Default Upgrading my 2014 Ext. Cab STX crappy system

I am looking to upgrade my STX crappy audio. I don’t want to get into a wasp nest of components and all that professional audio stuff. I want simplicity. I might do some dynamat too. I want new door speakers, a nice powered sub or two and a new HU that keeps my steering wheel controls and plays nice with my iPhone 6+. My question is this, if I buy a new head unit (Pioneer or Alpine are my preferences so far) and new door speakers, will the door speakers require an amp to sound good and get a good sound level or should the HU push them pretty well? I am not looking for competition level stuff but I do like it loud.

Also, I need a couple of good options for either powered subs, or sub enclosures that will fit in my ’14 extended cab under the rear seat. I don’t mind running amps. I am familiar with them.

If you have any ideas for a complete setup, I am interested in that as well.

Disregard. I did a little research and came up with a better plan. I hope. This can be deleted or closed.

Or you could share your better plan so this thread is helpful for someone who might be in your same shoes later on down the road?
