MB Quart

Has anyone installed any MB Quart audio and, if so, how much did you spend to get it? Does anyone have any installers they would recommend in the Atlanta area?

I just received my MB Quart stuff in the mail too cold to install but I purchased a set of 4" components and a 6.5" add a woofer. I think I will just swap out the OEM for these and see how it sounds. I have MB's in my Envoy and love them!

Do you have the Hi-Fi system? If so, please let me know how these speakers work for you as I have been looking at this combo as well.

Looks nice, how does it sound? I'm concerned that the amp and the sub is exposed to whatever you put in your boot. Got anything that covers them?

Old MBQuart > new MBQuart. I have PSD-216's in my car. I have new 100mm (4"), 130mm (5.25"), and 200mm (8") drivers in my cabinet to be sure I can cover any care I might own.

I actually use the old bottom cover of the boot well. It is covered in felt and does not scratch the amp. I place the cover over the amp and speakers when loading and unloading and wedge it between the well and the back seat to act as a divider. I leave the back seat down all the time.
I think I can shape a couple of layers of that hard foam matting you can get at Costco and make a custom solution.

Sound is great and I really like the remote Sub adjustment on the amp
