Where did you tape the speaker out? just before the amp? did you have to cut the wire, it doesn't seems like any harness exist yet. Is the amp 4 or 6 chanel? where does the frontstage speakers signal split otherwise? i'd prefet to instal the crossover in the trunk

Lol yep me too. I just traded my F150 for a Kia Optima turbo last night.

Nice work on the amp rack. Coming along good!

That Bit One should make a world of difference!

I'm installing the Alpine H660 in my 2011 Sonata. Do you have any pictures or insight into tapping the OEM wiring after the amp? I have the Deminsion amp that I'll be tapping into. I was thinking about a terminal strip for ease of installation, but I'm curious to see how you did it.

Great build, and a ton of help - cant wait to see the finished product.

search thru this thread and find the guy who did a sound system on a hyundai genesis. He used some GM harnesses to make an easy plug-n-play connection going to his aftermarket stuff. Then added on another connector to his oem outputs, to revert back to stock wiring in the future if need be.

Thanks.

OK, guys I'm back.

I got nothing done during football season, as the weekends were nothing but beer and football.

I have not done anything to the car since the last pictures I posted, sorry for not answering you guys back, but this is the first time I've looked at the site in months.

To answer the questions about tapping in to the factory amp, I tapped into the outputs right after the amp. This way I could still hear my nav directions and handsfree calls through the speakers. It works wonderful! The amp is located in the trunk compartment on the passenger side. As far as the wiring I dont remember off hand which wires were which, but if you have a Hyundai you can go to the hmaservice website and it'll tell you. I'm sure there is a website simular for the Kia.

To awnser the question about the battey termina, I don't remember, I'll check later today and get back with you.

Nice and clean build....how was the install of the spectrum? Do you have any pictures and what were your thoughts and review on using it?

Didn't use the spectrum, I will give it a go whenever the weather gets nicer but I'll let you know how it went.

I'm in the process of a 2010 Hyundai Elantra Touring build that focuses on acoustics and SQ - my first install, on my first car (I'll start a thread when I have equipment in hand - currently just working on the roof). I love seeing the similarities in other Hyundai models. Great build going on here - keep us updated.

[Dekciw]

Awesome build interested in how the spectrum works out!

[pmishin]

Great work! I have the same car and this gave me some good ideas.

[Roberto]

Very nice system with clean installation and lovely car.

[blackedoutavy]

I promise you guys one day I will find time to finish this project. I just don't have much time lately to mess with it. Now football season is right around the corner....
