Default Cheap and cheerful upgrade

Hi,

I`m tight on cash and no audiophile so don`t laugh...

I`ve had a cheap Samsung mini system for the past 7 years, it claims
2x40Rms and is pretty loud for a smallish room, has been a very good
buy. I`m getting a bit fed up of the lack of decent low and high
frequencies, muddy low frequencies and general lack of warmth/depth.
I`m considering spending the minimum of cash to improve things, either

1.) better second hand speakers (car boot / ebay) to replace cheap
supplied ones. Does cabinet size make much of a difference to sound
quality?
2.) better speakers and a cheap second hand amp fed from line-out of
existing system.
3.) possibly pick up an end of line basic amp/speakers package
4.) Are there any decent kits out there, i`m not too bad with a
soldering iron

This is a cheap `n cheerful solution until i`ve paid off my student
loan and I start earning real money.

Cheers,

Ed.
