Depends what MB Quarts speakers. I have Discus components and coaxials waiting to go in. I haven't heard them too much, but I liked the ones in the wall at the local audio place.

I've heard the Reference ones, which, with a little sound shaping sounded wonderful. I haven't heard the Elemental Designs, but the 6500s sound like a good pair of performers too. Don't know about the 6000s.

What's your budget? What kind of music do you listen to? Are you going to amplify them? Who's installing them? What's the installer's skill level?

Thanks chillaxin! Obviously the car audio market is flooded with numerous brands and then those brands often have a few lines within them (re: "good", "better", "best"). Unfortunately, the correlation between price tag and sound quality isn't always very strong. Add in personal preference and I don't see how anyone can suggest ONE brand to anyone else without knowing a little more about what he/she's expecting (see my previous/above questions). A car audio SYSTEM is broken down to: 1/3 equipment, 1/3 install, and 1/3 tuning. If any of those components are lacking, you're not getting the most for your hard earned money...but I digress.

Here are a few suggestions of speakers I've used that I feel have a good "overall" performance, and are an outstanding value:

Image Dynamics CTX series
Oz Audio Vector series
Arc Audio KAR series

All of the above can be had for under ~$180 for a 6.5" component set, and even less for a coaxial version. If you need help finding them, feel free to contact me. I'll be happy to help with install tips/tricks too.

Cheers,
Robyn
