What do you think of MB Quart products in general? I found a good deal on a MB Quart Reference amp RAA4200.

what do u think of this in term of SQ?









» 4-channel car amplifier
» 100 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms (200 watts x 4 at 2 ohms)
» 400 watts RMS x 2 in bridged mode (4-ohm minimum impedance)
» CEA-2006 compliant
» front and rear high- and low-pass filters (variable 50-500 Hz at 12 dB per octave)
» multiplier x10 switch converts filters to variable from 500 to 5,000 Hz
» LED clipping indicators
» preamp-level inputs and outputs
» front end defeat bypasses gain and crossover controls
» fuse rating: 30A x 3
» requires 4-gauge power and ground leads — wiring and hardware not included with amplifier
» 11-1/2"W x 2-3/8"H x 16-3/4"D
» warranty: 1 year

is 230 shipped a good price for a brand new unit?

Can you recommend me a set of 6.5 and 6x9 that would go well with this amp

I am not too familiar with MBQ amps, but $239 for a 4 channel amp that can do 100x4 @ 4 Ohm is GOOD. Ummm, where can you get it for that price? Gray market?

so Will, you're saying it's a good amp for a good price? I'd need to know before making a purchase. Thanks

I had a set of focal subs, don't know where I put it. They were like 400/each or something, the uptopia series or something, I forgot, it's been like a year or so . I need to look for it or buy a new pair :sad:
