Hey everyone, just though I'd post the updates from the previous bunch of work I did.
For those who missed it, here's my previous bunch of work:
D113's Forte Audio install.. phase 2. - Kia Forum
The latest update addresses major rattling issues, additonal amp, eq, and sub, sound deadening, adding top notch components to the doors, a high current power cell, and a few touch-ups.
First, to get rid of the major rattle you get when you put 500+ Watts RMS into your trunk. The rattle comes from the rear plastic trim behind the rear seat above the trunk rattling against the rear window.
Solution: You should be able to do this simply with 1 inch wide weather stripping but I used that and another product on mine.
The last picture shows the added weatherstripping around the perimeter of the raised brake light cover. I cut the 1 inch strip in half and created a nice outline. Since the windows are tinted, what you see with the flash is nearly invisible and less ugly than the picture shows.
If anyone is interested in where this product was purchased, let me know and I'll find out from the R+D department at work where they sourced it.
More to come!
