    2013 Kia Optima SXL with Infinity system with Navigation in my vehicle. I had successfully tapped a LOC2S converter into the wires going INTO the stock amp in the back and system was working for almost 2 years with no issues. Hit a bump one day and it never came back with sound, though sub amp...

    I cannot seem to find this information anywhere... From what I have found so far, it seems the infinity stereo systems of the SX and SXL models use 4 ohm speakers. I have the 2013 LX, with the base stereo, and the drivers of the speakers were miniscule. I am assuming they were 2 ohm, or maybe...
  3. 4th Generation Optima (2016 - 2020)
    I'm on the fence about a speaker upgrade. I'm not sure if I should just add a sub woofer in the back or replace the door panel speakers. I've had an audio installer guy say that the stock speakers on a 2018 optima LX are better than average and only need a DSP for an improvement. Anyone that has...

    Got a 2015 Forte Sx but the sound system sucks. I'm wondering if I could just buy OEM infinity speakers and swap them where the existing speakers are, I'm presuming the connectors would be the same? This way it would be plug and play and my car would sound like my old Optima. I'm not sure...

    So do aftermarket speakers really make that much of a difference with the stock head unit?

    I know that there's a separate forum for my question but for now I'm restricted to posting here. I've been reading post on here but I'm still really confused on speaker replacement. Can anyone tell me if I should be buying components for front and back or coaxials? I will be keeping the oem h/u...

    I drive a 2013 SXL and I have had issues with my front speakers. I had my left driver side one replace about a year ago because I noticed that it some times made a popping sound during certain parts of songs with a certain type of bass. Not too long after it was replaced I noticed the same...

    I am doing an install in my 16 optima tomorrow and am retaining the factory headunit so if anyone knows the colors of the factor speaker wires I would appreciate it.

    I'm exactly 2 years into this car. Still love it. I blew the drivers side dash speaker, since the system is starting to sound a little worn, just not as clean and clear as it once was. Could be my old ears, or likely the poor dash speaker throwing off the stage, however in an attempt to keep the...

    I'm going to tap into my rear passenger door speaker via the passenger side B pillar to hook up my line output converter for my amp. I just need to know which wires are for the speaker if someone can help me out with the colors of the rear passenger speaker. I found this post but it doesn't...

    Hey guys hoping someone else has had this problem and it's not too much of a hassle to remedy. I was driving home from work today listening to music and I got a call on my Bluetooth through the car. As soon as the conversation ended and the music came back I realized that all of the speakers on...
