Technology has come a long way! For many years the construction for speakers was very simple; usually steel, foam, and paper. This worked fine but as the technology world advanced, car speakers needed to be updated. In order to improve the overall system performance, the MB Quart Reference Series speakers were introduced.

Offering component or coaxial speaker system with a 30mm tweeter, these systems provide deep and powerful sound. Each speaker features a low resonance cast ABS composite basket which allows the magnetism to be focused at the speaker providing louder sound with less power.

The new MB Quart Reference MYKRO amplifiers are
available in a 4-channel, 5-channel, and a monoblock configuration. All of them use Class D technology, and the four and five channel are both full-range Class D amps.

2011 is a big year for Maxxsonics with all of the different lines that they carry. The MB Quart line is one in particular that received a lot of attention. The introduction of a new silk dome tweeter, the continuation of the Q series, and the new shallow marine subwoofer are just a few of the newest enhancements to the product line. However, there is another addition to the MB Quart family that is quite exciting. With New ONYX subwoofers are now available, a complete ONYX series can be installed in your vehicle.

MB Quart introduced 4 different ONYX subwoofers to finalize the product line. There are two round 12” woofers (one dual 2 and the other dual 4), a 12” square, and a 10” dual 4 ohm. With these 4 different options of subs, any system can easily be complemented with some quality bass. Each subwoofer shares some unique features that really separate them from the rest of the subwoofers out there. To start, each features an illuminated MB Quart logo on the cone. It is completely optional and has a separate power terminal near the speaker terminals. Once connected the logo on the dust cap lights up. It is a great look while showing off the subwoofers at night. The MB Quart ONX304SQ is the square subwoofer that is sure to make a huge impression in the industry this year.

Each of the subs has a high gloss piano black finish that perfectly matches the speakers in the same series. MB Quart also offers a line of amplifiers that have a piano black finish. After installing the ONYX speakers, subwoofers, and amplifiers in your vehicle, you complete ONYX set up will sound incredible. Do you already have some of the ONYX products?
