Santa Fe 2005 Monsoon Front Speaker Replacement Suggestions?

feeds@kickapps.com (jlsimon) — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 18:26:21 PST

Dear All...

I have been searching and searching the web to find a good replacement speaker for the front. My goals are as follows...
1. Use the existing monsoon system and only replace the door speakers.
2. Given that the door speakers are crossed over via the amp, I need a set of speakers (component?) that can take separate wiring for the mid and low range channels.
3. I would like the component speaker to fit without modification within the existing panel mount (wiring aside).

I have found some MBQuart speakers (component with tweeter spider mount) that may fit but I don't know for sure.

Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks.

2010 Santa Fe - iPod Not Synching Correctly

feeds@kickapps.com (christina1114) — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 17:37:21 PST

When I plug my iPod USB into my factory stereo, it recognizes it simply as a USB rather than an iPod. While the stereo does play the music from the iPod, and it recognizes song titles/artist names, it will only play in "shuffle" mode, and it will not allow me to browse through my different playlists.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I may be able to try differently?

Thank you

Antenna Adaptor and Trim kit help needed! (Non monsoon 2004 Santa Fe)

feeds@kickapps.com (Supasing) — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 08:17:33 PST

Hi,

I'm installing a pioneer U310BT in my 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe without the Monsoon Sound System.

This is the unit: Pioneer

Do I need an antenna adapter for it?

Also, I think I need a dash kit for the unit. I'm not sure what one will fit best.
There's this one from Crutchfield: Crutchfield
And this one (Metra) from Ebay: Metra

I've read that some parts of the trim kit will not fit and I won't have to use these parts. Any...

LG OEM Navigation LAN-8670NH1

feeds@kickapps.com (grizzlybear) — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 22:10:32 PST

Hey everyone, I have a factory navigation system for 2008+ Santa Fe. Bought it for my dad, but thought the idea of watching movies in the car was ludicrous, go figure. But anyways, if anyone is interested, I am selling it for 475 shipped. The unit is pretty much brand new, only took it out of the box to take pictures. here are some specs: 8" screen Plays Dvds Navigation that speaks (has most streets, but new ones would need an update) Face tilts downward when switching out discs. If anyone is interested, email me at krazchikin@yahoo.com and I can send you pictures. Thanks!

More audio questions for the experts among you all.

I need to change the head unit in the Santy as the cd player packed in so i am now looking at fitting a double din unit like this one.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270460450918&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

To save me removing the dash to measure the space does anyone know if this size of unit will fit the Santy and apart from me having to cut my dash slightly what other problems may i hit?

Thanks all.

Playstation 2?

Has anyone fitted a Playstation 2 or similar to their Santy?

Amps?

feeds@kickapps.com (steff1965) — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 22:08:35 PST

Does the Santy original sound system have amps built onto the speakers?

I want to change the head unit as the CD player part in mine is knackered but I am sure I read somewhere that there are amps on the speakers so these either need to be by-passed or the speakers replaced.

CD Stuck

feeds@kickapps.com (steff1965) — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 21:14:43 PST

Does anyone know of a trick to remove a stuck CD from the Clarion head unit?

I don't know if the eject part of the head unit has packed in or if the disc has become jammed somehow. When i press eject all i get is a few clicks and nothing else. Just thought i would ask before i go removing the dash to get the head unit out.

Thanks all.

Tweeter panel

feeds@kickapps.com (redlinek2000) — Mon, 04 May 2009 07:24:20 PST

I'm considering replacing the speakers in my 04 Santa Fe. I have already replaced the factory 6disc monsoon deck with a Kenwood Excelon deck that is connected to the factory amp then out to the 6 speakers. What I'm planning on doing is replacing all the speakers with aftermarket ones. What I would like to know is if anyone know of a place on the web where I can order replacement sail panels, the panels where the factory tweeters are located. I've searched and searched and can't find anywhere to buy them hoping someone knows a place thanks.

Speakers for my '01 Santa - Sizes? Opinions on Kicker speakers?

feeds@kickapps.com (DSHornet) — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 17:25:53 PST

The title says it all. I want to replace the factory speakers in my '01 Santa. I have read that the fronts are 6.5", but I'm a little confused about the rears. Are they 6.5" or 6.75" size? I'm not planning to change the head unit at this time, but I want to improve the sound. Sound deadening using RAAMmat and foam has already been done, so I know what is involved with removing trim panels front and rear.

Also, I see on www.sonicelectronix.com that they have some Kicker speakers for less than $50 US a pair. I'm thinking about DS650's rear and DS600's front. Opinions, anyone?

Installing an aftermarket sound system help (yes another one)

feeds@kickapps.com (DCDIME) — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 21:05:43 PST

Hello all,

First off let me say thank you to all who take time to read/respond to this post. I just purchased an 2003 Santa Fe and I love it! here is my deal...I hate the stock system in the vehicle. I am replacing it with an aftermarket head unit and filling out the sound with the subs and amp from my last truck (which is 6 months old). Here's my question: What are the basic things I may need to know about putting in the head unit? Are there any concerns about taking the dash apart? Do i need any special tools? Are there any techniques that other members here have found effective? Where is the best place to get in through the firewall with my power cable? Where is the best side to run my RCA cables/power/remote down? Also,where is a good place to ground my amp in the rear?

I'm fully capable of doing this project and time isn't a factor, so I'm just wondering some of the ways that any of you guys have done this ahead of me. i also do...

Ghost in the machine... (losing the radio tuner presets)

feeds@kickapps.com (Barryd) — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 05:14:46 PST

Hi, I've a UK spec 2005, the radio is the original factory fit and it has an annoying habit of losing the preset channels. I've got TA and AST on so I am used to it skipping off the selected channel whilst Traffic alerts are being broadcast but it seems to lose the preset channels every time I trun it off.

It's not the end of the world but I kinda like Radio 4 on the 4 button and Radio 2 on the 2 button and the local staions elsewhere... and retuning it everytime is a pain. Any thoughts?

Having typed this it occurs to me that it is a face-off stereo and that the face unit might need a new battery - is...

Help with Santa Fe Monsoon Amp wiring (2003)

feeds@kickapps.com (koko) — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 07:50:00 PST

I was hoping someone still has the wiring diagram for the amplifier under the passenger seat of the Santa Fe (2003). I see it was posted back in 2006 but all the links are no longer accessible. I've traced most of the wires out but am having trouble locating the drivers side front woofer connections. I haven't gotten into the rear speakers yet. There are 2 clips that go into the amp. One is a 24 pin connection with 20 of the pins active. The other - I'm not sure what it does. There are 8 connections with one (white) being 12V+ constant power and one black being the ground. Not sure what the other 6 are for. Thanks!

My monsoon radio having issues

feeds@kickapps.com (mntbiker2008) — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 17:44:20 PST

so... after every other thing going wrong with my santa fe, my radio is starting to act funny. its the 6 disc changer. when i am driving, the whole screen blacks out and the buttons dont work. i have to turn the radio off and turn it back on so it can come back. is this a sign im going to be replacing this p.o.s. soon? it gets really annoying. anything i can do to save from buying a new radio? if i do need to buy a new radio, do i need to do something special for the amp? if i can recall, there isnt a separate wire for it, i think it is just in the wiring harness. any help is greatly appreciated.

iPod connection in '09

feeds@kickapps.com (Edging1) — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 16:43:19 PST

Just a snippit of info to pass along. It appears the Santy will have an available iPod cable connector for about $25 in the '09 models, available at your local dealer parts department. This will plug into an Aux jack that will be available in some of the models.

2003 OEM 6 cd changer

feeds@kickapps.com (ouigpt) — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 16:20:11 PST

I've belonged to this forum for all of 2 minutes now, so if this is a re-hash, please forgive.
My wife is missing her AM reception. It's poor with the engine off, and even worse with the engine running. The FM reception is quite fine. How does one remove the radio? Or should I attack the plastic trim over the glass with the antenna in it? ...anything else I haven't thought of? Is this a common problem?

thanks in advance,

Ipod Aux using CDC

feeds@kickapps.com (Santablu2) — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 19:58:59 PST

I am sorry to resurrect an old topic but I am looking to hook up my an aux input to my 2001 Santa fe stock stereo. In searching previous threads I found various discussions of options including the using the input for the CDC button which is on my system. None of those links are active anymore. I believe someone was selling them at some point (zebra100). I have searched the internet and there is nothing on ebay anymore. In any case I am looking for the cable to add aux in to my Santa Fe. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!!!

Head unit or Speakers?

feeds@kickapps.com (steff1965) — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 20:39:51 PST

I just fitted a new head unit into our Clio and it sounds fantastic so i am now thinking about changing the one in the Santy as it sounds terrible.
Question is, is it the head unit or the speakers in the Santy that make it sound so terrible or is it both?

If i change just the head unit will it be any better or would i be better changing the lot?

Cheers
