Need Help Buying a Car Stereo

Hi.

I want to get a replacement for the "basic" factory radio/cassette unit... I
want a single CD and cassette features that won't break the bank but beyond
that I don't know what to look for.

My questions:

For the stock speakers, is there a max. power rating I should be aware of?
I'll probably upgrade the stock speakers eventually, but not right away.

What brand is best/longest lasting.

I want better than stock sound but, again, don't want to break the bank...
What minimum features should I look for?

Is yanking out the stock unit a simple task or do I need to have it
professionally done?

I don't plan to do this initially but are most units "ready" out of the box to
handle a remote multiple CD changer/holder?

TIA to all you stereo buffs!
Tom
