Advice Needed on HiFi Upgrade

I have a 2007 MCS with the $500 HiFi factory upgrade.

A local high-end auto stereo shop I visited on Saturday said that to do a significant upgrade I had to redo the entire system: replace the speakers, and add a 5 channel amp and subwoofer. Very expensive.

Can the optional HiFi be significantly upgraded by just replacing speakers? Is this shop just "working" me? If so, can anyone recommend speakers? Does anyone know of a good shop in the Chicago area with fair pricing?

Also, has anyone just kept the HiFi alone, and done only sound proofing? I'm also considering F&R dynamat without any HiFi upgrade. What did that do? Did it improve the sound and quiet the cabin (which I think is noisey)?

I really don't know what to do. Any advice would be great.
