stock speakers are terrible, just look! - Toyota Yaris Forums

The size of a magnet tells about as much about the performance of a speaker as my breath does about the weather.

people like to compare size of magnets all the time... IT SAYS SQUAT... It's actually desirable to have weak magnets at times.... and small doesn't always mean weak. The strongest magnets in the world (neo) are found on speakers... and the magnet sizes are tiny.

Alnico is a very expensive magnet that some people will pay extra for. Some people swear by them.

The yaris' stock speakers are crap.... not cause of the size of the magnet, but due to its outdated motor design which gives a poor Bl curve, lack of x-max, and lack of a quality crossover. But that's the case with probably 99.99% of stock speakers.... and about 70% of Aftermarket speakers.

Oh... and chrome colored plastic doesn't make subs any louder or better either.

serious... buddy of mine about 18 months ago were telling me that the shop he works at has put 8" midbass's (think they were kickers) in the stock locations on at least one yaris. He worked at a Car Toys in Tacoma/Federal way area (think South of Seattle). Haven't talked to him for a long time... see him motoring about facebook tho.
