Maaan, this video is exactly what I needed... Thank you for uploading this! I also own a Gt-line K5 (AWD) and I couldn't agree with you more, the sound on my stock speakers was very poor. I Just installed Kickers speakers and will head to Best Buy for a quote on the whole setup!
Thank you for the video and tour of your sweet K5, brother. I am always telling people to upgrade their car instead of paying a luxury price tag. Have a blessed day.
Dope… How have you been liking your sound upgrade since the install? Any other upgrades you made to the sound since, or has this been good enough for you.
So I’m trying to do the same thing to my Kia k5. Do you have a link for the same setup or how much this stuff would cost.? I got all stock right now and i hate it lol.
I think and all total I spent roughly $700. If you go to Best buy and tell them what you are trying to do they will give you a list of everything you need to buy
Nice! But can you still adjust the sound (EQ, balance, etc) via the car's screen? (just did a road test with a new Kia K4 yesterday and was so disappointed by the sound quality of the "6-speakers audio system"... if I buy that car, I will need to do a similar audio upgrade as yours...). Anyway, thanks for your video!
My salesman at Bob Johnson Kia was trying to convince me that the sound system sounded good. I told him if he said that one more time I would walk away on the cell. I made him admit that the sound system was trash. I also told him I had every intention of upgrade and as soon as I drove the car off the lot
Dude I bought the 24 Forte GT, the Harmon Kardon, which is usually good stuff, is AWFUL. The road noise drowns out the system for sure. I've been researching a total factory overhaul.
Well I already had the subwoofer and the amp for the subwoofer. So I only had to buy that amp for the highs, replace the door speakers, amp wiring kit and labor I think in all I spent about $550
I got a 23 gt line myself and man I couldn’t agree more Sound system is subpar asf. Def wanna upgrade the sound…. After I get my doors fixed from this damn scratch smh
@@caesarsteels no I was parking and was too close to a pole in the garage where I live. I believe I can def get it fixed though. Just hurt me because this is my first car and I love it
Possible for you to show us everything you bought? Or reply to this and tell me? Im interested in upgrading mine and couldn't see if that was all the stuff that you got. Like what specific speakers the kicker speakers are and everything like that.
Yea I test drove one of these today and I love every thing about it except the speaker system is garbage. Gonna have to do something like this when I get it. Also u know what they say about Bose? No highs, no lows, must be Bose
Hi Ceasar so I purchased the GT Line today and I would like it to be much louder and sounds smooth over all. do I need to buy basically everything you purchased to achieve that or is there any other equipment that you would suggest?
nice setup i have the 23 gt line and my music is fuckin trash like you said, my wifes bmw with Harmon Karden outs my new car to shame, if you dont mind what did best buy charge and how much was the total with everything thanks!
@@CYIQNCPLG-NH2 I think I spent a total of $650 for everything. Four door speakers, Alpine amp all the wiring, installation.... I already had the kicker mono amp and the 12-in kicker subwoofer.
You right, they are not trash.........THEY ARE ULTRA SUPER TRASH!... If you look up trash in a dictionary, you'll see every stock speaker from any car ever.

I got the same Kickers speakers shown in the video for 440 CAD from Crutchfield with Free shipping.
Do you have a complete list of everything you bought for the install? How do you like the results? Anything you might of done differently?
Hi, can you tell me how you extracted the audio from the original car audio system? The original car audio systems do not have amplifier outputs.
Best buy did all my work. They just gave me a list of everything I needed to buy

I test drove a 2024 GT today, first thing i noticed was the shitty sound system
My salesman at Bob Johnson Kia was trying to convince me that the sound system sounded good. I told him if he said that one more time I would walk away on the cell.

how much was the whole thing with the install
Well I already had the subwoofer and the amp for the subwoofer. So I only had to buy that amp for the highs, replace the door speakers, amp wiring kit and labor I think in all I spent about $550
How much did everything cost you ?
I got a 23 gt line myself and man I couldn’t agree more
Sound system is subpar asf. Def wanna upgrade the sound…. After I get my doors fixed from this damn scratch smh
Damn bro somebody put a scratch in your joint?
@@caesarsteels no
I was parking and was too close to a pole in the garage where I live. I believe I can def get it fixed though. Just hurt me because this is my first car and I love it
@@Jomael954 bro you got to be more careful..

You won't realize how bad the factory, even bose sounds , until you replace them.

No highs, no lows, must be Bose
The Bose system in the k5 is also trash
I have a 2017 with the Harmon Kardon system w/ the sub, it’s honestly not BAD, but I’m thinking about upgrading
Hi Ceasar so I purchased the GT Line today and I would like it to be much louder and sounds smooth over all. do I need to buy basically everything you purchased to achieve that or is there any other equipment that you would suggest?
