>First off Dean they do NOT win at Iasca anymore, that was several years ago. WHen was the last time you have been to the Iasca finals? Well i have been there for the last couple years and very few people are using quarts anymore. They have become popular a while back since they were one of the first "high end" automotive seperates. If you have been attending any of the IASCA finals or even the key events you would see that in the last few years there has been a major swing away from hard dome tweeters for cars competing in SQ or even SQ+. If the quarts are truly the best automotive speaker you have ever heard i truly feel sorry for you, because you are missing out on the many other brands out there. I hope you dont take this as condesending, but i am trying to inform you of the changes that have occured. Have you ever been in the JL audio Austin Mini, Earl Zausmers BMW, or the Dynaudio BMW? well i have and those are some of the best cars that i have ever heard and they !

have been proven to be some of the top sounding cars anywhere. My friends and I can spot a car using quarts from a several feet away, they all share the very tinny characteristic. THe judges have also start judging more critically on the fact if the music sounds the way it was recorded and not harsher like the quarts will tend to be. I know you think i am ragging on quarts because i dont have them, but i have used them in my old car to do a comparison test between quarts, jl audio, nakamichi and polk db's, (all being 5.24" seperates with their respective passive x-overs). I would sit in and close my eyes and try to truly analyze each set of speakers. I even had my friend throw them in at random and had my eyes closed a second time and could pic out the mb quarts right away, only because they were not as realistic sounding (but they do reproduce techno type music well). I have used most every kind of speaker in my car at one time or another and have made some observations!
!
!
over the time and I still feel that a hard dome tweeter is not g
oing to reproduce music as accurately. Sure some of this is opinion and my own personal beliefs, but i have tried to make unbiased decisions about many of the products i have used in my car. This is just my $.02 but i can show you the rta of a car using a hard dome and you can see the hump around 18khz ;)
