MB Quart
Well I spent a small penny on my MBs and for someone reason they aren't quite as nice as what I expected. I know first guess is gonna be the amp the are on which is a PPI 4400.2 which I would think should be enuff power ? Anyone else have MB? What are you powering them with?

I had MB's installed last week, Reference Premium series coaxials 6.5 front and 5.25 rear. Using Rockford 600a4 for power, 75x4. Thought I would try them with stock head unit but discovered that I need to upgrade for better sound. Will be switching to the P920R like yourself (6.5 volt preouts) and the 6 disk in dash changer. The amp seems to make plenty of power to drive these speakers.

what is it you don't like about your MB Quarts? And which speakers did you get?
I had had MBQ's in my Integra and they sounded great. But the 216's I have in my new TL sound WAY too trebly.
My installer mounted the tweeters separately (instead of in-line like they were in my 'tegra), up by the side-view mirrors (but inside the cabin, of course). Maybe that is contributing to the over-treble?
Any ideas if pointing the tweeters back/forwards more would help? They're basically mounted pointing 90 degrees out from the door and I'm thinking maybe I should point them towards me (that the windshield glass is reflecting the sound).

I have coaxial reference's. As far as too trebly you might want to adjust your gains. I don't think they sound as clear and crisp as I think they should.
