this was actually only $250 a few weeks ago....that price only lasted about 5 days. I'vew heard that the Mb Quart amps have a turn on pop noise......if you can get over that....it's definitely a good deal.

MB quart speakers rock, my friend got a pair of dte169 in his car. That thing awesome, event better than the LS430s Mark Levinson system in my dads car(heh, best sound system of the year!). Not many people know about MB quart tho, most ppl are talking about Alpine, Pioneer or kenwood ect... try a pair of MB quart, u'll never want to think about other brands :P

I was actually thinking about replacing my infinity 4 channel for that Quart 4200. crutchfield has it for around 250 right now. Can't really find lots of reviews on those amps though, so I'll pass right now.

I finally read a couple reviews on the quart 4 channel, and lots of people said all it has going for it is power. Very noisy amp, not clean at all... Dunno, keep us updated though

I have a rockford Power 1000.1 2 channel for my subwoofers. Rockford has gone down in build quality and the type of amp they used to make. my amp is rated for 1000 watts and the birth sheet states 1685 watts. I love old rockford amps but i would not buy a new one and i am not into buying used car audio gear. I will let you guys know. I needed a new amp my MB components run on 60-130 watts and i was only putting 50ish in them from my other 4 channel. If the amp is anything like their speakers i am not going to be worried.

I was gonna jump on the bandwagon and buy that amp, but I decided to wait a couple more months and replace my amps with PG Xenon 100.4 for my mids, and 600.1 for my subs.
Please keep us updated and post a review as soon as you mount it in the car. Thanks

My birthday is June 13th. I am still waiting for another cap, my wiring kits, and some other crap. Once i get everything i will do the install on teh weekend and post pics of the whole install. I will have 2 sets of 6.5 MB Quart components, Fosgate 1000.1 amp for subs, 2 eclipse 12", the mb amp, the alpine 9815 head unit (as of now), 2 capacitors. I think thats it for the stereo as of now.

were you dropped on your head as a baby?? Show some manners. Fonto is trying to offer a good price find to everyone here and all you can say is F MB QUart?? You are an idiot. Rockford all the way? All the way retard? So let's put a pair of Q series up against some rockford speakers and it's "Rockford all the way?" You obviously don't know anything of what you are talking about, so I'd appreciate it if you keep you ignorant-*** comments to yourself and show some manners to the people who have been around here longer than yourself.

I agree but back in the day when rockford amps were good the punch were good actually great mps. the power dominated still. I love my MB Quart speakers and I have high hopes for the amp.

you sir, are a f*cking moron, and should be sterilized...
I'd take the quart amp over any rf amp on the market now, but that's my opinion, and not a valid point, so let me continue.
Guess who owns MB Quart?
could it by chance maybe be,
Rockford Fosgate?

Why indeed it is!!!


Now, had you said what you said about quart without disrespecting fonto, then I would have probably kept my mouth shut, but you had to go and make a jackass of yourself.

You havent found out why Mb Quart products prices just dropped. Its because as of a couple weeks ago, Rockford no longer owns Mb Quart as they are now German owned again. All production on Quart products in the US stopped and Rockford is now in the process of starting to make more sq products such as amps and compenents to help those involved in sound quality competitions. I have always used mb quart components but now that they are not owned by Rockford, that will probably put an end to that use.


Rockford and Mb Quart are no longer under the same management

I heard that also. However, it didn;t stop me from purchasing one of the last amps that mb produced under the rockford management. I also have MB components. i guess in the future i will look into other high end manufacturers.

I agree with SpecialEdcivic, buy them while you can since they were all made under the rockford era and then look for something else later.

You do realize that most of the Quart products sold before Rockford bought them got better reviews than they did when Rockford had them. I say the product is just going to get better now.
