I too heard the Focals and was blown away by them. And my last 3 sets of speakers have all been Quart.

I have the Focal 165 K2P & 165KF in the beast. I am really happy with them and they sound super clean even at very high volume. They handle all the abuse I can dish, and that's A LOT. I strongly recommend them if you wanna spend the $$. They are worth every penny as far as I'm concerned. I had the MBQuart Q Series in another car and they are damn good, but I think the Focals are better.

i have a pair of qsd210 4" speakers already. i know they don't fit so im trying to sell them or exchange them at an al & eds store.but so far im having a hard time doing either. they are brand new in box never used but not alot of cars accept 4" speakers unless your doing a 3 way system.

Go with Focals Mb Quarts are really good speakers ( q series ) but the focals are that much better

I've had MB Quarts but decided I needed a change...so I went with Rainbow's Soundline. http://car.rainbow-audio.de/products...hp?lan=2&pro=1

You should consider them as well. Don't have personal experience with Focals, but heard nothing but great reviews. Didn't MB Quart get bought off by Rockford Fosgate?

Hey, those are the speakers that you were looking to sell some time back. So, I guess you didn't sell them. Shows that the markup on Speakers is large.

You are going to have to take a loss on those in order to get anything.
