These will easily clear 50 WRMS a side. They will probably take 100 WRMS without issue also.

Once I get mine here I can run them and post some T/S Specs.

I would ditch the rear speakers. Add an amp for the fronts and add a sub w/sub amp. Or if you do it right- get a 4 channel amp. Front section for the front speakers, rear section for a sub.

I can get you a BNIB w/Warranty American bass SQ475. That would give the coaxs 75 WRMS and a single 4 Ohm sub 200 WRMS. For the sub you could go with a single American Bass DX 12... That would rock... And all on a small budget also!

Used amps I would buy:

(highly recommend!)Adcom GFA 4402
Rockford Punch 150
(golden age car audio)Linear Power 952
Eclipse 3620
Precision Power 2075M
(classic PPI)Precision Power Art 2075
Alpine MRP-T130
(sick!)Autotek 7100 BTS
Phoenix Gold XS2300
Phoenix Gold M25
(probably will last forever)MTX RT2120
MTX Thunder 280
(can't go wrong with Nak)Nakamichi PA-300

And my personal favorite:

Zapco Studio 50

If you want to step things up, I use old a/d/s power plates like these in my system. a/d/s invented the high-end car audio amp. Plus, they had a great look, imo:

a/d/s P4100

a/d/s P440.2

What's WRMS?

AA, I will need you to do that again when I'm ready to buy That was awesome.

WRMS = Watts Root Mean Square, or nominal power output. It's the power an amplifier can produce constantly, at rated distortion specs, safely without failure. A good amplifier can double it's RMS Wattage output for short periods. This is called peak power.

Man wheres the SoundStream love at?

Any of the Old Reference series (no s or sx ones) are good.

I did wind up with two 160's's for my tweeters though... The S is usable, the SX were poop. The originals is where its at...

SS Love! 1 SS Ref 300 was missing in that pic too... I need another Ref 500... lol

I got my 5.25's in today.

They are rated for 50 WRMS people. Im kind of shocked by such the low rms...

But it is what it is.

I didnt pay for insurance on the package... It was a bit beat up when it got here. 1 mid suffered a bent end, thats all thankfully. The sellers packing wasnt the best but Ive seen worse... Mines fixable with some pliers

Heres some pics:

Thanks for the pics! Those SS amps are beauties!

50 wrms is no good?

It's fine. Remember, a 50wrms amplifier can make double that for short periods (music demands it). The Quarts can take 50 watts all day, and more power for a brief time if needed.

Stick with something close to 50 watts (RMS) x 2 amplifier power. A little more or less is ok. You won't need any more power than that, imo. 50 watts/channel from an amp is a LOT more than the same rating from a head unit (don't trust the bogus head unit claims you see).

For those of you that know auto stereo, I have a question.
I have a set of Polk DB5250, 5 1/4" component system that i bought a couple of years ago and have yet to install.
My question is: would these MB Quarts be a better speaker for the front than the Polks.? Should i buy a set of the MB's and install the Polks in my girlfriends car.?
Thanks in advance for any input you might have.

The Polk db line used to be their better speakers I believe, but it's now a middle tier model. I think it's comparable to the MB Quarts. I do think the Quarts would be easier to install. Maybe buy a set and see which sounds better. I've done that before - it's surprising how different a pair of speakers sound - and most don't have the luxury of trying out multiple sets.

The magnet looks fairly large. Let me know if you have any issue installing them in the stock location. I'm very tempted to buy a pair for the riviera and Turbo Regal. These are mid-1990s speakers correct ?

You guys do realize that the MB Quart speakers you are buying from this seller are "Refurbished" right?
