Default Audio speaker advice needed

I'm not ashamed to admit the one automotive skill I lack is audio knowledge. I cant even recall what aftermarket head unit is installed in my 08 base,(Pioneer touch screen I think) that's how little I pay attention to audio. I had a friend tell me my stock speakers are junk and an upgrade is long over due but gave no advise as to what I needed. I do know there is no aftermarket amp and I have no plans to install one. I've read numerous threads and looked at Crutchfield's web site and still have no clue what to get. Please keep it simple and help me shop for speakers. Thanks

I replaced my Bose back in June with a Kenwood HU, certainly improved the sound. Then I added JL Audio C2 speakers front and rear, even more improvement in sound and quality, I also stayed with factory sizes and left the 10inch sub in the door.
