I DO know that foam is effective when deployed in larger form as a sound absorber for bass in a home theater. Interested to see how it will perform.

I'm gonna hate

correct me if im wrong but doesnt that scion have 7 cubes of trunk space? thats pretty nice tbh

NO chance. 5 cube box I put in mine and I had to cut the side and rear panels to fit. With the seats down for sure

Because it's the Scion Tiny car. That is what Tc stands for after all! :P

EDIT: I know, not really.

FINALLY GOT TO WORK ON THE CAR AGAIN!!

Here is what's new. Bought myself some Pioneer 2 5/8" midranges and am going to install them in the front side air vents. I do not drive her in the winter so no need to use the heat.

There is plenty of room to angle them as well once I cut some of the duct away

I bought a Zapco Ref 650.6 as the driver for the new active 3 way I am building.

I am thinking about wrapping the vent borders in speaker cloth but I am not sure.

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY nice weather finally got some more work done. All the sound dampening made the hatch too heavy for the factory struts soooo.

First I removed the bolts at the base of the strut.

Then remove the retainer clips at the top.

Then put the base back on

And WALLA the crappy factory struts replaced with Strongman Shocks.

Bought them from

They are very good and will handle the weight on sound dampening AND a spoiler.

Got some more time. Got the new Jl audio terminal on, i must say that the JL audio battery terminal is the best i have ever seen. Modular and an incredibly well made product. Too bad they dont make it anymore only on amazon or ebay.

Also i am undertaking an adventerous project and am relocating half a dozen of the fuses from my inside fuse panel to under the hood. Using this gem
