Awesome car, and good colour choice! I have a question, I have the stock stereo, there i not a lot of base with it but I do like the clarity of the speakers. What would you recommend to help improve the bass?

Thanks,
Joe

^^^A subwoofer in the trunk will make a huge difference. I have 2 12 inch MTX's and an Alpine amp, but if your not looking for rediculous bass then go for like a single 10 inch subwoofer and an amp, you will be happy with it.

In a hatchback, a high-end 10" sub with a good amp, and tuned properly can sounds pretty damn good. . . and it can save a lot of space and weight. Not to rip on 12's, but all too often I see entire trunks taken up by 2 12's that sound like 1 10.

I am not knocking 10's at all, I have 2 Alpine Type E's in the xD, they get the job done no problem. I simply meant that I have 12's in the tC.

With the right set up, 12's rock too. . . man. . . I miss the USA's awesome selection of audio equipment.

Oddest thing to me about the NG tC is the reverse light... thats right I said reverse light, as in singular... the slot on the right side is a dummy, there is no actual place to even install a bulb on the right side "reverse" location...

very much agreee the reverse light was a complete fail imo.

Needs more in the front, maybe another half an inch and it would have been perfect... I will be going with Coilovers in the spring...

How do you keep it so clean with the snow? I drive 2 KM and mine is almost black! I am liking the pics!

I also wanted to ask you since you work for Scion, do you know if the HiD kit/TRD springs would Void the warranty?
