MB Quart used to be top of the line. They were however acquired by Maxxsonics and are not close to the same quality anymore. Maxxsonics makes a few other brands too which are all low end junk.

The Alpine PDX-F6 amp is a great Boat amp. Match that up with the Polk MM Marine 6.5' speakers would give you a really good 600W RMS system.
Newegg has the amp for $432.00 shipped
The Polk MM's are about $100.00 per pair shipped
$$$ for $$$ this system in a boat, is hard to beat

If you had owned some of the German Made Q series you would understand. They may have sounded good to you, but to those who ran then when they were some of the best, can and know the difference.

entire package (less head unit which i assume u already have)around $650 to $700
how much was the bt4180?
I would go with at least a 4 channel amp. When you run 2 - 4 ohm speakers in parallel, the load on the amp becomes 2 ohms. Some amps are not designed to be run at or below below 2 ohms for an extended period or at all. If you ran 4 - 4 ohm drivers in parallel that would be a 1 ohm load and the amp can get hot and shut down in protected mode, produce distorted sound (Clipping) or burn up...literally. I have seen flames come from an amp before, so I am not just talking melted internals, I mean actual fire hazard.

Look at Wet Sounds before a 4180 any day.
