After having my hopes raised by posts on this forum that a bad connection on the external amp in our 2011 Hybrid with UVO might be the cause of the sound disappearing, I searched the recess behind pass. side rear fender but found nothing. Aware that my search was hampered by cold weather and the...

I have a 2013 Optima LX I just picked up. It has the basic head unit not the upgraded Infinity version. The question, Is the wiring back to the trunk area there (where the amp would be)? I am not looking to do a whole new sound system as it is going to be more of a back and forth to work car...

Hello. My OEM amplifier just went out and I'd like to replace it myself as I'm over the mileage warranty and Kia wants to charge me $1600+. Can anyone tell me where exactly the amplifier is located? Also, would it be possible to replace the stock amplifier with a third-party one? Say Alpine? I...

2015 Optima EX with 16,000 miles. Yesterday I was listening to my radio and all was good but today I get no sound at all from any mode including Bluetooth and speech. I checked all fuses and they are all good. I looked online and see that this is apparently a pretty coming issue with our...

On my 2015 Optima, the terminals on the battery are covered in fancy plastic housings (my first car that has had this as most older cars just had the terminals out in the open). When connecting your amp's power cable, did you remove this power terminal housing or maybe cut a hole into for your...

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out the best location to hook up a sub amp power and ground on the car. I have a 2013 SX. I'm planning on putting the amp in the trunk. I'm on my second attempt at making the audio in my car sound better. My first set up was a Sundown SA-10 and a CT Sounds 750.1...

In previous vehicles, I have always connected the positive for my amp(s) directly to the battery. I have seen some of the installs on the forum, and some people are on the positive terminal--while others are on a post in the fuse box. Is there 1 right way? Is there a definite wrong way? I...

I replaced all 4 door speakers and they are underpowered with the OEM UVO headunit. Crutchfield recommended the Apline Power Pack 180W because it plays well with stock head units and is easy to install. Anyone using it? If so, where did you mount it? There is no room behind the glove box nor...

Hey everybody, So I am getting the bass itch and thinking I want to add a nice class D mono amp, and a 10" sub, I have the installation skills, but since I never dealth with a car that has so much electronics, I might want to ask the KIA family. I am leaning towards the Polk PA D1000.1, it...

Do the factory amp have a gain control that can be adjusted? I ask this before I pull my trunk panels apart for nothing.

I feel like using an LOC would give you more control and also more amp options.. Can anyone chime in on this? I am about to order an amp and powered sub and want to know what I should do...

Hello all. I recently wired my whole system for audio. I kept the factory Radio, cut and spliced all new speaker wire behind the radio, ran new wiring underneath the center channel under the carpet and wired the LOC in the trunk. I have amped all 4 speakers and a subwoofer as well. Currently I...

Shortly after I got my optima last July, I had an amp professionally installed (not custom, but professional), and I asked the tech to give me an extra two feet of wire on the remote so I could put in a 12v rocker switch as a kill switch. Everything worked great. Not long after, I got a little...
