MB Quart PVI 216

A revelation... WOW Maxxsonics did not screw up the brand!!!

First off this is not my first rodeo. I have been in the car audio game for 20+ years. I have owned JL Audio XR 3 way components; Old school MB Quart reference and Q series components, Xtant, you name it is been either installed in one of mine or my colleagues vehicles. These components were a revelation. I was very skeptical about Maxxsonics MB Quart. Well not any longer. My side by side comparison isn't exactly fair; but is typical at this price point. I have a 2000 silverado extended cab in which I had installed an old school alpine 3527 to drive the highs, a jl audio j2 500 watt monoblock driving 2 JL Audio 12W6v1 old school subs and an alpine CDA-9885. Well I had Boston S65's along with the factory tweets so that's 2 tweets per side and a midbass. Got these because one of my Boston's bit the dust after 8 months... Funny because I never clip my amp and 25Wx4 isn't outside the specs. Guess 25Wx4 used to mean something. Long story short the previous combo sounds like it is under water in a side by side comparison. Yes the tweets are a little bright, but hey they have a level control on the crossover and you do have treble controls right? I was able to use the eq properly for the first time on my Alpine. Got the treble at 15k on +2; not +5. The bass used to be 200HZ with a Q2 setting at -2 to make up for the Boston's shortcomings. Now it is at 80HZ (my crossover points) at +2. OMG no more gaps! It's so seamless. Buy these!!! Even at full retail they are a deal. I think I would compare the quality of manufacture, sound, and components to that of the JL Audio XR line. Believe me that is a compliment. Although I think the mids on these don't sound nearly as forced as the JL. I may never leave my truck again. :D

Awesome Sound!!

MB Quarts never dissapoint!! if u dnt like these speakers you dnt like pure audio nirvana. the sound is awesome. u do need a good quality amp to power them up or they will sound bad due to them being underpower (causes distortion). but with good power they will sing, loud & very clear. the tweeters are bright. but theres a difference between bright & harsh. i use my head units X-overs 7 left the amp alone.the tweeter is attenuated at -03dB. i have a audio control 3.1Eq molded in my dash & found if i left the front speakers only & all settings on -0dB the Mb Quarts sound great. i have 2layers of Dynamat extreme tru out the car. i love the pure sound of MB Quarts, others just need to get used to the good sound they produce.

AMAZING!!

You can not buy a better speaker for the price. This is my second vehicle I have installed the Mb Quart Premium in. The highs are crystal clear and the mid bass is outstanding. They perform really well on a stock setup(current setup) and they really come alive when you amp them(previous setup). They can take a serious beating too.
The 4 for ease of use is because the cross over.

IF YOU WANT THE BEST

I have two sets of these components connected to the MB QUART 4125 amp. They are installed in a Nissan Titan crew cab using the stock radio and they sound awesome. I only have the amp turned up half way on each of the four channels. I listen to rock and country. The vocals are amazing. These speakers put out a lot of base. You will not have to add a sub. I decided to run 10 gauge monster speaker wire that you would use in a home theater. I have had many awesome sound systems in my life but this is really an awesome package. These are competition speakers that can really crank and sound crystal clear at the same time. If you want the best then just purchase these.

New amp on Discus 4125

I said I would review these again with a new amp and so here it is. Let me just say first that the MB 4125 amp is solid and clean I got it cheap compared to Alpine or Rockford and it as just as good as any amp I've heard with zero distortion and pleanty of power. These speakers sound just as good if not better than I hoped they would. They sound good at low volumes and good at high volumes. These are by far the best speakers I have ever owned I find myself making up excuses to go for a drive just to hear them. Plus they sound good with all types of music, I listen to Rap, Rock, R&B, new and old, Opera, Taiko, watch DVDs in my car for the sound alone. I hear things that I never knew were there. Plain and Simple I Love my Quarts regardless of where they where made. People forget that China has a lot of great facilities too not just those cheap sweat shop factories we always here about on the news.

*Admin: A well built factory that produces quality products, regardless of location, still produces quality products.*

All I can say is WOW

These things are real and there spectacular. I have these running up front and a pair of the new Rockford Power 6.5s running in the rear off a busted amp My Rockford 501x puts out distortion I bought it used on ebay so thats my bad but It does put out clean power with the volume cranked up and I must say these things are top notch the tweeters are definitely piercing I had to fade to the rear a little but the crossovers can be tuned down to -6. This is not a bad thing trust me because most people will say they can only crank there speakers so much before they distort. If you buy these you will never say that instead you might be saying something like I can only crank my Quarts until they make my ears bleed! With some fine tuning you can not and will not find a better speaker. The bass response is there if you want it no doubt. These will handle anything you through at them and the only ask for 70rms can't beat them I don't dare you to try cuz it will be your loss. I'll follow up when I get a new amp installed probably going with the MB QUART 4125.

excellent premium speakers

These speakers are crisp and clean. When powered with an appropriate amplifier the speakers reveal the clarity and sound pressure levels they can produce. The speakers need equalization and a subwoofer coupled with them to produce a truly full range system. If you like loud and clean sounding audio at an insanely reasonable price, these are the speakers for you.

great quality as always

Have always enjoyed MB Quarts products. Nice crisp highs without hurting your ears, warm vocals. Would buy again.

Awesome for the money

I have a 99 Mercedes and these are in the doors. The performance is excellent. The really nice thing about these is that the sound they produce goes everywhere even if someones leg is in front of the speaker in the door. The tweeters are amazing! they reproduce sound in all directions so no matter where they are placed you get all the sound. One word of warning though, they Tweeters are BIG, they aren't some lame 1" tweeter, these are monsters with very powerful magnets that are the entire size of the speaker. One of the great things about this set is that it's very versatile depending on the your installation situation. they can be converted to 2-way speakers easily and still look great. MB Quart really thought of everything when they designed these. They are by far one of the best quality build speakers Ive seen in a long time.

Best speakers I ever bought

The over all sound quality is amazing. I would like to find out about their line of home theater speakers because I will certainly trust these guys!
