    Hi,

    is there any notable difference you are aware of in having 8 vs. 6 speakers in terms of audio experience? what speakers do you get exactly? (e.g. 2 front tweeters, 2 mid range, 2 back tweeters, 2 back mid range, etc.)
    I mean, without a DSP that can fully exploit them, what difference does it make to have 8 vs. 6 speakers?
    Moreover, anybody knows the speakers wattage rating?

    Thanks,
    P-

    I noticed the 8 speaker Prius III was able to produce better highs while the 6 speaker Prius II produced more bass.

    $1000 for 2 extra speakers, 5 more cd slots and bluetooth was not worth it for me.
