Default MB Quart RCE213 Speakers

I haven't had a chance to shop for front door speakers, but have found a thread where the RCE213 component group was used. What is the concensus on these speakers? They seem to be priced pretty low as they seem to be on close-out on EBay. I was pretty turned off by the sales guy at the last place I stopped into to look at speakers. The guy always start off by asking you what kind of car they are going in and then proceed to take you into the sound room with the upper end equipment.

Why don't you match your rears with some PA components? Although, you know that I'm biased!

6.5" PAs are pretty cheap on eBay as well.

I did the PA's in back, but was looking for a close to perfect fit for the factory tweeter pod. EBay has some very low prices for the MB Quart 5.25" component set.

The only thing I had to cut was the hole for the PA tweeters. The 6.5" woofer was a perfect fit (although I couldn't use the stock grills). If you don't want to drill a hole for the tweeters, you can shave the PA tweeters to fit in the surface mount OEM tweeters covers.

BTW, you can get the 6.5" PAs for about $120 shipped.

I've heard the MBQs, too. Nothing wrong with those! PAs give you more low end since the woofer I'd bigger, though.

I personally find Quartz "harsh" and prefer a more laid back tweeter, just IMHO. Good build quality though...
