Scion tC Audio System Problems

  • Problem with 2007 scion tc front speakers

    Written by: caia22 on Feb 25, 2010 4:36:22 PM

    When I listen to rock music the front speakers sound scratchy. It's not so noticable when I listen to music other than rock. I've tried lowering the treble and it helped a tiny bit but the speakers still sound bad. The dealer said it's "normal" and I'm just hearing symbols from the songs... Does anyone have any suggestions? Does anyone else have this problem?
