would it make a difference if i changed all speakers in the car with after market ones ? if yes which ones, and i dont want to pay to expensive... and will they fit with the stock radio..... also i would like to put a sub in the future, i no i have to change the radio (well at lease i think) is it hard to change is the wire ring simple like a chevy pickup....
thanks ! and around how much is this ?
their really isnt a simple answer to your question other than yes after market speakers will improve the sound of music in the aveo. price wise and for what type, their are SO MANY companies that make decent to great speakers for very little to really high cost. what you need to do is figure out what you want when you are done with your stereo, then it will be easier to figure out what you can go with. An aftermarket stereo makes things alot easier too. depending on what year your aveo is, you can get a radio harness kit and mounting kit for $10 to $20. JL Audio has something called a cleansweep, other companies have similar products, but its a way to add amps and all sorts of other audio equip with the stock radio.
yeah and my aveo is 2010
Does your aveo have on-star installed (it doesnt have to be activated)?Quote:

I bought mine through Crutchfield. Easy plug and play:

All in all, I think that took me ~ 2 hours to install with taking a ton of breaks. The hardest part was not following a DIY and figuring out which pieces come off where in the dash.
But he's right, start with a decent head unit and you won't be sorry.
Mine is a 2010 by the way. Crutchfield had the wiring harness and the din install kit. Just go to their website while you're shopping around and you can find everything you will need.
that looks clean,, but i could not find the plastic thing that you put the head unit in ???
Ebay or crutchfield. when you have the new radio, their will be wires coming off the back, the harness that will be specific for the car will splice into the wires coming of the new radio, the radio wires and harness wires should all match up, once harness and radio wires are properly secured, the harness will plug directly into the harness that you will unplug from the stock radioQuote:

The stock radio is a double din; however, you might choose to go with a single din aftermarket radio like I did. Then you will have an empty space below your aftermarket head unit. Whatever you do, take your time and don't rush into something or go to a car audio place and have them talk you into paying wayyy too much for crap you don't need.Quote:

Once you have decided on the sound you are looking for, deaden the vehicle with a sound deadening product like second skin, dynamat, rammat,etc... Then buy your audio equipment, your audio equipment will not have to fight the vehicle as much to produce the sound you want to achieve. Enjoy your quest to better sound quality.
