    The wife and I were looking at an '09 Pri the other day. This was a Package 5. I noticed the audio quality was quite poor. Even adjusting the pseudo-equalizer didn't help much. I suspect the problem lies in the speakers used. Has anyone changed the factory spears on their Pri and got much bettery dynamic audio. If so, to what brand/part number?

    I added B-Quiet Extreme and it sounded noticeably better, especially the bass. It should also block out more road noise as well but that wasn't noticeably to me.

    You can try crutchfield and read the reviews of what people have posted. Crutchfield has very good customer support though their prices are a bit higher. You can find out the part number of the items you want and perhaps find it elsewhere.
