Cold Air Intake, Subwoofer, or Cruise Control
if you want added performance get the intake.... if your a music lover then get the sub and if you take road trips and want to make them easier get the cruise control.. good luck deciding
If all three apply, I suggest going for the thing that will bring you the most benefit first. If it were me, because all three apply to me also, I would get cruise first, sub second, and intake third.
The cruise will give you the most comfort while driving. Comfort is #1 in my book.
The sub will give you better sound which is important but it has nothing to do with comfort. Plus the factory system is ok for a little while.
The cold air intake will help a little, and I do mean a little, but doesn't help with comfort or other enjoyment in your car. The performance gain is not significant enough to put it above any other purchase mentioned.
Personally, I'm out of order somewhat. The car came with cruise. I bought the cold air intake first because my wife has put severe restrictions on space that I may use for subs and I haven't come up with a good plan yet.

go with of course you use the most but if you're gonna eventually get all 3 go with cruise b/c I don't think you can install that after the car is made but if I'm wrong go with the sub or intake because those will be used at all times unlike the cruise control...
Im sure the cruise control is a good buy thats why i think im leaning towards that. The cold air intake i want but i dont know if its worth it for the differance that it makes. Then i f a wanted a sub i know what i would get out of that
having owned the xb for a year now i can easily tell you that cruise is/would be worthless. i mean seriously when would you use it? i drive the xb in all sorts of conditions (including frequent interstate use) and unless you are moving across the middle of nowhere for a significant span of time at a significant speed then why would you need cruise? unless you like setting yourself to get tickets. which driving at a constant high speed will surly do.
your enjoyment in driving the vehicle would be more enhanced by an intake (yeah its more than a little unless you drive an automatic if so don't bother) and honestly any cruising xB needs a sub box of some sort.

To me, the sub is _really_ worthless, and the Scion AEM intake is nearly so. Scion has _never_ published a horsepower figure for the Scion AEM intake and independent tests show only a horsepower or two gain with the the Scion AEM intake. Better to get an aftermarket short intake for half the price if you really want an intake.
The Rosta cruise control kit sold by the Southeast Toyota distributor seems to be pretty good. It appears to be well-engineered and the only things I dislike about it is the use of Scotchlok wire-tapping devices and that generic "stalk" control arm. This is a summer project for my Scion.
