wow really? didn't know I thought it did void it right away after you do it, personatly, I wouldn't upgrade that, the stock sound system sounds great in my car if you ask me

I see we agree here..

on and think like kia if you change something in the car they don't have to back the warranty since you changed it..
I mean you put speakers in your car that need 90 watts
stock head unit 30 watts or so
equals a overload that at somepoint most likely will fry it..
kia won't give you another one... they don't have too you changed it which means you broke it
but if a cd stock in it.. they'd most likely have to fix that... but lol maybe they'd blame it on you..see where I'm going here

a790 I just have to say that I've done this a few times and I've killed a few stockers by adding big speakers with no amp... trust me it might take a month it might take 3 but in my past trials I've seen them smoke out .. i was younger at the time like 17 so maybe the speakers had nothing to do with it? still I'm just saying he was asking if that was going to void the warranty.. and yeah I was giving ImO from past problems I've had just trying to save him from a mistake..

atleast get a amp if your going to do that for saftey sake and better sounds which after all is what he is after right?
ok Im done here say what you will lol

WILL NOT


google the magnuson-moss warranty act that was enacted back in 1975

^^ that is a federal law, so its applies in the US. Kia cannot make the waranty conditional because u replaced your speakers. The speakers would have to be proven with out the benefit of a doubt to have caused failure to the OEM headunit. If you undertand audio, how the basics of a loud speaker works, and how a basic audio amplifier works, then u can see why and how speakers can not void a manufactures warranty if your properly installing them or using them.

this is a part of the law I saw that draws a concern to me..
I mean if I read this right this could give them a way to right you out of there warranties am I wrong?

The Act does not require that manufacturers or sellers of consumer products provide written warranties. Instead, the act requires that manufacturers and sellers who do warrant their products to clearly disclose the terms of the warranty so that the consumer understands his or her rights under the warranty.

edit.. I'm just saying it seems like they could put something in fine print someplace about you adding/ changing parts..
I'm not trying to start a fight I'm just trying to say has anybody here read there warrantys front to back I'll be honest I have not.. I've read some of it but yeah. lol
