How many speakers does a car need?

My sound car has 5. Two mid range, two tweeters and 1 sub and I'm 100% sure it'll sound better than a stock 86.

The US version running the 3 way fronts have the potential of sounding great once some work is done for those who want it for sound. I'll probably just leave it stock unless I can't stand it though

Release date is April 6th, not August 6th

They are aiming to sell 1000 a month, that is not how many they are producing

Opps sorry i guess he was refering to the electronic gizmo toyo was working on...and Scion will most likely come in the "G" trim level take a look at the interior shot on toyotas website and you will see those same ugly three knobs near the shifter ...i haven't seen a scion frs yet with the upgrade gtr look a like buttons instead

Source?

edit. Multiple news outlets are report the on sale date is April 6th in Japan, and they are aiming to sell 1,000 per month in Japan. There is still nothing about the US that I can find.

I'm guessing those rims on the blue photo are the standard ones on the base model

with prices being what they are for trd add-ons, I would opt for the RC over the TRD if both were available. I believe that the money needed to add a decent headunit, summer wheels, and paint would come out to be substantially less. Left over money = aftermarket upgrades.

steelies= winter tires

Spoiled with poor imaging and poor soundstage? lol

I used to be into "more is better" too until I heard a well setup front stage only system

[DRACHENV6]

^Amen on the front soundstage. I had a set of Adire Audio Koda's in my first car and they were amazing.

I honestly like the rc, im going to swap rims right away, the headunit will be swapped eventually, im getting a black one, so bumpers are fine with me, the only thing i need is a/c

Makes sense no? plus, i've seen those 16 inch wheels on an FR-S in pictures around here.

Could you post the picture? because I haven't seen one yet.

Sounds like mostly phase cancellation and comb filtering with that many speakers in a small area.

So it isn't front mid-ship then.

I've never seen a picture of a FR-S with 16" wheels, and I highly doubt Scion will offer them standard, but maybe as an option. I was told at the L.A. auto show back in 2005 that Scion offered 17" wheels standard on the tC because of market feedback; I don't see the market going for smaller wheels some seven years later.
