Default 4 Speaker Stereo :(

Did anyone else pick up on the line in the KBB review that says the tC has a 160 watt, 4 speaker stereo? I was expecting that there would be 6 as that seems to be the standard for most good stereos, especially considering this one is a Pioneer. Anybody know if this is correct or not?? :?

It is six speakers. Four regular speakers and two tweeters, just like almost every other 6 speaker stereo.

6.5"s up front and 5.25"s in the back? Sounds pretty weak to me.

from what i understand. the four speaker 'stereo' means the radio has four channels of speaker output. but it (the tc) will have six speakers. (tweeters are speakers too, don't discrimanate)
as for stock systems, most sound good for the first year or two. then the paper cones and foam surrounds start to suck.

and the 6" speakers up front are really good. what did you want an 18" door speaker?

I don’t have rear speakers, I was told it has to do with staging or something like that, I happen to like no speakers in the back, but it sucks for people in the back because all they get is bass, good thing I have no back seat.
