Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)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."
