I'd recommend a similar setup to what I had, but I would get a better head unit for the system. The previous owner before me put that Sony one in there because you could change its color to match the dash. It's not that great though... it doesn't give you much audio control. A small stealth box like the one EvoAuto sells on NASIOC is pretty good, an Alpine or better head unit, something small like an Alpine Type R and a 600W or so amp would bang pretty hard.
It depends on how much bass you want. If you plan on tracking the car like you've told me, I'd try to keep the weight as low as possible... which would mean no heavy subs. The speakers in there now are pretty solid, there just isn't much bass =) All the speaker wires are still there if you want to get it hooked up!
Even something smaller like an 8" sub would sound good, or you could possibly look into the factory Subaru under-seat subwoofer. People used to talk a lot of shit about it, but I swear it sounded really good in my old WRX man. It was plenty of bass without getting crazy.
