New mbquart speaker system

I decided to get new speakers so I bought the following:

Rear deck--MBQuart DKE116 6 1/2" 2 Way Speakers
Front doors--MB Quart DSE216 6 1/2" Component Speaker Set
rear doors-- MBQuart DKE113 5 1/4" 2 Way Speakers
These 3 sets of speakers cost less than $200.00 total plus shipping at a deep discounter. Oh , they are real speakers in original boxes and not hot or fake with a warranty!!

The rest of my setup includes:
--JL 12" sub and enclosure in trunk
--Panosonic DFX983 50 watts X 4 head unit
-- sirius radio ready which I do have.
--Apco 1 force 250 power amp
--JL E 6450 amp 45W RMS x 6
--almost entire car soundproofed with 4 diff dynamat products

I really do think the speakers and the entire system sound great. I wouldn't spend anymore $$ because my car is highly modified and makes too much noise!

Hey Don any suggestions on a pair of 6.5's that will give me a load of mid bass from the rear doors( I'll have to have you check to make sure, but I'm sorta thinking the rear doors won't hold 8's)? Or some 8's for the rear deck?

Thanks for the kudos guys, I appreciate it especially after getting slammed on the 4th gen for putting shredded decals on hood, right side, and left side.
Hee hee!

Pearlmax,
I know you're in the trade and I respect that BUT, I may wish to purchase there again and why mention their name??

Spreading the word on good deals would be the right thing to do....

So purchase there again, what difference does that make to just supply the name?

$200 for 3 sets of entry level MB Quarts sounds shady. Someone must have got you them at cost or HOT!!! The dealer cost on most separate sets from a decent company is around $75+. MB Quart ain't exactly what they were many years ago; but I still find it hard to believe their price point has dropped that much.

$200 shipped for all of those is well below dealer cost. I really hope they aren't fake.

The speakers are not knockoffs, stolen, whatever. I took them to a factory authorized store where my friend works and they are identical in size, materials, packaging, and sound!!

By the way, thanks for the kudos!! Especially after the criticism I took on the 4th gen forumn about my new look. I feel real bad, hee hee.
