    Hey guys just curious. Thanks! DS1-204 | MB Quart
  2. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I am installing a LC2I in my car which I will be connecting it to my rear sub. I noticed there are 4 wires connected to that sub. I called LC2i and they said to connect the wires to the left side only. Sorry noob question if someone can make this more clear from me that would be great...

    Hey guys - anyone else here have the window visors on their car for a couple years and noticed they are very faded or sub bleached? They used to have such a nice shine on them (like tinted windows), but now look very bad especially on a black car. I know they are cheap, but prefer not to...

    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...

    Hey how's it going I just purchased a 2012 kia optima with the infinity sound system and I like the sub and all but I was looking to upgrading down the road to some thing better. My question is cab I mount a new sub in the same opening and what size amp comes stock with the vehicle

    I like the idea of putting an enclosed box in my back seat. Rarely do I have backseat passengers, and I could just discconnect the sub on that rare occasion. Currently, I have a sealed box that barely fits. Which is barely acceptable for anybody under about 6' for putting the seat back enough...

    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...

    I have an aftermarket sub in trunk and want to remove the factory. I figure the extra air flow will be good and the old sub won't be flapping around like a cheap wh$&e.

    I recently upgraded all 4 of my speakers in my LX to Infinity Reference 6032cf Amazon.com : Infinity Reference 6032cf 6.5-Inch 180-Watt High-Performance 2-Way Speakers (Pair) : Vehicle Speakers : Car Electronics I know many people swear by the Kappa series but I find the tweeters too harsh for...

    I have noticed that my factory 8in rear deck sub is blown. It looks like it is held in place by rivets instead of screws, so how do I remove it to replace it? Do the factory subs go out often? If so, have anyone installed an aftermarket subwoofer in its place in the rear deck? I have an...

    I just finished installing my Infinity Reference speakers and it sounds 1000x better already but now I have the bug... The speakers say 60W RMS 180 watt max and are 2 ohm Is it safe to run something like this? JL Audio JX360/4 (JX3604) 360W RMS 4-Channel Class A/B JX Series Car Amplifier at...

    Hello everyone, I did a search for what I was looking for but was unable to find anything (well I did find info about the trunk lid rattling and such, but I digress). I just have a quick opinion question that I am hoping some of you more season car stereo aficionados can help me with. I have a...

    Hey guys, Im at the final stages of finishing installing my old stereo system into my optima. I was going to post this question to that thread but I kind of need a quick answer and need to get straight to the point. I have a elemental design 15" dvc 2ohm sub and a tsunami 1100d which is a...

    I plan on adding a sub to my optima with the infinity system. I have a LOC high to low converter but I have no idea how to hookup to the sub. The sub has 4 inputs going to it and I metered the lines and only 1 input has sound going to it. So I am not sure which wires to use. I saw some threads...

    I did the research on the site to see how amazing complicated it is just to get to the radio wire harness and wonder if I should just pop the door panels off and wire directly into those wires for the HLIP.. Anyone have experience with this same thing? What did you do? ---------- Post added at...

    Now that i have unleashed the fusion by scrapping the stereo shop's junk LOC and adding the Audio control lc2i what should the crossover on the amp be set to typically?

    Hey Guys, I did a quick search and found nothing on this but forgive me if I missed it somewhere. I am getting ready to put a box and amp from a previous setup I had into my optima, that stock infinity sub just aint' cuttin it! I am pretty handy when it comes to cars, however...
