[QUOTE="uriel250, post: 8869442, member: 681757"] A friend purchased a new 2024 Kia Sportage, and he's dissatisfied with the car's sound system (Came with a basic 6 Speaker System - Not Harman Kardon 8 Speaker), intending to upgrade it using a subwoofer amplifier and speaker amplifier from his previous car (Alpine S-A60M + Rockford Fosgate T400-4). I have a few questions: [LIST=1] [*]Which speakers should he consider buying, and what size is suitable for this car? [*]Is there any issue with installing non-original speakers concerning the multimedia screen and safety systems? I've heard about non-original speakers causing problems with the safety systems (the beeping sound stopped working). [*]Does he need any external DSP? or is the car's multimedia screen sufficient? [*]He consulted with a store, and they suggested that adding an amplifier alone would provide a significant improvement (without replacing the speakers). Is it advisable to do this? [*]Will it harm the car warranty to make these audio system modifications? [/LIST] Thank you very much. [/QUOTE]
