The amps are currently mounted under the back passenger seat due to space constraints, plus if they were under the front passenger seat people would be kicking them with their feet.

I must say that I love the MB quarts and think they sound perfect for my ear. I have always been a fan of MB quart until they sold out to a German company, and since have lost the love. These components are the signature series which means they literally put a bunch of midrange and tweeters in a room and paired them with each other if they sounded the same.

So far I probably have about $700 in amps and component set. That doesn't include the head unit, wiring, sub, and sub box.

Just because it is owned by a us company doesn't mean they are made in the USA. (Look at the shirt you are wearing; probably owned by US company and made in sweatshops in China). MB quart used to primarily make their stuff here in the good ole US, but when they sold out to MAXXsonics they outsourced the MB quart brand to Germany.
