2001 Ford KA sound system upgrade?

I've just bought a ford KA and want to get a sound upgrade for it, although I know nothing about cars. I don't want to get a subwoofer but I don't know what my other options are. I've been looking at stereos but will this actually improve the sound or is it just there to look cool? Any help/ suggestions appreciated
Thanks
