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.
Well as you know the sonic "space" is finite, and any wavelengths that are dominant in the space are going to push out others.. just the way it is. Road noise is a great example of this. I'm saying the 12's may be overpowering the other components of the stock stereo system, aggrevating the perception of bad quality..

The 2013 early HU scions had shit cones, someone want to chime in with specs or pics? I know the newer all-touchscreen HU's on the fr-s switched over to polys
