NE one had a chance to play with the new quart subs? I figure they should be pretty good considering RF owns them now.

What is with the surround to appears to go in?
Really nice looking sub.

You mean they're worse now that RF owns them?

^ WTF are you talking about?

Can always count on CCA for great insight.

Quart as far as I know did not build there own subs befor RF owned them and never seemed to push them, as soon as RF got there hans on quart a new line of subs was produced I assume RF is making them for them and considering RF's history they should be a solid sub.
I would say the fact that you see a 15" model this time around and they have higher power ratings is deffinetly RF's influence.

Still want to know what the deal is with the surround

The surround idea is nothing new, Panasonic has used that technology for years now. It is designed a little different to allow a little more flex in the surround and control of the cone from what I have heard, maybe provides a little more clearance for grills as well. Dukk will like these subs, they slam in a ported enclosure (especially when you use an Eclipse cd player...haha)

^Once a salesman, always a salesman. :rolleyes:

i heard a lot of horror stories about more recent rf stuff having tons of problems... ie cone separation etc...

Have not had one failure yet on a MB Quart sub, the stuff works real good, the build quality is also good to great.

The MB Quart PWD-254 is one of the best sounding woofers I have reviewed. Tight, fast and went VERY low. The review of the new Reference Series in CA&E was less than thrilling.. Too bad.

As for most stories of product failure... Funny how it's the most popular products that are most commonly abused by their owners..
