What Are (Ohms) Specs Of the Stereo Head unit on my 2011 Kia Optima LX?
I am getting a new amp and subs for this car but wanted to keep my head unit so that i can keep my steering wheel controls and overall stock look for the car. does anyone know if my subs and amp will sound bad without getting a new headunit? what is the specs on the cars system?
ps. Without the upgraded sound package on car.
THANK YOU!
my car doesnt have rear speakers up in the trunk area. they put them in the rear passenger side doors only.. :/ which is odd. But thanks for the info!

stereo does squat for an amp unless it has sub preamp outputs in which case u can control the sub volume.
I have owned only hondas/acuras and never replace the factory stereo (alpine makes them for hondas)
specs? idk. jump on the kia website to see the rms output. not sure what u need that info for. the signal sent to the amp is preamp, meaning a simple clean signal (unamplified) that the amp in turn amplifies for teh subs/speakers
all u need is a line out converter to tap into the rear speaker wires and send a low level signal to the amp.
like this:

then run rca wires to the amp.
