    Hey all,

    Quick Q...what are the specs on the 2010 Prius JBL system?? I have been looking at TOYOTAJBL.COM website to see when Toyota will update it. Speaker size, wattage, etc.??

    Finally found the answer: 8 speakers, 440 watts. It looks like an identical system (component-wise) to the Camry JBL system.

    Has anyone here listened to the Camry JBL system? How does the Prius JBL compare to it?? For me, the Camry JBL system is excellent!

    I thought the JBL audio in the Camry was excellent.

    I still rate the Camry better (even on our 2002's JBL audio system without the fancy psychoacoustics found on the current gen Camry) but it's light years ahead of our 2005 Prius' JBL audio system (I heard it was improved for 2006 but I've never listened to it).


    So basically, it's pretty good from what I can remember but I think the extra sound insulation found in a Camry makes for better sound (all else being equal). At least that's what my ears tell me. Maybe I'm just talking crap lol. But that's my experience.

    Also, turning the volume up a bit helps. I normally play CDs at Vol 8 but if I listen to techno or classical music, vol 20 sounds a LOT better. (after tweaking the equalizer)
