Default 1996 es300 need help new speakers and amp

Hi
I have replaced my stock stereo with Sony CDX-GT310 , but the sound is not good. first i need to know if there is a factory amplifier and sub installed on this car if yes where wre they located?

what else i can do to improve it on the budget.
should I first try changing front speakers and then back and then sub with amp or just ad the sub to the sony as it says sub output?
any help will be greatly appreciated

Get a better head unit if you can before doing anything else. I would get a good component system up front and sound deadener the doors before worrying about the rear speakers

1st, you need the integration for the factory amp. But if new speakers are going to be installed, i would bypass the factory amp and connect directly to HU.

Default do I gave the factory amp?

I don't think I have factory amp and wofer in the car.
I went to the Frys store and the4 istallation guy told me since the car does not says premium sound it does not have the factiory amp or woofer and if there was an amp it was in the factory installed cd player which was removed by aftermarket sony cdx 310.
