MBQuart Marine Speakers
Does anyone have any of these grilles laying around?
I need to replace a cracked one. Its the NKD-116 6.5" Speaker.
Thanks in advance.
------------------------------------------------------------
I have 4 pair of these, and I am becoming more and more disappointed in them. I have blown a 3rd one, and now that they are discontinued, I am having a tough time getting it replaced (under warranty, AND the retailer I purchased from no longer distributes MBQuart).
I want to replace the cracked grill, but may look to swap all eight of them out eventually.

Re: MBQuart Marine Speakers
The bad news is that MB's are no longer imported They were distributed by Rockford Fosgate and there has been a lengthy disagreement between them and distribution stopped over a year ago. Great stuff but it may be awhile before you can get it domestically again.

Re: MBQuart Marine Speakers
Thanks Rob.
I spoke with Maxxsonics today about trying to get a replacement speaker for the latest one I have blown. When I referred to blowing them, I meant I blew the speaker. I have had 3 structural wire/coil failures, on three different speakers.
The cracked grill is on another speaker. I spoke with Rex Marine today, about billet covers--thanks for the link MarylandMark. I had them measure to make sure the rather tall profile tweeter inside the NKD-116 will fit under their covers, and we confirmed that they will do so.
My GF just told me she ordered them for my birthday. How cool is that?

I have heard good and bad about these speakers. However, your problems seem excessive. How much power are you running through them?
I purchased 4 of these on ebay yesterday for $300 total. I'm going to use them deck side only using a Rockford Fosgate P450.4 4 Channel amp. The spec says 225 Watts RMS x2 @ 4 ohms (bridged). If you divide this by 2 (for 4 speakers) I'll be feeding them slightly more than 100 watts each. This is within the speaker's peak power handling range and I am hoping there won't be a problem...

Re: MBQuart Marine Speakers
Just bought 2 pair of the new component 7" J-L's
Haven't installed yet but they look to be night and day over the NKD's. The NKD's were the best out there for marine until these J-L's
