tC pushes out 160watts, so its got a good heart and plenty of room upgrades!

Get the RS1. I love those red limited edition tC's. They are so sweet looking and come stock wit the upgraded 18" Scion wheels!!!

Yeah, that would help out a lot, these Scion's are created for sound quality if you do them up right. Remember though, insilate your ride! Raddles = Bad.

Hey Rob, yeah the RS1's upgrade on rim size is awesome! Unless you want to be rubbing the fender, 18" is a good size to go and fills the wheel well in nicely.

max 52watts x 4

I actually was really impressed with my stock system when I bought the car - some people thought it was all aftermarket stuff just by listening to it.

Thats max power rating and a useless number. I would say it most likely puts out ~15 watts rms/ch. There is a little room for improvement with just a deck but not much. Most after market decks only do about 18-22 rms/ch. To get better sound the best thing to do is an external amp for the speakers.

yeah, thats why I noted that it was max per channel.

non-distorted range is like max 12-15watts per channel.
