I have no experience with either one. Time for me to get crackin.

 

Here's a review of the MQ Quart
http://www.mbquart.com/2003/en_US/re...e302.pdf?ID=74

 

No personnal experience with MB Quart. But I have used Polk subs before. They are decent, nothing to go raving about. Just a normal old sub that can hit.

 

Thanks for the review I'll have to read that when I get home. I am looking at these two sub because they are currently on sale for 139, and I am not looking for perfect though it would be nice. Anyone else have an opinion?

One more thing I have two JL 10W4 would one of subs above outperform two JL 10s?

 

No. The 10's would have the most potential to move air.

 

Thanks I guess, I'll stay with my 10s

 

I had the PWD 10" version of the MBQuarts, that got a similar review. The subs are very nice in that they can fit in tiny enclosures, but they are much more SQ than SPL [certainly in a small sealed enclosure]. I had two 10's in the trunk, and they just weren't loud enough for me. If you do consider getting a 12 insted of the 2 10's [I also agree that the 2 JL's would be louder], look into the new Alpine Type R's, they're a very good speaker [especially for the price].

If you're going to take the time to look at JL... take some time to look at Memphis. M-Class subs have great SQ, even in vented boxes, and put out SPL as well. They're a good all around sub.

 

The two JL's I already own and removed from my 98 Max and was thinking about putting it in my 05 Max. I was going to go with one 12 for space saving and the two 12's that I listed uptop was only 139 ea, I thought why not. I am not into thump but nice clear music very LOUD. I know my JL are pretty good and clear so I may just stick with them, besides I need gas money! Premium is at $3.30 this morning
