It would be worth doing a search and/or posting your questions on the Mk5
ICE forum at
http://www.uk-mkivs.net/forum/. I've got a MK5 and you're
right, you need to replace the standard unit ASAP if you want decent sound.
However, general consensus tends to be that the speakers are pretty good.
Why not replace the HU first, see how it sounds and do the speaker upgrade
if necessary?
