@MrJPelectronics Yeah I do don’t drop the screws cause you’ll never find
then again and also there are 2 types of wiring harness you can get one for
using a stock amp if you have one… and the other is if your going to use
the head unit to power the speakers. and I do love my head unit with the
ipod capability but the cord is a rip off 25 bucks look on ebay for one,
And also i have thought about it why not get a Double din head unit cause
now i have my gps and if i would have just spent the…
@MrJPelectronics Money on the double head unit then I wouldn’t have had to
buy a GPS cause most are built in a double head unit.and yes the double
would work and probably look allot cleaner and sound better more wattage if
you don’t use the Stock amp…I have alpine type R’s and a Alpine CDE-102
on clearence.and get what you prefer Pioneer or Alpine which ever you
prefer but if you can afford it get Double
Dude i promise its not when i bought mine the sales rep was like”you are
going to need some wire taps” so i tried it and fucked up my first light
that comes factory in the door. it is a small wire harness so i bought
another. I took out the t10 bulb and inserted the wires from the new shadow
lights into the terminals and placed the bulb in on top and talk about a
secure connection haha but it looks good may upload a video later on
tomorrow but i promise its easy
Great tut man even though i already knew how to do it but it is nice to see
a fellow optima owner try and help the community. btw have you ever thought
of installing leds in the door panel, instrument cluster or the ghost
shadow lights under the door? i have some and wondered have you ever
considered trying that mod?
Hey 😀 Nice video, I have a kia optima 2001, this helped! I have a question
for you: do you have any idea how to remove the 6x9s from the back ledge? I
can’t seem to figure out how to get the speaker grills off the ledge, it
almost seems like they aren’t removable and come off with the carpeting or
something… Thanks 😀
Thanks for the video. My wife has a 2005 that looks exactly the same as
your car. Same Infinity system and dash panel. I am actually looking at the
same alpine head units for this project. Any thoughts on if a double din
deck would work? I was considering maybe doing an alpine monitor indash.
Instead of a flathead (Metal on plastic is a bad idea) go to the local
dollar store or Dollar General and get plastic paint mixers (there should
be three in a set). No harm to my console and I have done the remove 4
times so far.
Hey, this helped me to get the front off of it, and to get to the wires,
but i have a jvc kd-s26, and there are way too many wires on the kia radio
than my jvc. If I just electrical tape the unused wires, will I be able to
still have sound? (There isn’t a specific wire for the amp, is the biggest
question I have about doing it.)
Well if you bought a new headunit you will need a wireing harness for you
make and model of your car you shouldn’t have an loose wires. and please
never tape unused wires together just tape off each individual wire.
I have though about adding lights to the door’s when you open the doors but
to much work for a lil mod unless their is an easier way to do that lol
probably not though
