Default Car stereo Dash kit

Is there a Double Din dash kit for the kia forte Koup. I know people have put a double Din Deck in there but I wanna know if they cut there dash or its a kit.

I really want to change the deck for my own reasons I really am unhappy with the sound I get out of my new stereo.

I changed the door speakers and put subs in the trunk The subs are on a 500w mono block amp and door on a 800 w 4 channel amp.

Default unfortunately....

over the ocean they have a different center dash layout... so these kits might not work.

It would be awesome to try, btu we'll have to see.

Frankly I don't see how our hazard switch will work with that dash kit. Our hazard switch is not just the button, but the piano-black plastic around it.

the hazard switch can be seperated from the shiny piano black plastic by removing the screws behind it.

sweetdom thou your zeal was in the right place. Your mind was not. Since you care not to fill in a profile no one knows where much less what model you drive. So you fail to grasp the idea that not all Forte are created equal world wide. One mans "there isn't" is another mans "I have done it" till it does not work for you, and you bitch about that then as we made you spend money.

Take for instance the fact that simply saying I wish the better front end parts (control arms/halfshafts) from a Forte KOUP to go under my Forte Sedan just because they look the same and you wish it so. They will not, KOUP is wider then Sedan.

DO you not know how to use a search engine?
