Default Recommendation for sound upgrade

The Bose system in my 10' GS sucks! I want to upgrade but need recommendations from those who have upgraded and can help me avoid pitfalls and false advertisement. When done, i would like for my system to provide the following:

Full fedelity sound
Deep, clean bass
Full soundstage
The HU should support all the latest tech connections and maybe NAV. Wifi is not a priority but would consider if not too expensive.

I listent to all types of music but I particularly smooth jazz and r&b.
I realize I will need to replace everything so I need recommendations for HU, speakers, amp (5 channel or saperates), sub. My budget is around 2k without install costs.

Thanks for your responses.
