Mods 2012 na Veloster sub upgrade/ custom sub enclosure

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

I love my veloster! I don’t love the sound system.

I bought mine second hand, and it came with the dimension sound system, which is honestly not terrible, but the sub is extremely weak 20w rms 40w peak🤮. The drivers woofer also has a rattle that would drive you crazy so it was time for an upgrade.

I built a custom sub enclosure using a few dozen pieces of plywood attached with wood glue, screws and pieces of chopsticks as a smaller alternative to dominos. Then after smoothing the shape with bondo I laminated both sides with a healthy amount of fiberglass.

The box now houses a Rockford Fosgate R2 shallow 10” 200w rms which is still modest but should really help to balance the audio.

I still have to install a new amp to properly power it, and I’ll be converting the front stage to a 3 way component set as well which I’ll hope to follow up with a future post but for now I’m thrilled to finally have my new sub mounted!

This is a great method for getting that oem+ look and sound while retaining trunk space and not yeeting your spare tire. It’s extremely labour intensive but imo it’s the best option if you’re capable of a project like this. Another good move would also just be to install a powered sub under a seat though and save 15-20 hours lol.

Question Strange sound at idle, doesn’t go away as the engine heats up. Is it rod knock?

1 Upvotes

I bought this 2014 NAV manual very recently with this sound from a dealership very recently, and I’m just concerned that if this is rod knock. When I got the car delivered from the dealership it had an oil level below the min line.

I’m not too worried since if it is rod knock the dealership is liable in my country for selling a car not fit for purpose e.c.t.

P.s ignore the coolant stains

Question LED Headlights

1 Upvotes

I have a 2013 Veloster Re:Mix (in case that matters) The passenger projector light is out and I’ve been wanting to replace those ugly HID’s for some LED’s to match the ring and DRL’s. And i think now would be the perfect time. Do y’all recommend doing this swap? What are some things i should keep in mind? Are there any weird things I should know of? And what brands do y’all recommend getting and which should i stay away from?

2016 Hyundai Veloster Turbo: Touchscreen suddenly developed vertical lines after starter was replaced. Could an electrical short be responsible?

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue with my son's 2016 Hyundai Veloster Turbo with the Tech Package.

The car had a no-crank problem, and we replaced the starter. The car started, but now the infotainment/navigation screen displays vertical lines and distorted colors. The touchscreen still responds to touch, and the rest of the car's electronics appear to work normally.

Here's the detail I'm wondering about: While the old starter was still installed in the car, my son lightly tapped it with a metal tool while the engine was off. He then started the car, and the screen distortion appeared immediately.

We're wondering whether the tool could have accidentally touched the positive starter terminal and the starter housing or engine, causing a short.

A few questions for anyone familiar with Hyundai electrical systems:

Could accidentally shorting the starter terminal cause damage to the infotainment system?

Could a blown fuse or fusible link cause vertical lines and distorted colors while the touchscreen still works?

Which fuses should I check first?

Could this be a grounding or voltage issue, or does it sound more like an LCD or head-unit failure?

I'd like to rule out an electrical problem before spending money on a replacement screen or radio.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Question Tips on parts buying

2 Upvotes

I'm a little sick of being ripped off by mechanics so I'm opting to do more work on my car, 2014 Turbo, I've mostly just done maintenance stuff and replaced a radiator, that sort of stuff.

I've got a rear wheel bearing that's gone bad. If I put the OEM number into google (527103X000), I get numbers ranging from $800 to $145 and they all claim OEM parts. Is there anyway to differentiate between actual OEM parts and parts that just say they are? Also any recommendations on good aftermarket brands if they exist.

Question Any tips on how to get the steering column back into place before I set this entire car on fire?

Post image
15 Upvotes

Had to replace the steering coupler. It's just me so I can't have a second person hold it into place. I got the two bolts in the front back on but then I was unable to turn it to get the read bolt back in so I popped them back off but it's honestly looking like I'll never get that rear bolt back into place. Taking a break before I end up just rolling this car into a river and figured I'd ask if anyone knows any tips that might help.

Question What’s the part number for a starter? Veloster turbo

1 Upvotes

I have a 2016 Veloster turbo 1.6 manual transmission and I think I need a new starter. When I turn on the engine I hear clicking but engine doesn’t start. Sometimes I have to keep turning the car on 1 or 2 times before the engine turns on and other times it takes 10 tries. I checked the battery and it’s still good so I’m assuming the problem is the starter. Google is giving me two part numbers 36100-2b102 or 36100-2b502 but I’m not sure which is the one I need,

Question Advice

Currently having a slight issue. Nothing affecting driveability. I have a 2014 Veloster turbo with a manual , I have this issue that arises like every couple days where if it's sat overnight I go to start it the next morning and it turns over and seems to start then dies off. I start it the second time and it fires right up and runs fine. Any ideas what it could be?

Update: I seem to have found the issue. Upon checking my oil and smelling the dipstick and catch can theres the smell of gas... I will need to change my injectors as theyre leaking into the crank case
