Why'd you go with MB quart speakers? They are NOT made by mercedes in any way, shape, or form... They're made to handel 75 watts of music power, spiking up to 150 watts... You "might" be giving them 20 watts RMS, or less depending on how old your headunt is.

Making bass takes ALOT of power, and I think if you'd hook up a cheaper 75x2 RMS amp ($50 tops), you'd get alot better sounding speakers.

I still dont get why people spend so much on speakers, only to underpower them, and give them a bad rap...

Nothing personal Jeremy, just the way I see it
