Best Component Speakers? Audison? Hertz?
#33
Dramatic much? I heard MB quart in one of the german brand cars i was riding in back in the day. It was good but not at the level of the mentioned set ups i heard. This was maybe 10+ yrs ago. It could have been a lesser mb quart model, old tech, etc. Plenty of factors. Plus there are no known dealers around my area. Mb quart or some of the other brands mentioned above, ie hybrid audio. I would never buy speakers i can't hear in person.
Sorry for the misunderstanding and I'm glad you got a system you liked. Enjoy.

If you've decided on something else because you've heard MB Quarts and decided you would like something else, that's another thing entirely. Based on what was originally posted, it sounded like you were rejecting MBQ just because they had been used by a car manufacturer and therefore weren't sufficiently prestigious.

Also as far as one of your recommendations, I've seen reviews about Focal PS 165FX components. Apparently they are awesome and won a 2013-14 EISA award. The same award the audison voce av k6 components and audison av 5.1k amp won in years past. I'm not sure if this award means anything in the car audio world. I wish i could have listened to more brands and set ups. But luckily I am happy. This car audio game is like the equivalent of modding the your care in general, ie wheels, suspension, performance. You think you are happy and satisfied, but that itch for more always seems to pop out of nowhere. Could go lower, could get faster, could have nicer wheels,..so on and so forth

Memphis are good at amps and subs, not sure about their component speakers.

Competition subs yes.....everyday use I'd spend less....you'd be amazed what the right box can do for a properly powered sub....it's not all about how many watts your pushing.....I've put many multi thousand dollar systems to shame with 1000 or less well spent dollars

Under the sub and amp are custom wooden panels to replace the stock ones to fit perfectly snug. The processor is hidden. Only problem I encountered is my radio is somewhat static-ky for reasons unknown. Need to test out again. But I don't understand why that would be since the antenna is in the back windshield.

Install looks great! Have to admit that I'm not a fan of LEDs for the most part but really like what you did around the amp. That's the same amp I'm running in my '06 IS. How are you liking the Bit 10? I've considered using a Bit One as a processor but can't seem to pull the trigger. I'm running an aftermarket HU but not sure the time alignment with the Bit One would be better than what I have now with my Kenwood HU. VERY complicated to set up, to say the least. I'm pretty sure the Bit 10 is more of an OE integration divice where as the Bit One is a full on processor. Still need to do some homework on the processor issue but definitely don't want to drop a grand or so on a Bit One if it isn't going to make a significant improvement. Props for your install regardless and hope you are loving it!
