I want to know whats the best system setup:

OPTION 1:
MB Quart PCE 216 components in front
Infinity 6.5" side speakers
NO 6x9 in rear deck

OPTION 2:
MB Quart PCE 216 components in front
NO 6.5" in rear sides
Infinity 6x9 side speakers
JL 300/4 amp
JL 500/1 amp

or

OPTION 3:
MB Quart PCE 216 components in front
Infinity 6.5" in rear sides
Infinity 6x9 side speakers
JL 300/4 amp
JL 500/1 amp
JL 10w6v2

I want to know what you think is the best setup??? Which setup sounds the best?? NEED OPINIONS!!

 

How about any of your options but with NO rear speakers at all. Keeps the soundstage up front. If you must have rear speakers, install the 6.5 side speakers for a bit of rear fill, but keep the volume low. I think that will sound the best.

 

I really don't like MB Quartz they are over rated and suck. Infinity Kappas are good so I've heard. Iwould go with CDT or Elemental Design. Your amp and sub choice are good.

 

so most people recommend that I dont use 6x9's AT ALL and just install rear 6.5"?? ANY THOUGHTS???

 

I don't run any rears in my personal vehicles.
Replacing the 6.5's in the rear 1/4 panels will help bring the vocals volume up slightly while maintaining decent imaging for the front and rear passengers since they are lower in the car...I would just attenuate their volume/power and cut out more of their highs...

Replacing just the 6x9's will help you be heard outside of the vehicle if that's what you want.

The premium series from MB quarts are the only speakers from Mb quarts that I like. I am not a fan of any other series they have available, even the Q line

Just remember everything is dependant on how you tune the system...

I would do:

JL3004 on the PCE 216 biamped.
the XR line from JL is also a smooth sounding speaker setup!
Jl5001 on a JL12w6v2 or even a
JL2501, 3002 on a 12w3v3!

and an Avic Z-1 in for good measure =D
