I just want to know, what would caraudio.com do in this situation. I'm up for all reccomedations.

I have a 08 scion tc with the factory sub, and I want to do a pretty simple setup. I work at a gps tracker company, so I have got to have trunk space for my toolbox, however if a sub setup can justify me having to lose all if my space, so be it. I plan on running the factory 140-160a alt, 2 duracell group 24/34 Agm batteries, and around 1k on the sub. In my previous car (08 cobalt) I had two re audio ***-15's, off of 1500-2000, and it was loud, I just had to lose the back seats. So here is what I need. I am kinda picky, I want to keep all the amps the same brand. I would like to run an active setup, but am not sure yet.

1k ish sub amp

70rmsx4 4ch

70rmsx2

A sub around the ratings of the sub amp,

The newest "in" wire. Back on my last build it was knu& welding wire.

Tl;dr: need amp and sub reccomedations for scion tc.

So your going to go with a sub stage on 1000wrms and completely disregard your front stage keeping up?

Also you can save some money by skipping out on those batteries. On 1K a good battery in the engine bay and maybe the big 3 should be plenty to keep your voltage up.

I already have the two batteries from my cobalt, and I'm hoping an active front stage on 70-100w should be fine, but I'm no pro at that. Oh and I already did the big 3 in my scion with 0/2 gauge welding wire I had left over, more than likely I'm going to sell the other battery I I won't need it.

Edit: also I forgot too add I already have kicker cs components that were ran on a rockford 150.2

Oh and I forgot too add, the whole car has been sound deadened ( when I worked at bestbuy the discount in dynamat was pretty legit)

What headunit are you going to use for active processing? Or did you plan to do that with your amps? Budget?

I have a 80prs, but right now it is just factory , I plan on putting it in once I have a little time.

And it depends on a few things. I was thinking of running the hifonix 5ch or a belle series 5ch, because realistically it would be cheaper. But here is my budget, might be able to wiggle a bit.

Sub: $150-200

4ch: $100-150

Sub amp:$150-200

Wiring:$200 for everything.

If I find better components I'd be willing to spend $250-300

If I went with the hifonix 5 ch I'd save about $100 which I can put towards other things.
