I was reffered to MB Quart RCE 216's by a different member here and I am now having second thoughts. I think I'll need to save a little money and the 216 model is a bit much. So I began to look a little further down the list and came along these to.

Now in your opinion which pair of 6.5's are the better choice. I am looking for quality but I also want a door speaker to provide decent mid-bass. I will probably have around 90watts rms going to each speaker.

Also another newbie question: I am going to buy these speakers before I buy the amp. Would it be alright to run these speakers directly off my old aftermarket head unit or should I wait and install both the amp and speakers at the same time?

my personal experience tells me that MB Quarts are very good peakers. i used to have a pair of 6 1/2" coaxials in my front doors, and they sounded very good. jl is newer to the 6 1/2" market, so i would suggest that you get the MB's

Thanks for the input, I was worried my topic would sink to the bottom with no replies.

Anyone else have a opinion on the two?
