Kia Forte speaker upgrade: questions
What size speakers fit the Kia Forte?
It depends on the year. Some we have verified: 2019–2024: 6.5" or 6-3/4" in the front doors, 6.5" or 6-3/4" in the rear doors; 2017–2018: 6.75" in the front doors, 6.75" in the rear doors; 2014–2016: 6.5" or 6-3/4" in the front doors, 6.5" or 6-3/4" in the rear doors. Any other spot or year: confirm fit at the shop.
Do I need a new radio or an amp to upgrade the speakers?
Not always. New speakers can run off the factory radio. Some factory premium systems use an amp that needs an interface; we check your trim before you buy.
Can you install them in South Gate?
Yes. Bring the Kia Forte to 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate. Tony installs in our own bay, often the same day. Call (323) 944-7844 or text (213) 674-9042 to confirm it is in stock.
Can I pay over time?
