Okay so im going to be running components in front and rear, im installing with two amps, I need to rewire my car while im doing the sound dampening and im wondering if anyone knows which fasteners are used in the aveo's door and rug? as well as any other fasteners used in the counsol and panels on the sides??? Id rather have all those before i begin tearing everything apart since i will want everything put together asap. Please advise!
I don't have pictures. Most fasteners will just pop and can be reused if treated properly.

If I remember, I can take a few pictures tonight. This is a good question, where is a source for carpet and door fasteners? What does the pro use?
I found this page and the prices are very much unreasonable. I have seen a good number of these exact fasteners on the Aveo.

I think you just need to pull the door and see what you got. Maybe this should become a sticky thread for the audio/interior section is a list of fasteners and sources with pictures.

Yeah thanks for the heads up, I will probably pop a panel and check the rug and see what i got under there. Ebay has cheap parts.

I have basically stripped my aveo, the only thing I haven't taken out yet is the dash. the door panels, seats, front pillars, center console, center pillars for the front seat belts and all the lower panels are all easy to remove. the rear pillars with the quarter panel windows, that is where it can be a pain with the retaining clips. its been a while since i have stripped the car down doing audio, but if i remember correctly you have to pull a couple clips then slide the pillar towards the front of the car to remove it. after that you can remove hand grips then the headliner and carpet.
yeah thats exactly how i did it. looks and sounds great. i only broke one fastener after all that stuff i removed. the only thing i didnt take out was the ceiling liner and dashboard. took about 20 hours from start to endQuote:

nice, and your keeping to the same brand. I'm a little mixed with my components right now. I'm trying to start saving for a new system build. its addicting.
I agree, next build i do will be an active system. If you have the cash at space i'd suggest 8's. Theyre big but damn can they play.
