i just went out and tried it in my tC and the xA setting sounds alot better.. much louder at the same volume in the tc ...

why is it that the xA setting sounds better in both the tC and xB

 

I have mine set on XB, with feel setting, bass -1, treble 5. It sounds good. Today I removed the old factroy rear speakers with some 6.5" component set. It sounds great!

 

just set my tC to the XA setting and it sounds 10 times better

 

Heh, arise from the grave ye old thread! So, once again, does anyone know exactly what these changes do to the speakers? I'd hate to use a different car model and find out that 6 months later my speakers start vibrating badly because I was routing the wrong amperage to them or something. No, I dont know much about car audio.

You won't mess up your set. My guess is that settings have to do with speaker location, speaker direction, and volume of interior airspace. But I am just guessing.

 

Agreed, I still like xB on HEAR (and for CD/MP3, SRT on).

Now, die! Ye ole thread, DIE!

 

Does anyone remember how or where to find how to change the text on the stock pioneer unit from SCION to a custom text? I forgot where it is. Thanks

 

Do you have your owner's manual? The answer is in the back of it. It is a bit complicated pressing buttons and turning the key on and off.

 

I was about to buy new speakers for the door and midpanel....lol....xA settins work sooo much better, not gonna change those speaks now and save the $$$ for other stuff. Still gonna edead and install 2 eu700's in the back tho.

 

2006 Xb, when i held down the SSP setting was on TC. this setting had a very flat tone and not that loud at max vol. so i dont know if only the '06 has the 3 settings TC, XB, and XA but the XA i think has the sharpest high's and loudest overall sound XB still very loud but leans toward the mids... IMO the TC setting sucks in the XB... Also the '06 can play MP3 and WMA files... do the previous years?

 

my xa came set on tc. also if you disconnect the battery it goes back to tc. it was a HUGE difference when i changed it to xa!!! my trebble sounds way better and my sub hits alot harder!
thanks..

 

Had no idea about this until reading the tech article. My 06 xB was set on tc. Switched it to xB - What a difference! Another great tip from ScionLife.

 

Hmmm. Glad this was posted. I tried mine and as it turns out it was set for a tC. The tweeters were getting a little too much power before but now the levels are better. Doesn't sound better per se, but these settings will preserve the life of the speakers for sure.

 

Yea I read the manual when I first got it and it makes a hell of uh difference on xB mode in the tC.

 

Great info in this one we have. Long live the thread.

 

My dealer didn't mention it either. And I agree, the xB setting sounds much better than the tC setting.

 

On almost all of my stereo's especially if I have tweeters, I put treble to almost full for better clarity, you all really keep it on 0, weird?? and if u have bass installed u must keep it above 0 to level out the sub....

 

Your right, we should let this post die.

Oh, wait, did I just bump this post by replying? sorry

 

I think it's funny how there is a setting for each car, and a lot of folks are using settings ment for another Scion. Goes to show, its all about personal taste.

Side note, I just changed mine from tC to xB, and it sounds much better. I'm quite happy.

 

Mines on xA and I have a tC.
