MB Quart Ref sub still a good sub?

So I always remember these as being a solid sub back in the day but I'm not sure if they still are. Thought I'd ask here real quick like to see if they are still good subs or not.

Yeah, I had a pair and they were awesome. They were low-end beasts.

I was looking at RE SE, MB Ref series or AA Aresenal. Between the 3 any thoughts?

RE SE sounds amazing. I also owned the mb quart reference 12's. i prefer the RE, but for the cash, you cant go wrong with the mb quart

That's my thought as I'm trying to keep this cheap but sound good and minimal room. I'm using the side wheel well of my mazda 6 hatch. I figure 500w on either sub ported nicely to 32-35hz will sound clean and loud. Single 6.5" comps up front no rear fill, comps will be off about 120w per side. Nice open cabin, small 4 door car should be quite loud when she's done. I'm going to order the MB Quart, if I like it awesome, if not I'll sell it to a friend lol.

The Ref RWE subs are the older German made MB subs, very nice sounding subs.

Well I've got one on order now so hopefully the 12" and my Hertz Energy comps will be here before the weekend so I can build the box and start my install. Hoping to have it all in before 2/1.

Can those 15'' MB subs go loud? I have a MB Quart RAA2400 amplifier,800+ wrms @4ohms,i hear that the sub has great sound,but is it loud enough?

i'm not impressed with the mb ref 15. at all.

Other opinions?

When i look the stats i see 700 rms and freq 16-300 which is pretty impresive when u have in mind that its a 15'' sub.. But i know that numbers dont mean jack,so i come here for advices! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I had 2 RWE 15's in 1.5 sealed each with a zx1000.1 and it was loud. They dropped etremely low and sounded very good doing it. Could be the install,not sure but I regret selling mine.
