Default Head unit question for C5

Hello,

please bare with me as I’m very new to the audio game. I’m looking to upgrade the head unit in my 2001 C5Z.

I was looking at this Alpine and was wondering if it would support a sub if I wanted to do one later on down the road.

Are there any other ones you guys would recommend for under that $300 mark?

I also thought about buying these rear speakers since they aren’t too expensive and they seem easy to swap out.

thank you for your help!

Do the links work? I’m on my phone now and it looks like they don’t.
