A mild dip or headlight dim is manageable, but losing 500 rpm is some serious leeching that you need to sort out.

Remember, the 500 rpm drop is only when the system is absolutely MAXED. On a daily basis, I have the system at less than 25% of max gain without any rpm dips. Also, I would like to get a new battery for the BRZ anyway, as it doesn't hold a charge very well in the cold.

My truck had a Pioneer bluetooth stereo in it, and I couldn't hear any loss in quality between auxiliary and wireless. However, with the BRZ, all of my music, even FLAC, sounds like trash over bluetooth.\
Hey, I do some music production too!
What's this about paper cones? The images I've seen of the stock speakers showed poly cones and rubber surround...
As long as I keep the gain low enough (which I always do), I don't see why 12s would be any more overpowering than any other system.
