that's a question i'm not sure we'll ever get answered. but it has crossed my mind since the hakone issues started popping up. they very intentionally changed things, for what appears to us to be no significant benefit.

but note that tcoat has said that bluetooth calls go only through the lower door speakers, meaning that there's some other significant changes made for the wiring as well.

i have been curious to try a 4, 6, or 8 ohm speaker in the doors just to see if it makes a difference in the final quality, but i'd have to find a willing hakone victim first.
