An instlaler freind of mine has the same car, scion tc. He replaced the deck and amplified the stock speakers and added some subs and it sounds pretty amazing. Those stock speakers sound pretty good when amped and properly tuned.

Wow thanks for all the info guys. I do have the user manual for the EQX but opted to bring it to a local installer who has a lot of experience with them. Once he mentioned opening it up and maybe replacing some chips inside I knew it was out of my hands.

I bought an Alpine CDA 9856 to replace the stock HU. It was a pretty great deal for $190, and the 2v preouts won't be a problem with the EQX. They didn't have the dash kit in stock so I can't install it until Saturday, than I will visit the local EQX guru some time next week when he has some free time.

I shall let you all know how it turns out.

And once again, thanks for the great input.

i agree factory deck=problem. The CDA9856 is great deck at the price point its at with the features it has and ease of use. your gonna like that one. but careful with all that power on the brahma. when it makes that poping noise its kindof saying ....."screw you"... the one i had was the first sub i ever owned and it did the same thing and didnt take long before it gave out. i then had it reconed and it was never the same....

Great choice on the deck. Alpine is pretty high up there on the quality level. The only downside was you bought the one with 2v preouts. Thats kinda low. It will help a ton though. Hope it all sounds good.
