- The Kia Forte is an affordable car with many premium offerings. One of these is a very decent Harman Kardon audio systems with eight speakers, including a subwoofer. While it's not as impressive as the Mazda 3 Bose, it is strong for the price.

Thanks for showing the infotainment and sound system. There aren't many people showing those off. Keep up the good work!
Better than I was expecting! Props to Kia for making quality yet affordable sound systems.
i increased the volume in the car by increaseing volume to max on my android phone.
I think Google just released an AA update to fix the issue with Kia/Hyundai widescreen issues
My 2023 GT Manual has wireless CarPlay. Two large speaker grills on the rear parcel shelf are evidently for looks only. The sound is concentrated up front to a fault. It sounds good but doesn’t surround you or your passengers. Would be better if the rear parcel shelf speakers were there and added to the experience. But all that said, I love driving this car! It looks great and feels solid.
Seriously thinking about this exact same model. Does the 23 manual also have Harman sound system?
How does your system have wireless CarPlay? I thought the 10.25in display only offered wired carplay
I can't get wireless android auto on my gt manual. What is your secret?
Didn’t really know what it meant to have wireless CarPlay. I was referring to the ability to listen to music, etc from your phone without plugging in. I guess I don’t see the need to mirror my phone’s Home Screen on the car’s display. Never mind.
@@michaelmcneal9808😂😂😂
This is a beautiful cat ! 🔥🚗💯
Super clear audio…. But i feel like it just doesnt get loud enough\bass doesnt hit to hard if you really want to push it. Im a metalhead, i like to feel the kickdrum😀
I tuned up the bass to 7 and the treble and mid up 1. It sounds a lot better now.
@@stiffzombie1537I've been messing with a bunch. 5 T, 3 M, 7 B. That seems like a pretty good combo as well. I'm going to try the one you suggested next
I just hope it sounds as god as my 2015 Buick Verano Bose sound system did that thing was a beauty!
My 2017 hyundai Elentra limited stock speakers were so good bro. Car is totaled don’t think I can find anything to match.
I’m assuming this system is amplified; does anybody know what the RMS is on the amp, as well as the sub? I’m curious about the speaker sizes as well, are they similar to those of the first Gen Elantra GT (6.5 woofer + 0.70” tweeter component, 6.5 co-ax in the back) ?
Great song first track
Im stuck between 2021 forte gt-line and 2022 forte lxs.. is the harmon kardon actually worth it in comparison?
How would you compare this to the 2022 Honda Civic Touring's system?
The sad thing is we can't really tell how the sound system sounds unless your in person I can't wait to experience it in person my self but good video explaining everything
I have a 2022 forte GT with this system. I think the fidelity and clarity are good but it just doesn’t seem very powerful. Some songs just don’t hit as hard is I’d expect without turning the volume to to 45-50
Also , it’s Harmon Kardon, not Harmon Hardon
I just purchased a 2023 and feel the same way :/. Will probably be replacing the speakers in the near future.
oh no I'm a bass head this might be an issue 🤐
Yeah your right it's not Powerful enough that's why I'm replacing my whole system with ds18
I found it good enough but my only issue is that you have to turn the volume almost all the way up to have a good hearing experience. Especially when driving on the highway. Seems like it isn’t loud enough. I had a harman kardon system in my old mercedes cla and that was so much louder and it engulfed you with its surround sound system.
Yea I think with old stuff things are much better my older audi had bose and man was it perfect I blew the front ones lol and put some Alpines in. I had a chance to sit in the Gt line yesterday and I know it doesn't have the Harmon kardon but I know it still won't be as good I just purchased a Gt and waiting on it I will likely just upgrade the speakers and put a sub
@@nutrl6955 I use apple carplay and there’s settings to raise the volume for the music and navigation and all the other things that come through carplay. But you cant do it with bluetooth and the normal fm stereo. Like I said it sounds good you just need to raise the volume pretty high if you like to be surrounded by the music.
I think the difference is that in Kia you’re going to get much less sound dampening in the doors and other parts of the body compared to a Mercedes, which is why you’ll have to turn up your audio to hear bass notes, mids, etc in an attempt to drown out the wind. You can purchase some sound deadening tapes/squares online which should help with this.
What would have made it an “A” tier system?
Is this system better than the k5?
I think the Mazdas with Bose sound system sound way better than this, right?
Definitely
My g37 Bose sound system sounds amazing so I'm probably gonna be pretty underwhelmed by this...
Plz do a new 2022 Chevy Silverado Bose sound system
Ik my dads one isn’t that good they have a low wattage system i think if you search it up as well you could find out more on it
nice
I just got this car not even a month ago. Love the car but my sound system does not sound good what so ever. I have tried everything to fix it. What happenes is when i play any song i can hear a high pitch frequency noise. I have tried diffrent phones and changes every setting in my car. The only thing i have not done yet is take it to the dealer ship. Was wondering before i do so if anyone has been having this issue and knows how to fix it.
have you updated to the latest software version USB
On my 23 gt2 the radio stations are alot louder than the xm stations. Is this normal?
Yes…XM sounds like garbage on every car
What do you give the Bose in the Si? I think you tested it prior to your rating system
I think it was a B. In the new si
I had a brand new 2020 civic SI with the premium sound. Not even close to my 2022 Forte GT manual with the Harmon kardon!
Take the factory subwoofer out, 2 8 inch subwoofers will fit in the back deck. Now you have some bass in stereo.
@@johnmadden2262 the 22 si has a 12 speaker Bose that’s much better than the Honda premium audio it replaced. Just trying to gauge where it sits now.
@@bim1376 We'll that's good because the 2020 barely had entry level sound quality! I know because I drove one off of the showroom floor [Rusy Wallis, Dallas Texas]
@@bim1376 I’m sure it is by a large margin. I had a 2018 civic coupe 1.5t and the subwoofer blew like 3 times. It was total garbage.
Doesn’t the forte have wireless Apple CarPlay / android auto?
only if it has the smaller (8") screen - apparently, any of the Kia/Hyundai systems with 10.25" and larger won't support wireless AA or Car Play. Several companies make adapter boxes (usually about $100) to covert to wireless but they are slow to boot and are really just a wired device that passes the AA / Car Play through....
My CarPlay music sounds so much quieter than the usb connect :(
I've owned a 24 Forte GT for a little over a month now, and I am extremely disappointed with the HK sound system. Lackluster and road noise will absolutely drown it out. I have to turn it up to well over 50 to hear it properly. I love the car, but the "premium" sound system is a bit of stretch.
The Bose sound system in the Hyundai Elantra nline premium sedan sounds better to me.
it's the same
@@roboticvenom1935 it's not. Bose does a better a job. The sub in the boot is bigger.
I'd simply just rip all that out add an all Fosgate system from A to Z then call it a day...
Make that song " i was a lover streambeats " in sound system review
I have the 2021 Kia Forte GT with the basic audio. The base is almost non existent :(
You said this car is price at $46k -$47k . ?!?! How is that when it showed tested as $26k. A price like that would be insanely absurd
team oneplus!
How tall are y'all
5'10"
That damn infotainment screen is hideous theme and size is good but they could make it way sleeker. I'd love to see the negative space between gauges filled with a screen personally maybe better ambient lighting the buttons illuminate white would be dope as well. I think the stereo is great maybe needs a powered sub to add some low end
I just traded a 2017 Camry for a forte2023 and tech improves so fast it makes me wonder with all this standard why iPads aren’t 100 bucks by now…oh yeah apple is satan
This is definitely an A - Tier system in my opinion. Everybody hears sound differently subjectively but I'm going to have to Disagree with The B tier rating you gave this system, respectfully.
it's objectively not an A-, least not by his standards lmfao, impossible for it to be A. at BEDT this is a B-, more likely a C+ which is good considering the IMMENSE value you get with this vehicle.
@@roboticvenom1935 Well again, that's completely your opinion my guy. I've had the pleasure of listening to some of the higher end 12 speaker or 16 speaker systems on other More luxurious models. To me they were very well done but for me, just a little too over the top. The Forte is a solid A for me because it fits just right. Again, everybody hears sound differently so it's an A from me. 👍🏻
We have a Volvo Xc60 with the Bowers & Wilkin sound system Daily motors gave an S tier rating for the sound system. Just recently we also acquired a 2023 Forte GT with the GT2 Package and Honestly, I prefer the "B" Tier Harmon Kardon system to "S" Bowers & Wilkins. To me the Kia just sounds more clear in the highs and mids. It's definitely an A+ in my opinion. Your right though, ears are unique!
