08 Optima Speaker Wire Colors

cbock1 · 08-29-2008, 10:22 PM

hi. i have an 08 optima. im looking to upgrade the speakers, and i need to know what color the speakers wires are. do you guys have any idea what the colors are? i found stuff for older models, but nothing definite that says 08 optima. i looked at that kia tech site, and while it has tons of diagrams, it doesnt say anywhere what the wiring colors are. (unless i just didnt see it).
thanks for any help.

I got the color code from Crutchfield. I bought an Alpine from them and they had the chart. I may have saved it, if I did I will post it.

check Metra: Metra Electronics The Kia Optima 06.5 and up radio matching harness (non-Infinity radio) is part #70-1004. Color codes for wiring are EIA standard and listed there. Their hotline is 800-253-TECH in Fla. They also have 2-DIN dash mounting kits. The one I got is part #95-7324. You will also need tools to remove the AC and radio cover trim.

i poked around a bit and had no luck. all they seem to have is the standard wire colors..not the kia wire colors. i will continue to research. thanks for the advice.
