MB Quart MBQ-DS2-216 | 6.5 Inch Component Car Speaker System | Discus

Quick answer

The MB Quart DS2-216 is a 6.5 inch two way component speaker set from the Discus range, rated at 70W RMS per side.

Woofers and tweeters mount apart, so the highs can sit up on the dash or pillar where they are easier to hear.

Problems it solves

• Factory speakers that sound flat at volume. Polypropylene cones and butyl surrounds tighten the midbass.
• Treble aimed at your knees. Separate tweeters can be mounted higher.
• Harsh crossover points. An external 12 dB per octave crossover blends woofer and tweeter.
