Default Couple new small mods...pics inside...

Even though the weather here is craptastic, and I have no money for mods, somehow I still manage to eke out a few small ones to hold me over...

First, I transplanted my old Kenwood powered bass tube from the Bimmer to the tC...



Scion Accessory Pedals...





TRD valve stem caps...





and last but not least, TRD badges...





TRD spring/shocks/rear swaybar on order, coming soon

I probably would have passed on the badges... but everything else looks pretty clean. Nice job.

Nice additions. Does the sub sound different in the tC than in the BMW?

Thanks for the opinions guys.

The badge will probably be my only addition to the exterior...I decided on these as opposed to the grille or trunk badges. From a short distance they look like smoked sidemarkers almost.

The pedals are actually filthy in the picture, they are a nice match for the shift **** when they are clean.

The sub sounds a little weaker in the Scion...probably because I tapped into the rear speakers for signal. I'm thinking about tapping into the front speakers, as the factory head unit seems to send a lot more bass to the fronts than the rears. Still and all, its sounds much nicer than the factory Bazooka sub, which I've heard in a few cars.

A note for tapping into the speakers for a sub. I had a line inverter tap into the rears to send signal to my 12". If you play with the setting and change between tc,xa,xb I found one that sends alot more to the sub. I forget which one tho. Neutral on SSP sends zero bass to the sub, hear sends alittle, feel sends alot.

I have it set on xA/hear/bass5/treble4. Feel sends way too much to the front speakers IMHO. I'm going to try and wire into the front speakers and set it on feel/bass 0 or 1. Thanks for the input

I have it on xA/feel/bass-5/treble+5. I wish I could turn the base lower than -5. Its way to much even all the way down. But it saves the front and rear speakers from having to much base through them. It can be turned up alot louder on -5 bass

I've got a little threadlock on there...not too much, just enough for people to be like "wtf this is on there tight..."

That's funny though, I didn't think that very many people would like them...
