i have a 98 mustang, and its got a stereo with a seperate single cd player underneith it, i want to replace the speakers, and possibly put in an amp. first of all, is there a factory amp? and if so, can i replace it with a bigger amp to avoid putting in a new cd player and amp and having to run new wires? the stereo now can't even push the stock speakers at half volume continuously without it getting louder and softer. also, what would be a good setup to get? im on a budget of about $800

you should swap the factory head unit and all speakers.
you can get a decent Alpine for $200 and four boston acoustics nx7 (5x7) and a four channel amp giving them 50 rms a piece. a buddy of mine has the same setup and sounds really good. surprisingly good bass for not having a sub also.

so can you use the factory wiring or do u have to run new wires to the speakers? in other words, if the car has a factory amp, can u replace that so you dont have to run new wires?

As long as you don't have a mach system or have any coroded wires, then you should be fine with the factory wiring.
