I've been wondering this for some time now . Why is it that the 2nd gen Scion tC comes with a subwoofer from Pioneer and the xB which is a larger car does not. Larger cars need that boom. In Japan, the Toyota Corolla Rumion has a 9 speaker sound system. (8 speakers 1 subwoofer), in America our 2nd gen xBs don't even come with a subwoofer what gives?

Here's something I watched on youtube about the Corolla Rumion, it's pretty cool imo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiYJPxIHaGQ

why do you want a crappy sub that sounds like poo?

If you want bass, I doubt factory bass (whether from the non-subbed or factory subbed tC) will be enough, though if you think it'll be enough you can always snag one off the EE, and then sell it back on the EE to get money for your aftermarket setup.

I don't do much dancing in my car anyway, so my "1st gen" tC is all factory when it comes to the sound system.

What's up my fellow xB lovers thanks for the quick responses. When I say 2nd gen tC I mean the 2008+ tC models. They come with some small 6" sub, but it puts out good enough bass. I don't want too much bass, I'm not into that SPL stuff anymore, I just want something that does not take up much space. After conducting some research, I found some Bazooka sub that is modified to fit in the 2008+ Scion xB. It seems like a good deal, the only thing I dislike is that it has the Bazooka label on it. Oh well. Thanks once again.

Well I have a 10 inch 200w kenwood powered sub and its plenty of bass for me and only takes up about a cubic foot of space in the rear. Check out the Infinity Basslink.

Like many other accessories for the xB2, a rear mounted subwoofer is available. Take a look at TRDsparks "electronics" offerings:

Yah I saw that one earlier, call me picky, but the only thing I hate about it is the Bazooka label, while the rest of the system is pioneer. I wish it would have a Scion logo on it.

Depending on the size of the speaker, you could always buy it just for the box, and slap a pioneer sub in there.

7 speed gear box? FARK! WE NEED IT RIGHT HERE IN THE US.

8" dual coil sub -- think it's the same as the Rumion.

It's a factory sub, so performance is compromised (just as with the OE HU and door drivers), but it's there and the price could definitely be worse (thank you, TRDsparks ).

Just as with the OE electronics, there are other possibilities, but that's your choice. It's available and provides OK basic performance. If you want more, go aftermarket and/or personal build !

do you think that woofer would work with stock head unit, or only the upgraded unit?

scionxB2ndgensuperfan

I'm sure it will also work with the stock head unit.

stock sub feels great for me

Lucky tC owner. The stock system in the xB is woeful. It is even worse than my mother's 2003 Toyota Camry (Non JBL system)

Isn't the tC's stock sub made by Bazooka?

scionxB2ndgensuperfan

No, Pioneer
