check 'em out. Was looking at their 10", 12" and 15" subs... up to like $350 off!

The 15" 2 ohm DVC sub was $107 each

That's not a bad deal at all, but I don't know what their reputation is with subs. I know the name was big in components...

Aren't they going out of business? I thought I read that... their website is still up and doesn't seem to mention it anywhere, so maybe I'm wrong
Ludicrous gibs!

    Ah hell. Lets see if I can remember this right.

    Rockford Fosgate bought out MB Quart but the Germans didnt like the way RF was going to manufacture their stuff (i.e. not in Germany). The Germans had spent years building a standard setting speaker and now RF is going to hash em out of some sweat shop in Tawain?

    So, the Germans were pulling out of MB Quart, leaving them with RF and starting their own company called Third Acoustic (or something like that) bulding basically the MB Quart speakers that made them famous.

    There may be a lot more to this as I cant remember the story. There is a link to it on the Carsound forum but its been down for 2 days! :mad:

    I hope they pull it off. Next to Polk of course :D Quart are my favortie speakers and their QSD is my pick for the best on the market.

    No problemo.

    All the speakers are gone anyway. All they have left is subs. :(
