Alright so I want to upgrade from my stock speakers because they are just awefull. The max volume is not even loud and the base completely masks everything on a bass y song. I have a 2007 Chevy aveo, 6 speaker 4 Dr sedan. Looking for good quality for not too much obviously, just so my ride into work every morning isn't boring , th cheaper the better. Also will I need a head unit If I upgrade speakers? Won't be having a sub just the 6 speakers and I've no idea what will sound good. I listen to more electronic music than anything. Could I
get a set up for $250? :D

Thanks

you will need a new head unit or a 4 channel amp.

if you have a sat nav head unit you can keep it and run a 4 channel amplifier

if you have a crappy regular head unit you can replace it with a new one with more power, features, quality etc.

you will be unhooking the tweeters completely....no reason to replace 2 tweeters when you are about to put 4 new ones in anyways.

let me know what the plan is for the head unit...if its crap then replace it because it simplifies things.

First off, thanks for actually telling us what kind of car you have.

New speakers won't make it louder.
New speakers and a new head unit will make it louder.

Rockford Fosgate Punch series speakers (around $50.00/pair) and a new Kenwood h/u will make it sound much better.
A new h/u can range from $100.00 up to like $1,000.00

Alright, I'll just assume I'm getting a new head unit.

So I need a new head unit, and 6 speakers, is there specific speakers for front middle back? And I have a 10" type s sub I got for free, don't want to set it up now but how much would it cost to Set it up in the future? :D

Could you link a cheaper head unit, front speakers mid speakers and rear speakers with proper sizes that I can just buy :3 my buddy knows how to put this stuff in apparently, I just have to supply Booz/ meal xD the pinch series looks cool, though idk which ones go where :)

Edit: the sonic site has all the punch series ones that fit the doors, but they don't have it in stock for the back on top, does it matter if it's another brand? And if so what would go good? Also have no idea on a head unit..

Maybe the rear speakers could be a bit more bassy than the others? :o idk..

Go to here http://metraonline.com/
and punch in your car and it will spit out what speaker sizes you need and also all of the installation parts you need for a head unit.
The dash kit, wire harness adapter and an antenna adapter.

You should just get coaxial speakers for the front and the back and eliminate the front 1" tweeters all together.

As far as a head unit goes, just go to sonic and pick out a Kenwood or a JVC.
Whichever one has a price you like and features you want.

i wouldn't run more than 4 speakers on 1 headunit :) so skip the back doors and just go for frontdoor + rear shelf

unitl you get yourself a 4 channel amp :) could probs go to nearest scrapyard
