 Well worth it at any price! November 11, 2009

I am ABSOLUTELY thrilled I purchased them. They were professionally installed to my factory NAV stereo system. They produce "live-studio" quality sound with clear separation between notes and a powerful response. You will hear all of the instruments. It impressed the pros to ask me where to get them. And, they told me about the top-grade materials/workmanship used in manufacturing. There's zero distortion when I crank-up the volume (3/4 max) before my ears bleed. I will need a remote and some serious distance to go to max volume. I am not an audiophile but I have paid the money for (Denon, Yamaha, Onkyo, Nakamichi, Bose, B&O, etc.) stereo equipment. It's truly high-end audio-quality sound without spending all that money.
Like others, I heard the cautious "don't buy MB Quart because" they were bought by Maxxsonics and are (1). No longer a German company (2). The quality is not good. But FIRST, No one that said this to me ever heard or installed them. SECOND, Maxxsonics is an American (California) company and if I am going to take a chance on quality then why not American? THIRD, the speakers are still manufactured in Germany. FOURTH, the Premium-Series is 3 levels above their "factory-installed" speaker replacement recommendation.
Lastly, I called Maxxsonics because I got a lot of conflicting installation advice. Also, I needed one extra measurement that I could not find anywhere else. Not only did they answer the phone but they quickly pulled the speaker out of the box to get the information I needed. We talked about configurations and sorted thru all the stuff I was told. They knew I was buying the speakers from someone else and they sent a follow-up email afterwards. That translates to excellent customer service.
Here's my setup: a Jeep Liberty (2002-2006) with factory-installed NAV stereo system. The factory amps found in the front doors were connected to the MBs. The speaker openings are larger than 6.5 inches so adaptive brackets were used. The tweeters fit perfectly. Forget what anyone says - you do not have to buy shallow-mount speakers for the rear doors. The factory-speakers we pulled out were full-sized. The MB crossovers have 4 settings (0, -1, -3 and -5). I chose zero because I usually set treble at +2. To test the speakers I burned a cd with songs that had lots of transitions, deep-deep bass lows and really-high end notes. The MBs played it like I was sitting in front of a live band. There's no other stereo equipment in my car. Anybody can spend $5k and get great sound - but do it for less than $500.
I think one reviewer said it best " BUY THEM."

From the minute I opened the box and felt the weight of the magnets - running my thumbs along the rubber-reinforced polypropylene cones - I knew I'd found what I was looking for.
Finding flaws in audio samples is a sickness I've been plagued with since MP3 outpaced CDA. When I dropped these bad boys in my 99 Civic, I was just about cured.
One note: because the factory grills/mounting spot in my Civic was a bit narrow, I had to cut into it to mount them. But amazing sound comes at a price.
Pros:
Solid materials, ingenious construction and the clearest sound I've heard in a car yet. I can't turn my head unit high enough to distort these babies.
Cons:
I gotta divert extra balance wattage to these BC my rear deck Pioneers would totally blow pushing what the Quarts can handle.
Highs are quite bright. Tune the tweeters down a few DB with the x-overs if you don't have a full system (amp+subs)

I bought these speakers for my 01 Expedition. Build quality is good but the crossovers are oversized. The crossovers take up alot of room unnessarily.
I've read reviews on how the tweeters will fill the cabin unlike most other speakers so I was definitely looking forward to hearing them. But, since these speakers didn't fit in stock speaker place I had to have them custom install. Putting the tweeters on the trim next to the windshield was a necessary evil. The highs are way to bright, they are ear piercing. I have them turned down all the way and still need to add attenuators to modify.
The speakers can certainly handle a lot of power but the treble/highs are a major disappointment.

Bought two sets of these for Xmas to replace the factory Bose speakers in my Maxima. Had them professionally installed and holy hell are these speakers incredible. The wide sphere technology in the tweeters disperses the highs at such a larger radius than your normal dome tweeters that it literally fills the car with sound. Usually your ears can pinpoint where the highs are coming from but these literally envelope you. It's hard to stop grinning like an idiot while driving. I had the tweeters installed in the doors based on some of the other reviews I've read on here. The highs are VERY crisp and VERY bright, but can get a bit shrill at higher volumes.I actually had to turn the treble down! I put on "The Great Gig in the Sky" by Pink Floyd and the detail and richness was unbelievable! It literally made the hairs stand up on my arms.
One of the reasons I bought these components was their sensitivity is greater than a lot of the speakers I researched. The wider the sensitivity range,the lower and higher frequencies, or sound, can be produced. Hence you"re able to hear more of how the artist originally created the song. For rock and jazz it makes a huge difference. To test the bass I put on Hov's The Blueprint 3 and it was studio quality sound. The midrange produces bass that hits low, clean and tight. Can't replace a subwoofer of course but it's close. The crossovers are aluminum cased and very solidly constructed.
One thing i did want to mention was that I have a Clarion CX609 receiver instead of the factory Bose system. Since it has a nine band equalizer, my review may be a little biased since I have more flexibility to tune the speakers. When I first got the MB quarts installed, it took me about a half hour of adjusting to get the sound I wanted. Regardless of tuning however, these components still sound 1000 times better than the Bose.
The guys who did my install were extremely impressed. Like many people in the audio industry, they thought MB Quart made sub par products after being bought my Maxxonics. It completely changed their perception, as well as mine. I'm so glad I bought these. For the price offered on Amazon, it may as well be stealing for what you get. I've never been more excited to drive! I'm buying two sets for my brothers truck as a graduation gift. MB Quart has brought aural bliss to my ears and a smile to my face! What a fantastic set of components!!

When you buy top of the line speakers you expect good things but these are simply great! The speakers are build very well, you can tell that they engineered them in every aspect. These speakers where designed with options in mind, if you want to use them in a Coax configuration you can, it's simple to unscrew the center cone and screw the tweeter stand in it's place, the wires for the tweeter pass though the center of the speaker cone and out the other side. The Crossover is build like a tank, it's heavy and very solid. The internal components are very big, and it has a feeling of being over build. To magnets on the speaker are small but very powerful! The magnets on the tweeters are as big as the tweeter itself and will fly out of your hand if you get them to close to anything metal!
The sound from the tweeters is very good, its not like dome tweeters at all. when listening to music the sound from the tweeters spreads out around you so you have a feeling of not knowing where it comes from. The speakers sound amazingly clear and precise at any volume.
