I have this dilemma because I have 2 new sets of MB Quartz sitting around which I have not installed yet because I can't find an answer...

yes, i have DSP. the MB crossovers are not being used.

as for ohm ratings, i did not pay any mid to that. it is a
very valid point though. perhaps that is a better question
for Micah to answer.

as of right now, the speakers sound incredible. i still haven't
put the rear tweeters in yet though. i have to cut one more
ring and then i should be done.

did u order the BSW Kit?

my circle cutting skills aren't the greatest, but
everything fit. by using this ring design, i did
not need to use glue for this portion of the install.
the tweeters are secure and ther is no movement.

broknlgs24: Thanks for the detailed review, hints, etc.!

King: You bring up a valid concern. The best response I can give you is we've tested time and again, and we've performed I don't know how many of these Stage 1 upgrades using the factory amplifier without issue; we've NEVER seen an amplifier fail or overload as a result of this upgrade.

Micah - i have a question. i couldn't find in the directions
any info. on removing or wiring the replacement dash speakers.
i've removed them, but there are 3 wires going to each speaker.
those 3 wires feed into, what i think, is some sort of resistor.
from the resistor comes 2 wires that attach to the speaker.
my question is, do i splice into the OEM wiring b4 or after the
resistor? if b4, what wires do i use and what is positive and
what is negative?:dunno:

Micah D. Cranman 04-03-2006 12:51 PM

You'll splice into the OEM wiring AFTER the resistor. The wire with the stripe will be positive. Let me know if you have any more Q's!

broknlgs24 04-03-2006 05:08 PM

micah, the directions supplied for installing
the tweeters says that the wire w/ the stripe
is negative. i'm a little lost. so, the for wiring
the tweeters, the wire that has the stripe is
negative, but for wiring the dash speakers, the
wire w/ the stripe is positive?:confused:

Brian: did you get a chance to speak w/ Jason and get this sorted?

broknlgs24 04-24-2006 06:03 PM

such an excellent product!

Micah D. Cranman 04-26-2006 10:57 AM
