What are some good component speakers other than MB Quarts?
Thanks, mike.

speakers are all personal preferenace. i had a pair of kappa components in my car, and they sounded too sharp for me, so i sold them and bought the lower end, reference series components, and they sound great.

how do you like your music? the speakers will be for you, make sure you get what you want, not what other people want.

I have the MB Quart 3 way reference component in my car right now. The speakers are great unfortunately I was playing it too loud so my tweeters popped. Mb Quart tweeters cost about 50-100 to replace (i think). I dont know if i should just replace the tweeters or just go with a complete new set of component speakers.

do you happen to know where i could buy mb quart tweeters for cheap?

call up mb quart i think you have to get them from them, also if there two pricy for you look into seprate tweaters from other companys like focal

I didnt like quarts either, even when attenuated to -4 and off axis.

Too many companies to list them all, but here are some.

CDT = best bang for the buck
ADS
Focal = i like the polykevs
Dynaudio = too damn expensive
Rainbow = even more expensive (I havent heard these)

ADS are phenomenal, but if you don't wanna spend a ton of money go for Boston Acoustics - the Pro Series are little expensive and sound awesome. I have the Rally Series, they sound great and were less money. You can get a nice set if you look around for like 225 for the front of the car (5 1/4's in the kickpanels plus the tweeters up on the door panels). Then get FX-4 coaxials for the rear (if you have a coupe/convertible like me).
