I heard the MB Quart Reference RCE-216's ... but w/o an amp powering it, just a head unit... sounded decent... 1) how much better do components sound when there is more wattage powering them and 2) which one of these are better? I mean I've looked at the specs and they seem to be similar... However In stores, the MB Quart References are 330, while online I can buy the Infinity Perfects 6.1's for the same price... any advice? Also, I was thinking about leaving the stock rear speakers in the car and having them powered by the head unit, would this be a good idea, and how much better would the sound be if I were to replace the rear speakers... |

Try to listen to Perfects if you can, I find they're more accurate. An amp makes a big difference, you get better SQ because the amp doesn't strain as much to produce the same power, also you get less distortion, a better power supply (more headroom for transients) and the speakers will have better dynamics b/c of more power, meaning better bass and treble. |
