Replying to: masantafe (Nov 07, 2008 1:22 pm) It's because the cabin is so quiet you can hear every squeak and rattle and we all expect a Rolls Royce job at a Hyundai price ! Have you checked your tire pressure? Most S.Fe's are pumped up to 44 psi for delivery to prevent flat spots, and they always seem to forget to deflate them to 30 psi cold for the 18" tires. If overinflated, that may also make any vibration worse. Look on the drivers door jamb plate for the build date and whether it was Korea or Alabama. If it's any consolation with the vibration, when the weather is warmer and everything expands, the noise may go away. |

I was told today that I need have my cabin air filter replaced and the cost would be $43. Is this something I can purchase for less at a store and install myself? Thanks!

Does anyone else have a loud, obnoxious grinding sound when they lock their vehicle? Mine comes from the very back hatch door on my Santa Fe. thanks!

| are there any chassis lube points on the 2007 santa fe limited awd? a chassis lube should be done on every oil change... | |
I have a new 08 SE with standard (no Infinity) stereo. Looks good, but sound could be much better IMO. Problem is I want to keep the head end. Has anyone changed out just their speakers and possibly added a moderate amp? How does it sound? Worth the investment? Anyone know a good shop in the Boston/Southern New Hampshire area? Thanks.

Replying to: masantafe (Nov 13, 2008 1:30 pm) Your head unit is probably fine. It's just as easy these days to make a decent car stereo amp with wide frequency response and adequate power as it is to make a junky one. Your head unit comes from Delphi, which is usually pretty good. If, as you've indicated, you're happy with its design and functions, I'd leave it alone. Changing speakers is your best bang-for-the-buck move. Most head units are capable of much better sound than the OEM speakers provide. Provided you upgrade to GOOD aftermarket speakers, your sound should be measurably better. I'd suggest brands such as Pioneer, Polk, Boston Acoustics or similar, and be prepared to spend AT LEAST $100/pair, and maybe up to $200/pair to get a significant improvement. Depending on how loud you like to play your music, an external amp might not be necessary. It's a simple step to change out the speakers first, and then decide if you need an amp. If you do, I wouldn't think you'd need more than 50 watts per channel (that's RMS, not "peak power"). Feel free to ask for more suggestions. BTW, I haven't done this to my SF because I'm lazy, and the OEM speakers aren't THAT bad. The bass is kind of boomy, however, so a change might be in the wind...
