Hello from Hampton Roads area in VA everyone!! Just picked up my 2018 Elantra in Black, My New Ride 2018 Elantra SEL Playtime!
Super excited to learn all I can about this ride to keep it going. My first and only issue is the lack of bass so I want to add a sub. I noticed there's no speakers in the rear deck so I assume it's all door speakers, so this project should be fun. Any help or ideas are welcomed.
Before you make any permanent connections, YES, even with the radio, make sure you will be able to start the vehicle. If everything works OK, then I would make the connections permanent. There is so much electronics (Network) in newer vehicles that they refuse to work correctly after any changes from originally built. Sounds crazy, but after you make your temporary connections and if it doesn't want to start, you will know why I suggested what I did.

Thanks I did just that. OMG finding the correct wiring was no fun at all. But I was able to find everything needed to install a sub and while it still needs some fine tuning. I do have a little bit of bass to work with now. Thanks for the tip. Now to install some visual effects.
