The late model radio is a drop in replacement for your current radio. Your current speakers will work but will not be ideal due to their higher impedance. Lots of options in the aftermarket.

Also, if you install a 06-13 HK radio, the AVC (automatic volume control) will not work due to the change in the speed sensor signal. As Ed indicated, you may want to switch to 2 ohm speakers if you use a later model radio.  (or adding an amp)

I would go aftermarket, cheaper and usually better.
