You could put a small sub under the seat e.g. kenwood

or Pioneer:

If you want to see what fits for speakers etc try:
www.crutchfield.com
Just click on outfit my car, or go to 'car audio and video' and click on 'outfit my car'....You can select your vehicle and it gives you options based on whether u have the base or premium audio and navigation......

I replaced the speakers with after market. The base stereo speakers are complete cr*p. They have no weight. I think the tweeter must not even have a magnet going by the weight! The head unit handles the new Blaupunkt velocities I intalled. (Vc 172)
http://www.blaupunkt.com/sg/7606343000_main.asp
They cost $218 from Ryda plus delivery. Very impressed, the frequency response goes as low as 40 htz! not bad!
For the rears I have found a deleted line of woofer only.
Blaupunkt VMW165:
Max Power rating: 80 watts
Nominal Power rating: 40 watts
Impedance: 4 Ohm
Frequency Response: 45 – 8,000 Hz
Sensitivity: 90 db
Mounting Depth: 45.5mm
Cone Material: Spun Aluminium (SAC) – copper.
$74
I have set the front tweeters to +3db as the rers will not have a tweeter.
The fronts sound great.
I would have put the Vc 172 speakers in the rear and not used the tweeter but the car is leased and did not want to pay for them. But that is the better idea as they are matched and have a bttter low down response.
