ok....so i just got a Scion tc. i used to have pioneer in my old car. Then i found out that Scion comes with a decent system. well my question is, what are the size of the speakers and if they r pioneer too? do anyone recommend to put an amp in for the speakers?
I have more questions about different parts of the car but this is a start

I would appreciate your help.

iirc, they're 6.5" front and 5.25" rear. Seem to be decent speakers as far as stock systems go. Adding an amp would be fine, but I don't think it's worth the effort or cost unless you're going to go with kick panel mounting or other location for improved sound quality. You'd be much better off adding a subwoofer first, imo.

And you might also want to try the searching, as these questions have already been asked and answered several times. :wink:

Throw in an amp and new speakers, its worth it! I just got my whole setup (not yet installed), but I heard the exact same setup on a different tC. You can put 6.5" in both the front and the back, but you need to buy an adapter plate. Some people leave out the rear speakers - not me

i swapped out the stock headunit and it made a world of a difference (still with stock speakers). i would keep the speakers and add a new headunit or sub. idk, thats just me tho.

i fully agree. in a lot (not all of course) of cases, the head unit will make the biggest right-after-installation difference when dealing with a stock audio system. i also agree that the tC has a pretty decent factory pioneer setup, although there is room for improvement (when is there not? lol) if i ever mod the factory setup, it will either be just adding a sub to it or maybe if im feeling rich replacing the head unit as well.

oh and btw, i heard somewhere (from an official scion document / website part / somewhere credible) that the speakers are, in fact, pioneer. whether or not that means much is the question. i'm sure theyre not as good as aftermarket pioneer speakers.

I replaced both the HU & the factory front speakers....

There is NO substitute for an aftermarket setup.

thank you guys for your input....ima try to make the best out of it!
