Reply With QuoteYou obviously looked at the MBQuart reference...I would look at the Diamond Audio M3, 391i or the Boston Acoustics SL95...
I would recommend using the MB Quart 6x9 seperates (RCE269) you can also coax mount them so you dont have to cut any more holes.
I have the same situation as Essexjet, 6x9 holes and would like to run separates. I went and listened to a couple of different MB Quart 6.5 separates. I wasn't that crazy about the Reference series. The next series up (can't remember the name) sounded much more open and detailed to me. Unfortunately the RCE269 is the Reference series. I'm wondering if they're available as separate pieces so that the better crossovers and tweeters could be used with the 6x9 woofers. Anyone know if that can be done and approximately how much it would cost for a setup?
Thanks,

DH, you're speaking of the premium line. Unfortunately the 6x9 stops at the Refrence series. As far as purchasing the parts to the set, it is possible, but will cost a grip. Seems wierd, but true... Another thing is that the premium crossovers are made to work with premium line, a call can be made if you're seriously interested in this product. 2 reasons MB doesn't contimue the 6x9 in the premium or q lines. One is that they wouldn't sell enough to make a profit, and 2 is that the person who looks for high sq usually isn't willing to go with a 6x9 in a door application especially since a round speaker wil out perform it in a high end SQ aplication.
The SL95 is, like most Boston Acoustics, is a very smooth sounding speaker that can only be credited to the change in the tweeter's mount that improved it's off axis response. We started carrying the Polk Momo's recently and have had great customer response. That may be another speaker to look at as well as the DA products MBrown spoke of
DH,
I used the MB Quart NKD116 (6.5")in my boat and I've been very happy with them up to this point. If you want to stay with the 6.5's I suggest that route. If you want to go 6x9 then I suggest what the other boyz said.
Ok now I have to go find another shop that carries these other models and have a listen... You guys are killing me!
Thanks for all the good suggestions, I'll keep looking. Probably won't pull the trigger until winter because it going to be a big job to rip the interior apart and rework the panels.

Since you are waiting until winter, if you catch me at Pleasant, you can listen to mine any time you like and get an idea what the 6.5's will do on the water.

Thanks, but if I do that I'll start wanting to buy a new boat, and then I won't be able to afford new speakers!
Thanks to ROZ and riverbound, I went with the MB Quart 6x9 reference speakers and they sound amazing!!!!!!! :crossx: It put the four rockford fosgate 3-way 6x9's to shame.
