Front Speakers:McIntosh MSS470 separates (a 5 1/4 in woofer and 1 in tweeter, gold plated terminals, and 2 way passive crossovers)
Back Speakers:MB quart RKC110 Reference Line
4 in speakers
Subwoofer: 1 JL Audio 10in
Also I wanted 4 in McIntoshes for the back speakers. But I was assured by the installer that the MB Quarts would work well there.
I really hadn't heard them before and had intended to get MB Quarts for the front speakers. But the McIntoshes provided greater clarity in the high treble and midrange. Of course, most listeners agree that the MQ Quarts give you very little bass response at all.
I was able to turn up the volume to higher levels than I would ever listen and have no audible distortion at all!
Hope this helps someone out there.

Finally, someone who has installed MB Quart speakers! I was going to ask why not the front but read in your post that your preferred the McIntosh.
Now for some questions:
1. I assume you have the EX, I suppose it didn't bother you to lose the steering wheel controls?
2. Why didn't you install the 6-1/2" in the front doors as many others have, were the McIntosh's too deep?
3. Cost difference between the McIntosh and MB Quart?
4. Where did you install the sub?, I've been waiting for JL Audio to bring out their new 6" sub since last year and I'm getting tired of waiting.
