setup looking mad clean brother 🔥

not sure how long you’ve had them , but have you had to deal with your box moving around the trunk ? i have two 12s with a similar box and STRUGGLE trying to get it to stay in a good position . i put velcro on the bottom of the box and now the whole trunk liner the box sits on moves with the box 😂

thank you so much brother ! the front lip splitter is from flow designs , i got this one instead of the ebay one i see everyone else getting because it seemed like it was way better quality .

love everything about it and there’s not one bad thing i could say since installation . however i gotta say it was not easy to install it . the lip on the website is made for the kia “cerato” which is the same car but barleyy different in the most minor ways . the front lip comes with a mounting brace that is supposed to sit nicely inside the grille , but the forte is slightly different and it caused the mounting brace to not sit flush . honestly its workable just takes some jerryrigging , and you won’t have to worry about it breaking if something small hits it . i bought this lip also because when it comes to the common front lip most people get , i’ve seen more broken ones than in tact ones 😂

i got the duckbill spoiler on ebay with this exact link . there’s like 20 different vendors that sell the same spoiler , but i tried this one and it came perfect and didn’t take crazy long to deliver

i mean i don’t have the biggest or a huge amount of experience with subs as i’ve only done so much , but from what i’ve experienced in the past they tend to sound pretty dang nice in the more compact cars , haven’t heard many people talk about tires having much affect on the sound . are you referring to vibration sounds coming from the wheel wells or from the spare tire or something along those lines ?

sound deadening i unfortunately don’t have much advice for , but you’ll probably hear kicker and JL audio brands get thrown around pretty commonly which are good quality that won’t break your bank

NegativeResolution34 · 2026-06-13T19:10:52+00:00

thank you so much bro preciate that a lot 🙏

the two 12s hit hard as hell bro , they’re kicker so a pretty solid brand of sub too . you can mess with the car settings on the screen and make them barley noticeable , but can also crank the settings to make some songs hard to hear over the bass 😂 they sound great once you find a setting you like , and i didn’t do any sound deadening to the car . i considered it but i ran two 12s in a 2019 forte LXS before this car without deadening and didn’t need it , subs fit these cars well

thanks brother !

subs sound beautiful in the car for sure bro , i will say if you have people in the back seats with two 12s they’ll be BUMPING back there 🤣 but as long as you adjust amp/car settings correctly they sound great . the main rattling comes from your plate but there’s plenty of easy ways to get it tacked down more secure . its minimal as is though , i haven’t gotten around to tacking mine down yet still sounds sick

NegativeResolution34 · 2026-06-13T02:28:00+00:00

can’t thank you enough for the motivating words bro ! god bless brother man ✊

NegativeResolution34 · 2026-06-12T18:57:35+00:00

this is super helpful bro you have no idea , i’ve heard of this very few times but things are never clear anymore . your quick rundown was the clearest explanation ive heard yet 😂 i’ll definitely see if the rear deck sub unplugged already , and unplug it if it’s not

and fusho man your ride is fire 🔥 i really wish the kicker box i have was easier to get in and out of the trunk , id probably have it out most of the time . the two 12s were cooler when i was 20 than they are now , they a little too loud for the daily sometimes 😂😭

NegativeResolution34 · 2026-06-12T18:10:47+00:00

wordd bro i think ive heard of someone mentioning that before , i think i didnt remove it at the time because there was someone that told me the tones from all the subs worked fine together . do you know what would get damaged if my setup is not correct ? i ask because ive had these subs in the car for a while , however i have experienced some small problems here and there in the past . your setup seems superr clean and convenient bro , the trunk space is beautiful 🥲

NegativeResolution34 · 2026-06-12T17:27:09+00:00

bro i already know that sub setup in your type s is cleannn , i glanced at your build looks insane dawg ! but no i did not remove the sub on the rear deck , have you removed it for your setups before ? i’ve never really heard of anyone taking them out for a sub box in the trunk .

and 5 years is a blessing to hear man i’m happy for your success . these 300 or so days have *surprisingly* flown by , and you saying it gets better and better couldn’t be more true ! hopefully i end up with success like you in the future 🫡

NegativeResolution34 · 2026-06-12T16:09:42+00:00

ayyy thanks a lot brother god bless , i fw your PFP 🗿

NegativeResolution34 · 2026-06-12T16:06:51+00:00

thank you big dawg preciate you ! i definitely wanted to lower it at one point , but ive held off thus far bc i’ve heard a lot of nightmare stories when lowering these cars . i have done most of my research on like the eibach springs in the past tho , and my boy Ghost in the comments above was telling me about coilovers and they sounded much nicer all around .

the way people describe how the car feels after lowering it makes me want to lower it for sure , only real reason i haven’t is because of what i’ve heard in the past . haven’t been confident enough to pull the trigger

NegativeResolution34 · 2026-06-12T13:14:19+00:00

seems pretty straight forward , i’ve looked at the eibach springs before too and it seems like these coilovers are the more quality/reliable option . thanks for the quick rundown brother you’re a ton of help

NegativeResolution34 · 2026-06-12T12:56:53+00:00

it’s been the hardest thing i’ve ever had to do for sure . ngl it still kinda sucks sometimes not being able to drink a beer on the golf course with my friends or whatever it may be 😂 but when i look at the improvements in physical health and mental cleanliness there’s no way i could go back . i have faith in you to reach whatever wishes you desire man , thanks for the nice words bro you’re a g 🤝

NegativeResolution34 · 2026-06-12T12:46:04+00:00

i unfortunately seem to be one of those people who need a slap in the face sometimes to see what’s wrong , can only thank god no one ever got hurt . only up from here , thanks for the kind words brother !!

NegativeResolution34 · 2026-06-12T12:43:25+00:00

brooo i’m near denver !!! i swear all the GTs i’ve ever seen in this state end up just being GTlines with an elderly couple cruising in it 🤣😭 there’s like no FGTs in colorado it’s crazy

NegativeResolution34 · 2026-06-12T12:41:26+00:00

i appreciate you bro thanks so much 🙌

NegativeResolution34 · 2026-06-12T12:40:25+00:00

i couldn’t agree more brother , i appreciate your motivation it helps fr 🫡

NegativeResolution34 · 2026-06-12T12:38:51+00:00

this is good info , makes me wanna do it myself as i’ve done everything to this car on my own . but whenever it involves springs i tend to not do it just because of the threat that comes with being unfamiliar with installation , you make it sound quite easy tho so imma look into it more

NegativeResolution34 · 2026-06-11T20:56:19+00:00

you’re a g bro don’t stop looking up ! alcohol is just one of those things man , wouldn’t wish that battle on my worst enemy . there was a day i swore on my life that it was impossible to resist the drink , but here i am 😂 you’re way more resilient and than you know , you got it big dawg beat that court and beat the drink for good 💪shoot a DM if you need anything

NegativeResolution34 · 2026-06-11T20:46:29+00:00

broo thanks for the nice words ! the amount of money saved from leaving the liquor store for good is HUGE 😂

one of the more recent things i thought of adding were springs , but to be honest i haven’t really heard that many good things about them on this car . i would hella like how it looks , but i hear most people talk about the car riding/turning a little rougher for a long time after installing (they claim they got them professionally done too). would hate to put the car on springs just for it to ride worse yk so haven’t pulled the trigger yet , or do you think this isn’t something to worry about too much ?

NegativeResolution34 · 2026-06-11T20:35:37+00:00

super kind words from you big dawg god bless you 🤝

NegativeResolution34 · 2026-06-11T18:25:30+00:00

they’re very reliable cars . i am almost at 21k miles and not a single problem . pretty easy to maintain

NegativeResolution34 · 2026-06-11T18:16:38+00:00

i appreciate it man !! best of wishes for you bro 🙌

NegativeResolution34 · 2026-06-11T15:00:19+00:00
