you simply swap the head unit with a 1DIN head unit easily? If yes, then I would suggest you get your preferred head unit according to your needs (ex. if you play from an iPod regularly, get one with iPod integration). It wouldn't really matter if you purchase a 6,000php one or the 2,000php.. sound quality is the same. You're simply paying for the features.
As to what head unit brand, Pioneer and Alpine are behemoths in aftermarket head units. There are some less-marketed ones such as Kenwood but, again, just go with the one which features you want.
As for the speakers, if your preferred brand is Pioneer, then by all means go for Pioneer speakers. I would just suggest separate components (tweeters and midbass separated) on the front so you can mount the tweeter off your windshield. Reason for this is that our ears uses high frequencies for imaging, doing this helps heighten your soundstage to near ear-level. A great way on how to replicate the benefits of this is to find any speaker: place one near your feet and then placing them on a table near your sitting height.
If you're having trouble mounting it, then simply get pods and just double-tape them on your dash. If your manufacturer or installer can't provide you with pods, go buy some styrofoam balls, cut them up... then use those as pods. Ugly if you don't have it painted but it would work even better than most conventional pods manufacturers produce. This is because a round pod is great in diffusion.. the only thing better than them are tear-dropped shaped pods.
And no, there's no such thing as matching.
Personally, if I had 10k, I would wait around until somebody's selling a secondhand Alpine CDA-9887 for around 7,000php and use the rest of the 3,000php for speakers.Last edited by jhnkvn; May 30th, 2013 at 02:43 PM.

There's a very exact reason why I do not highly recommend any budget speakers. It's because in the reproduction of audio inside the car, speakers aren't your main enemy.. it's your environment. I daresay more than a thousand of my total Tsikot post count revolves around it. It's like playing an first-person shooter game armed with a keyboard but without a mouse to aim the crosshair. You're doing it wrong.
If anybody wants any proof, the most important in a car is DSP or any form of signal processing. I'll go snatch from files from Harman International's white papers.

Sure, good speakers helps. But you're simply throwing money away in most cases.

i had the same dilemma of the TS 2 days ago, and kahapon, naisipain ko ng palitan yung stock speakers which really sounds crap.
nagpainstall ako ng Targa X502C seps sa harap, and Targa X502 coax naman sa likod, budget setup lang, just to replace the stock ones,
and when i tested it, definitely way better compared to stock, hindi na nga ako nageexpect ng sobrang ganda before install, kasi mura lang,
pero it exceeded what i want for my "background" music. not an audio junkie, pero for the price i paid, sulit na sulit yung binayad ko.
makalansing lang yung tweeters ng targa seps, binabaan ko nalang sa equalizer ng HU. ngayon relax na sa tenga.
