Purely Premium Performance

Premium Series is MB Quarts finest and top of the line speakers for your system. Using the 40mm inverted dome Titanium WideSphere and the top quality resonant basket and Composite Cone, the Premium line of speakers are a perfect choice for in 2 way coaxials.

Tweeter Tonal Technology

Installation of high-end audio components in a car typically requires compromise due to the inconsistent nature of the environment. One issue in particular is tweeter placement. The ongoing struggle to find the correct balance between on-axis and off-axis placement greatly defines the system’s ability to offer proper staging and imaging.

MB Quart PVM216

The engineers at MB Quart recognized this issue and worked tirelessly on a solution that would offer predictable high-end performance in nearly any mounting location. The result is the artfully crafted WideSphere tweeter by MB Quart. Every WideSphere tweeter is designed to provide equal performance in both on-axis and off-axis configurations. In fact, the tweeter level and frequency response variations between on and off axis are only noticeable on the most expensive laboratory test equipment. The resulting benefit is a wide and deep sound stage with proper imaging placing you front row center of every selection you listen to.


Masterful Midrange Marvel

MB Quart PVM216

For years, speakers were constructed of the most crude and basic materials available. The steel, foam and paper designs got the job done but advancements in technology required speakers that could expose the benefits of the improved electronics they were hooked up to. Early on, the MB Quart team recognized a need to develop better components in order to improve overall system performance. The Composite Cone delivers impactful midrange/midbass and is perfectly matched to the ABS Composite Basket & Butyl Rubber Surround for stunning sound. The ABS basket proved to be more durable than the metal materials used previously but the real benefit was the substantial increase in midbass frequencies produced from small drivers.

Okay for the price

Highs are pretty good and sound like they are in a $200 speaker. Midbass/bass not so much, and on par with a $65 speaker. Cannot handle rated watts. I have them set at around 35w right now, and thats the most they can take without the woofer popping. Tried them on two amps, and the same experience. Can't keep up with my Bostons in the front, but I didn't expect them to. Bostons are rated at 85w and will take 85w before distorting. I just wish the mids were a little stronger on these. I have a 6.5" Tang Band that I molded underneath my console, and it puts these to shame.

Switched to this set after almost immediately blowing the tweeters on some Kicker CS speakers. They also overrate their power handling. Both of my amps put out legit power numbers, and produce more than they're rated for, so if you have a quality amp, make sure to start very low on the gain, and expect them to stay lower. I think 150w would blow the cone out of the housing if it hit once.

If I didn't have a Sonic credit, I would probably get something else, maybe Infinity Kappas. Since I basically didn't have to pay for them, I am okay with the sound.

The basket is big, and I don't think they are actually 6.5 inches because I had to do a bunch of cutting to make them fit, so be aware of that.

awesome price and great power handling

I had my installer put these new mb quart pvm116 speakers in the rear doors of my lexus GS300 to fill the rear area a little, and am very happy with their performance so far. I have polk mm series seps in the front doors, an the mb quarts match up well. they are powered by a 4 channel alpine mrv amp at 75w per channel so they are probably getting about 100w ea. Alpine always under rates their amps...
It's important to note that I have a true 10 farad hybrid stiffening cap to power the diamond 1000.1 monoblock amp for two JLw10's and the alpine for the separates, and the sound stays even and there is no overload of my stock alternator. I run a tsunami 40 farad in my z to run the 1600 watts of JLamp power there with the same success'
the new mb quarts arent as rich and full as the diamond 5.25s that they replaced, but I didn t have $350 laying around to get another set of those. Im still breakin the mb's in so ill post later to give you more info. But so far they are doing their job nicely.
I would also like to highly recommend Polk audio's mm series6.5 component to match with the mb's as the front stage. I am amazed by the rich , full sound they are putting out and the power they handle.

NOT BAD!! Made the right choice

Purchase the MB Quart PVM116 to replace the factory speakers in my 07 Avalanche. Reviewed several speakers before deciding on the PVM116. They sound Fantastic! with stock HU no amp. They supply plenty of base, (better than factory). Mids are nice as well. The speakers look Great. I will be replacing my HU and installing an amp so these girls can do what they do best -- open up and blow. I can hear them asking for more power. WOW!! Made pretty solid, Features are very nise. Ease of use was timely. Removing the the door panels was not too hard.Turned out pretty damn good. Stay tuned more to come!!!

Excellent speakers

Very good value for money. Ive replaced my rear factory speakers (2010 Mazda6) with these. Good quality Pioneer radio can drive them well. Deep bass, excellent tweeters, biggest magnets i've ever seen in tweeters. Play better that JBL power (previous car with good Alpine radio). Strongly recommended. P.S. PVM216s for front are the next step.

Giveaway

I took a chance on these. I didn't expect much out of a $100 set of coaxials.(used for rear fill) Fact is, they sound better than most budget friendly component sets out there. Would definitely recommend.

MB Quart PVM116

I bought these due to the reviews and spec sheet as they seemed like they would be the best speaker with the best low frequency response of any 6.5" speaker wile maintaining crystal clear high's
and i am not dissapointed at all,
only thing i will say is that the cage design of MB quarts is a bit bulky and i had to widen the mounting hole to fit them
