AntiSin 1st Gear June 12, 2019 Share June 12, 2019 Anyone here has managed to change the car speakers for KIA cerato? Any brand of speakers to recommend? Entry level will do. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will4081 2nd Gear June 13, 2019 Share June 13, 2019 Anyone here has managed to change the car speakers for KIA cerato? Any brand of speakers to recommend? Entry level will do.That’s relatively easy to upgrade . There are two screws per door, then the door panels are fixed with clips all around. The woofers are 165mm but you need spacers (MDF or kia 4 screws) unless you use shallow mounting speakers. If you listen mostly to radio, the EX / SX factory speakers are actually ok. The factory woofers are not coaxial so I guess no tweeters in the L. If you want to upgrade, get your hands on some decent speakers in sale if you can. I usually recommend the entry level from Focal (for jazz, classical, rhythm & blues, vocals..) or JBL (rock, house...). Make sure to get speakers with high sensitivity (in the 92 dB or so) so you’ll get good power output from the factory HU. I went with Focal ISU 165 and ICU 165 and they sound very good direct from the HU. Further than that, you’ll want to look for time alignment and eq but that’s a game of diminishing returns. Most people will be very happy just by upgrading the speakers. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinceng Turbocharged June 13, 2019 Share June 13, 2019 Many who have secured COE are anxious to collect their brand new Cerato. If you have traded in your car, it's to your advantage to drag and delay the collection date, as your existing car depreciates in value daily, and you get to register your new Cerato at a later date, which can fetch a higher price when you eventually sell it.

TVaddict 1st Gear June 16, 2019 Share June 16, 2019 Guys, I have been hearing some rattling sound from the driver side aircon vent every now and then especially go through rough surfaces.. Anyone has the same experience? On a side note my HU keeps switching from FM to USB automatically. Quite irritating. Updating the software also doesn't solve the issue.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
