[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8496622, member: 576029"] Spoiler to keep you reading – this is where we are now: [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/2011%20Scion%20tC/20160414_224619.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/2011%20Scion%20tC/20160415_005829.jpg[/IMG] Several years ago, I built up a 2005 Scion tC for a friend.

This build log will walk through our efforts, as there are several intermediate steps through now. The first thing I noticed was the JL ZR650ci tweeters weren’t working.
