Default Here's the Deal...

MB Quart makes an amazing speaker. In addition to my S4, I also own a 98 4Runner which I used to compete in audio competitons. In the Runner, I have MB Quart components in the front and let me tell you that I haven't blown one even pushing it to the 150 decibel barrier. It takes a licking and keeps on ticking. They hit the highs with unprecedented accuracy and they reproduce the mids with life-like realism. I am so happy with them and you will be too. Right now the only other speakers I would look at would be Canton or the new JL Audio XR models. And, as QuattroRocket stated you really should get a 4 channel amp to run the speakers, it will make a world of difference.

Default Add amps...

The MBQuart are relatively ineffecient and need more power than the front amp can provide for moderate to high volume, and the rear amp is integrated into the left rear speaker (also not powerful enough) making it both hard to reuse and not worth the effort.

I would go with 2 2 channel amps. You can then re-use the existing wiring if you want.

There is no way in hell that your MBQ's make 150dB. It was funny though!
