Default Natasha gets an upgrade

After replacing the Monsoon amp with an aftermarket 60W x 4, I was worried how my Rockford Fosgates would hold up. The answer in short, was not nearly long enough! I blew one of the 6.5 within a couple days and one of the 5.25 about a week later.

So, it came time to upgrade. This is what I went with:

Door speakers are now MB Quart Discuss 5.25 Components rated to 90W
Rear speakers are now BM Quart Reference 6.75 Components rated to 110W

I also decided to get a Dual 10" Bandpass Woofer enclosure and through in another Rockford Fosgate Stage 2 10".

I have not gotten the front tweeters mounted yet but so far the sound is so much better than I imagined it would be. The bass with the new enclosure and extra woofer is incredible! The MB Quarts are some of the finest speakers I have own. There is some distortion when I really crank things up but I believe this is just too much bass going to the 5.25 in front and will easily be fixed once I start fiddling with the amp settings.
