Unregistered guest | I have an '03 Sonata and am planning to upgrade all of the speakers in it. Here is the problem: I have heard the norm/usual set up is to put 2-way's in the back and 3-way's in the front. Well, the Sonata comes stock w/ tweeters seperate from the door speaker. My upgrade calls for Kappa's, so my question is, should I put 2-way's in the door and in the back and buy the component tweeters for replacing the front tweeters, or is there a better solution? |

Then, you can put the woofer in the factory door location and the tweeter in the stock tweeter location. As far as the rear, I'd recommend either midbass drivers or 2 ways, you don't want rear fill to be overly bright. |

Those stock speakers are not as good as they look. It only costs them like $5. The sound difference between stock and component is night and day. |

Or if you really wanna go all out get a sub and a monoblock amp for the trunk! |
Unregistered guest | Got the Kappa's and got them installed, but it is quite a big cluster f**k. I think there is already an amp in there (stock) because of wire colors. Can't find it though and I am reluctant to pull entire dash to find it.... |
Unregistered guest | Well, found the schematic and amp placement in my car. I didn't get premium sound so, no amp. I am still stumped on how the wires changed color, though. Anyway, I am confident in my installation now that I have seen the diagrams. In either case, I found it at www.hmaservice.com under "service information" and "web tech". Glasswolf, Jonathan, and all of you other regulars, if you find anyone looking for hyundai info, refer them to that site! Until I upgrade or need help again...THANKS!!!! |
