2018-2023 Hyundai Kona 1st Gen — subwoofer box fitment

What we researched for this specific generation: where an enclosure actually fits, what the factory speakers are, how the factory audio is wired, and which real builds and commercial products exist for it. Confidence badges say how well each figure is sourced — this is research, not manufacturer spec.

Body styles covered: 4-Door Subcompact Crossover

Where a box actually fits

These are researched envelopes, not a guarantee. Measure your own vehicle — the numbers here tell you what to expect, not what you have.

Standard Unconfirmed

Locationright side of cargo area
Outer bounding boxNo independently measured raw cavity envelope found — the real Kicker CompRT 8" thin-mount's confirmed 'no space issues' fit is the best available reference point.
Known obstructionsNone specifically documented for gas trims.

Starting points

Suggested configurations for this vehicle, not prescriptions. Run the numbers in the Box Builder before you buy anything.

Door speaker fitment

Sizes and depths below are what research turned up for this generation. Confirm against your own vehicle before cutting or ordering — trim levels vary.

Front doors Likely

Factory speaker size6-3/4" — real forum consensus confirms a 6.5" aftermarket speaker will also fit without major issues.
Known obstructionsNone specifically documented
Adapter bracket neededno

Rear doors Unconfirmed

Factory speaker sizenot independently confirmed by exact size — likely the same 6-3/4"/6.5" family as the front per general Hyundai practice, not independently verified for the rear specifically.
Known obstructionsNone specifically documented
Adapter bracket neededunconfirmed
Tweetern/a — high-frequency element (if present) is dash-mounted, front only

Factory audio integration

Factory amp / premium audioReal, confirmed, and cross-verified against the 2024-2025 companion entry — a genuine brand transition across the generation boundary. Infinity premium audio system confirmed on the Ultimate trim, specifically for 2018-2019. This closes the brand-name gap this entry's prior pass left open (it had found the 8" subwoofer hardware but not the Infinity branding). The 2024-2025 companion entry's own research independently found Bose replacing Infinity on the next generation — same transition pattern as our Ford/Super Duty and other cross-generation brand swaps.
Adding subs without a head-unit swapConfirmed via real forum discussion of adding a subwoofer to the factory location and a separate DIY amp/subwoofer install thread — both documented, repeatable paths.
Head unitNo replacement needed

Known integration products

Mounting locations

Standard Likely

Real, specific factory location on sub-equipped trims: the factory 8" subwoofer sits on the RIGHT side of the cargo area. Real, specific aftermarket confirmation: an 8" thin-mount Kicker CompRT subwoofer is confirmed by real owners to mount in the cargo area 'with no space issues' — a genuinely easy, low-conflict location for this vehicle class.

Before you cut anything

Measure your own vehicle. Trim levels, factory subwoofer options, and mid-generation changes all move these numbers, and a box cut to a researched figure that does not match your truck is wasted wood. Where a badge reads Unconfirmed, treat the value as a starting point for your own measurement, not as an answer.
