4 speakers, 2 tweeters.. and when you get to mess with it, it is very clear and can be very loud with little to no distortion.

It's great for a standard audio system, not aftermarket quaility, but still good.

Pretty good for being stock. If you play with settings a bit you can get it to sound good. I will be replacing my whole system which sucks because I love the stock look and not have to deal with installation. But good for a OEM system.

what type of Scions are you test driving that have no stereo's? It sounds kick ___ for a stock system on a very inexpensive car. Go drive a Kia or a Hyundai if you want to see what I mean!

I opted for the 6-disc mp3 changer with the Bazooka in the trunk... can't wait to see how it sounds!

It sounds rather good for a stock system, just be sure to change it to Hear instead of Neutral.... neutral sounds like absolute trash!

WaterDragon

afterthough: the Bazooka won't rattle the trunk, will it??

i'd hope not, it's only 100 watts peak.

WaterDragon

well, I generally tend not to "bump" my system anyway.... I was just wondering

If you crank it and play something bass heavy, yes, it will rattle the trunk and you can hear it rattling/thumping outside the car. Under normal circumstances, it just sounds good.

I love the stock system, it is the best I have heard for stock. I love the MP3 feature.

The best stock sytem I ever had/heard was in my 1990 Maxima SE.... Bose, baby! :D

Audio is something you'll get 10000 opinions on. To me, the stock system sounds like two monkeys raping each other. Its complete crap, but so is any factory stereo.

Thats why I got all new speakers, amps, subs sitting next to me waiting to go in.

if u wanna blow ur eardrums away.. sorry the stock system isn't for you ..

to me, it can use a standard subwoofer. . my 03 sentra has a a bu n sounds really good .. but for what u get, its more than most other cars out there .. mp3 player feature alone is great... why get a 6 disk changer when a cd full of mp3's can have more than 100 song on it ..

my only complaints with the stereo are:
1. it looks to deep in its socket, i expected it to be more forward
2. volume control shud really have been a ****
3. when u hit mute, hitting the volume button does not un mute

suggested features for future tC's:
1. besides the **** for volume, controls on the wheel (my arms are tired of stretching)
2. standard subwoofer

For Pointers...

by default.. the SSP setting is set to Scion Type TC... but if you change to Scion Type xB...the sound is much deeper and clearer IMO.

to amend the SSP ... just hold down on the button for few seconds..then use the VOL button to switch between types.
