Hooptie Scion TC build

[Popwarhomie]

So here is my hooptie 2011 Scion TC build. Goal is low 50s under $3k total. Six 12s on 5k.

2011 Scion TC 6 speed.

Cheap 3 way active headunit.

SQ 100x4

PRV 8s and Timpano tweeters.

Smart Bass 5k at .66ohm.

Autotech 320 amp alt. OEM battery still in but unhooked ground.

40ah of yinlong lithium.

Box being built. Been like 5 years since I built a box..... 14.32 cubes gross. 11.74 cubes net. 8.86" of port per cube tuned to 28hz. Was told to go small on port area with these cheap subs.

Subs. Black Diamond DIA-R12D2s. Paid $69 each.

Why not just flat wall if you're gutting everything behind the B pillar?

I’ve had enough walls.

Do you still have the walled focus?

No I sold it to my Orion buddy.

I like this! I set the same budget for my demo car build doing 2 15’s in a “wall” (really a box In the back with side and top plates to contour to look like a wall). Best part about a setup like this is if you blow a sub it’s $69 for a new one and don’t even have to bother with a recone 😂🤣. Throw em right in the garbage lmao.

Exactly. Unfortunately due to inflation the subs are now $100 each...

Inflation has hit everything now! It ain’t gonna get better anytime soon either 😢.

Busted my ass in this 90* weather and got it playing. Gain is all the way down on the amp and it's pretty impressive so far.

Single baffle but I have alot of window bracing inside.

I hit this thread thinking that was going to see some TC Sounds subs doing work in a hooptie.

Why not put a couple of subs in back of the box to take advantage of the angle of the hatch?

One day of having an LC1 again and I hate it so much. The noise introduced from 1/4-3/8 gain on the knob is awful. Ordered my favorite EFX RLC knob today. My lithium is pretty close to my Taramps amp and the runs are super short, the welding cable didn't want to flex nicely so I wasn't happy with how it looked. Ordered some Knukonceptz 1/0 OFC to redo them.

Sunroof is making some god awful rattle so I gotta figure that one out. I hate sunroofs so much...

Gotta get some carpet to wrap the box as well...
