Question MB Quart Speakers

As the title suggests are MB Quart speakers any good?

I'm looking at replacing my standard front door speakers with MB Quart RVF 213's which will be combined with an Alpine head unit. Good choice or not?

Yup, good stuff - have a search on here: Talk Audio - Mobile Electronics Online Magazine

Which Alpine have you got? Probably want a seperate amp regardless.

Many thanks for the replies folks .

I bought the MB Quart component RVF 213's and looking at the Alpine CDA 9856 as the head unit. Also going to get an Alpine CD changer - I'm very old school and Ipods/MP3's scare me (techno phobe ). Amp wise I was planning driving the front and rear door speakers from the head unit and buying a sub (MB Quart again) and an amp to drive the sub.

Is this ok? Which amps are recommended? Also is replacing the rear door speakers worth it?

So many questions, sorry.

Cheers.

Wolfie.

the rears are normally just infill sound, i have replaced my front recently with 6.5" infinity kappa`s and amped up and trust me that is loud enough, for me anyway....

Either leave the rears or remove them - I made the mistake of fitting some sony's which i can't hear and are just soaking up power.

Amping decent components is not essential but will make it better if you use a good amp. Genesis seems a good choice - have a quick look on here Talk Audio - Mobile Electronics Online Magazine

I fitted some MB's in my megane years ago when they first came into the UK, top quality and took a surprising amount of abuse without complaining.
