I've been given the radio (AM/FM, CD and tape player)out of a 2002 V6
Sonata. I got the wiring harness today so that I could hook it up to a
power supply and speakers. To my surprise, the audio could barely be
heard. Does this radio require an amp? If so, any idea of what one
costs? Thank you.

 

Some radios require amps and some do not. Do you have the radio model
number from the top of the unit? I can probably find out with that info.

The model number is H - 290YFL The part # is 96190 - 3D100

There is a bar code on the side. The numbers on it are:
WDA2102335 1008343 D91

If this radio does require an amp, is it also available via the
aftermarket?

Thank you very much for your help. Much appreciated.

The H290 is externally amped. You can check the schematics in the ETM
section at www.hmaservice.com to see if you can garner some info about
what your amp will need to do. I'd presume that any amp should work, but
I'm not an audiophile and I've never looked into amps, so I could also be
completely wrong on that count.

do you know if the H260 is externally amped?

Thank you. I'm still looking at replacing my stereo with an
aftermarket one supporting mp3 cds. My problem is I don't want to
-lose- any quality. I can't imagine the stock unit cost a fortune.


Does anyone know of a <$200 head unit that supports mp3 cds and would
sound as good as the stock H260? Im not worried about massive bass,
just something that'll sound the same as my stock unit.

Thanks
