Looking to improve the sound of my "new" Aveo

[Geo]

600 watts will be plenty for a little bass! Even the littlest bit will do ya' good, Pickles.

As for adding sound quality, any aftermarket speaker could defiantly use some extra power. Luckily for the OP, he can get that from the aftermarket HU.

My advice: get some 2 or 3 way speakers for the front, absolutely as big as you can fit in the door. Do yourself a favor and upgrade from the 4x6's That size speaker could probably do nothing in terms of reproducing any kind of bass, which would be a nice touch since you're trying to bump up SQ a little bit.

I just put in Alpine 6 1/2's in the front. Sounds much better



My computer is wiggin out and I couldn't rotate the pic

Which Alpines did you put in there? 1" spacer? Can you get the windows down all the way still?

I'm sure that I probably can't get them down all the way. I was too tired to play with the housing to make a decent fit. I'll let you know tonight how I make out

[Geo]

I'm going to go with 1 inch spacers. It should be enough space for the windows to fully come down. Hopfully I can find them locally

[Geo]

Ok, so the bigger speakers did not work out the way I wanted them to. I purchased a variety of spacers and they sat out too far to put the door panel back on. I guess you could cut the space on the door panel where the speakers sit.

[ExtraElectric]

Well, I'm pretty sure there are slim pioneers that fit with a spacer. I'll probably get those rather than start cutting into the door.

Also, if I got a new HU, would I be able to keep the steering wheel controls? I found a topic on it, but there were no replies...

[Geo]

Good to know =] and I'm not quite sure about the controls. I don't have any

I'm hoping to get a better sound system going in my 2009 Aveo5 too. Just tinted the windows (i know, I need to get pictures up) and also plan on installing cruise control. Really want a good sound system in my car. If I get some shallow 6.5's in the front and 4x6's in the back. Think this will add enough crispness in the sound and bump up the bass? Will I need to get an amp. Not sure how or where to install one of those. Not to car savy, but I'm hoping to learn with some simple modifications. Any recommendations on speakers for both the front and back? Thanks!

just about any 4x6 will be very little improvement. 6x9s are where its at
