MB Quart Coaxial Speakers with Bluetooth Source Unit (Black) – 6.5 Inch, 160 Watt Each, Marine Grade Waterproof, LCD Display, Set of 2 Speakers for Marine, RV

This isn't the MB Quart of old. The brand is now owned by a conglomerate and it's value line Chinese stuff. It's fine for the money but don't expect anything audiophile like the brand was previously associated with.I like both the speakers and head unit. The head unit is simple and has what we all really need in a head unit, Bluetooth and USB inputs. I also really like that it's IPX5 rated, so it can handle the splashes that are likely to be encountered on a boat. The old unit I was replacing from the previous owner was a car receiver and it was pretty corroded and nasty, so I really appreciate it being a true marine rated unit.The speakers are fine too, not audiophile but plenty good for relaxing out on the water. This is coming from someone who spends a fair amount on audio equipment overall. They're good enough that I feel like if I were to spend 10x the cost of them to upgrade them, while the upgrade would sound better, it wouldn't be worth all the extra money.Installation was really simple, no different than any other speakers or head units I've installed in the past. One benefit of the head unit being fairly simple is that there's less wires to hook up.The one issue I have with this stuff is the misleading power figures they plaster all over the place. 160 watts is plastered all over it. In actuality, the speakers are rated at 40 watts RMS each and the head unit output is 16 watts RMS per channel. Note that the head unit output isn't tested to CTA-2006 standard, so it's likely lower that the 16 watts claimed.Realizing this, I didn't even bother with the head unit speaker outputs and instead opted for an external amplifier. I can say that the speakers are able to handle 70 watts RMS from my amp no problem. It's a high quality amp and likely a bit underrated and putting out even more power than that. No issues with the speakers at all even after some pretty long days out on the lake.Overall, really good value but have realistic expectations.

My install is a bit out of the norm, but I installed this system in a golf cart. Bout a custom roof enclosure, which I then adapted to my Yamaha G29 Drive golf cart.The installation was pretty straight forward. Instructions were good enough to understand. The included mounting parts, aside from the mounting screws for the radio, which the heads were too big, worked fine. There were foam gaskets for the speakers and the radio. Made it fit snug and well. Ended up having some screws that worked fine for the radio since given how I installed it, they needed nuts on the back.Aesthetically the speakers look nice and seem to be resistant to water. The radio is pretty basic control wise, but gets the job done fine. I do wish it would disconnect the Bluetooth when you push the power button off, but it does not. The radio portion works fine but does need an antenna to tune in channels, as would be expected.Sound was surprisingly clear and clean quality, ok bass for speaker size. I plan on adding a sub sometime soon to fill in the gaps.Another suggestion is to buy a USB/aux port surface mount extension to put in your dash. Will make plugging in a USB stick or your non Bluetooth device easier .All in all a good purchase for my needs

I've used MBQuart in car stereos before, and their quality was always fantastic... but that was on the higher end of their line. These speakers in this setup are NOT comparable to the ones that I've had before- but also cost FAR less. What lured me into this kit is my need for a setup in a car I'm restoring. It only needs to be simple and sound decent- not looking for audiophile setup. The head unit is super simple and no extra blingy flashy things that are truly annoying in most aftermarket head units. I don't want multicolored flashing lights from a StarWars movie set in the dashboard of my vintage roadster. The head unit is also about half the depth of most- so it can fit easily and not be a challenge to a crowded console or dashboard.The power seems adequate to me, although I may consider adding a powered sub for when the top is down. The speakers are warm and clear, with the crispness that MBQuart is known for. Don't look at the brand name and think you're getting the MBQ sound from their $300+ speakers... these are on par with most other name brand speakers in the sub $150 range, like the Polk dB series.In all, I can't imagine you'd EVER find a kit in this price range that will outperform this... and if you want a head unit that doesn't look silly with tons of dancing light garbage- this one is for you. Simple, elegant and blends in.

This review is for a set of 2 Bluetooth Marine Grade Waterproof Speakers, they are 6.5 inches and 160 Watt’s each. We got these for our camper and boat which ever one is out gets music unfortunately both are in storage, so I’ll have to wait to play. They’re Bluetooth enabled can be paired with any Bluetooth enabled devices and they will connect to the last device connected and connects through Bluetooth, USB input or auxiliary RCA input.Since they will be in our camper and/or boat the fact that they’re designed and tested against marine and powersport elements to make sure they’re waterproof, dustproof, sunproof and shockproof is important. It’s also has built in 4 channels of output plus a subwoofer output. Speakers are complete with wiring and mounting hardware. These are great speakers that if you make a platform for it, you’ll be able to take them anywhere. These were on the pricey side but I’m expecting them to be high end over the less expensive ones. I hope this helps with your decision have a great day!

This one really surprised me. I have sampled a couple other marine / “rugged” systems, most priced within $20-$40 of this one. This system is so much better you’d think it cost twice as much. Extremely impressive for the money.I have Focal K2s in my truck in an active 3 way setup, so I know what I’m listening for. OF COURSE, this setup is nowhere near that level. But it’s inoffensive. It doesn’t hurt my ears. Sound is very balanced. Speakers are inexpensively constructed with built-in grills, but they look just fine and have held up great in my overhead box.The MB Quart head unit is very easy to use. I also found it easy to mount, just screws in through the front. Bluetooth connection has been perfectly reliable and the FM reception is decent.In short, this is not the best stereo I own or the best I’ve ever heard. But considering the price, I am impressed with the sound, appearance and general quality I see here. Good deal!
