i would imagine it's pioneer like the rest of the systems.

Far as i know the amp is built into the deck.. If you get an aftermarket your all set, same as normal.

I believe they are talking about this:

Doesn't say anything about what brand. There is a link on that page with the PDF installation instructions...

I had the upgraded system...

It's a 100 watt Pioneer system...nice yes, but aftermarket still performs better...

The sub...self contained...it has power and remote wires to it, the amp is inside...

The bazooka sub (metioned above) is decent for casual listening, but if you want pounding bass (like me) it just won't do...

Hope this is the info you wanted...

i had the pioneer upgrade. It was OK? But after insalling components in the front and coixals in the back, WAY better! Along with my alpine type-s 10" sub! Never lookin back! Check out my tC on my sig. I got some pics of the speakers!

////ALL ////ALPINE!
i wish i could get sponsored by them!

thanks. but there is an amp under my drivers seat. small.. but it it there.. i wonder if i can get more out of my speakers if i upgrade my amp...

You probably will not get any more out of those stock speakers with an aftermarket amp. I doubt those speakers can handle too much.

By the way, what makes your Scion a limited edition? the RS 01 is red. that is the only limited edition I know of.

melvynray

ITS "Special Edition"... it came w/ all factory upgrades @ the time.. o.. and i found that the door speakers are jbl... but they suck.. i blew 2... i think i need to replace all lol.

Jowie

Yup, you got the kit I linked to. The PDF shows thats where that amp is installed.

melvynray

thanks 4 that link.. looks to me like the amp powers the speakers.. and there is a different amp in the sub??

change the subject to "no one seems to care" -- you should just get a set of infinity comps and keep the stock setup - it will cost you a few $100 ...which seems like your price range. If you dont like that... get a 25x4 amp and amp them up. For the money - this is your best bet.

melvynray

sounds good. thanks.

n\p - I changed the setting on my headunit so it uses the xA's speaker setup and it sounds lots better then the tC's. Im suprised how much better actually (just from an xOver change). Maybe you should consider doing this.... Just hold that button in (i forget the name...etc ...ets ..i dunno) and it will say "scion tc" just hit your volume button to change to different scion models.

melvynray

really.. ok.. im going to do this now..lol

HUH?

the rs1 came w/ all of the tcs factory upgrades that were out at the time.

Jowie

Only factory options im aware of are choice of tranny, color, and side airbags. Maybe rims. Most other options are dealer installed. Only other things different from factory for RS1 are the number plate, sill plates, and what, the grills?

I dunno - i was just repeating what that one guy said. You said it came w/ a choice of trannY??

the speaker upgrade outside the bazooka is only available in certain areas....and just like the bazooka, it's overpriced and you can get more for the same money elsewhere
