mb quart....to buy or not to buy , i have been seriously thinking about buying some MB quart Q series 218's (6.5's) and have been repeatedly told by my friend who has been installing car stero equip for almost a decade that MB quart sucks........and that i should save my money and get something else........damn....i dont know what to think, thats why im posting.....also my roomie loves mb quart and knows my friend but he loves mb quart but lacks the expert credentials, but he can make a system sound great...i dont know what to think...

 

Mb makes good speakers, but speakers always come down to personal preference. So listen to them first and make your onw decision.

 

i have a set of mb quart QM 218.61 that i havent installed yet, but my friend has them in his monte carlo and his car sounds like a mobile concert. the vocals are really clear. the only thing i didnt really like about them was that the highs were too high. you have to do some eq tunning to get the tweeters to be a little more ear friendly.

 

those are one of the best brands on the market....they are great speakers, the sound quality is at a completly different level from all other speakers. Sure there are better companies out there like focal and dyn audio, but MB quart is some quality ****.

I highly recomend their stuff.

Definitely true. While I'm not the biggest fan of MBquart, they have been around for a long time and have a very good reputation.

I also have to agree that they sound a little too "bright" and can cause fatigue (your ears get tired) when played at moderate to high volume. They aren't the easiest to listen to at higher volumes (unlike a/d/s, Boston).

If you're looking to spend the dough you should definitely listen to a few other high quality components. Boston, a/d/s, focal, diamond, etc have very strong followings......but everyone has different taste in music and sound. What sounds amazing to one, can sound like **** to others

By the way....I love Boston Acoustics.....the Z series rocks!!

 

MB Quart or Boston Acoustics, either one would be a nice set up

 

thanks for the replies......any other speakers that are somewhat cheaper that you would recommmend?

 

You might want to check out Boston Acoustics Rally series. They are about a 100 bucks less than the Pros and the tweeter is a little smoother.....only draw back is power handling, but in your case it should be fine.

Try and listen to them.

 

Alpine R-Type Component Set.

 

any suggestions about focal point?

 

Again with speakers its mostly about taste i recommand Bazooka RXS650 (RX Series 6 inch Separates) Component Set. not that cheap but not that pricy either...

 

Polk Momo's but they aren't going to be cheaper

 

damn, decisions decisions.

 

i have some people that would be good for you. pm me if you want more details.
