Hello all!

Glad I found this site!

I have an 08 Xb with the prioneer premium stereo.  I went this route so in the future adding a sub/amp would hopefully be easier.

My car is parked on the street alot so its important to me to keep things looking stock.

The first change I'm looking at is upgrading the stock compoment speakers in the front & puttuing coaxes in the back so the kids will like the sound better.

Many of the speakers I'm looking at have an effeciency of 88db.  Some are in the low 90s.

With the head unit having a realistic 10 - 12 watts, taking a big step back in effeciency will really limit dynamic range.

Who here has changed speakers, not added amps?
What speakers did you change to and did you notice a decrease or increase in volume at the same volume setting?

Now if someone has access to actual stock specs that would be great, but so far I havn't been able to find any.

Thx in advance.

Hi,

I've had mine for about 1k now.

My first tank full (from dealer so probably not topped off) was 20 mpg
My second was 25.4
third (with my first 100 mile round trip) 27.8
last one 24.5

With mostly city, but driving like an old man (i'm 50 so I can.....LOL) I'm averaging about 25.

These are based on miles/gallons topping off every fillup.  Computer is always about 1-2 higher.

I purchased mine from Andrew Toyota/Scion in Glendale WI.

Because of how hectic my schedule was, I signed the papers 2/28 & picked her up with 23 miles on 3/1.

I have a tick over 1g now...
