I could not find any reviews on this amp. I'm guessing there aren't that many out there since they are relatively new and were expensive...until now. However, I know that Quart makes some of the best audio equipment out there. At least at the same level as Alpine & JL Audio, if not better. I cannot imagine this is anything but an excellent amp. Anywho, you get to try this for 30 days and if you don't like it, send it back with no cost to you, so why don't you try it out?

man, I would jump all over this except for the fact I have a polk momo 4-channel amp sitting in my closet waiting to be installed in my car. I wonder if this amp is better than the one I currently have.

excellent deal op! quick q...i am planning on buying those infinity reference 1230W speakers. i'm a total car audio noooob (the term noob is an understatement). those speakers require 300watts each or something like that. how does the four channel thing figure into the setup?

hookinitup,
It all depends on how you wire it up. If you're using the amp exclusively for a pair of infinity's, you'll want to bridge the 4 channels into 2. That way you'll get 400watts RMS into each.
Infinitys require some serious power to push it. Get a good amp like some JL or you're going to hear the amp clipping.

hookinitup,
If you bridge the channels, it'll put out 400w x 2 @ 4ohms. So each sub will get 400 watts (100 extra since those Infinity's only need 300w RMS). However, that should work great if you properly set the gain on the amp.
Lots of MB Quart stuff on clearance, including some other amps and some very nice looking deals on subs.
Use the site map.

Good deal...I only wish I needed it. My PPI amp is still running strong...although only 30W x 4.

A friend of mine told me these were going to be marked down even more soon. And since they are on clearance, I would think he is right and that a newer model is on the horizon.

From what I heard from some forums, this MB Quart amp is actually manufactured by Rockford Fosgate. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Rockford owns MB Quart so I would imagine it is similiar to Rockford.

Can anyone compare this to this Infinity 111RMS x 4 for running 2 sets of full range components.
This is the newer Infinity at Cruthfield with more specs listed...its pretty much the same as the 7540A.
If its better, I'd want to get 2...1 for the full range and 1 for my dual coil sub. Would there be any problems using the coupon 2x(2 separate orders)?
TIA

Step 3: In the cart, add coupon code "PA145" in the upper right hand coupon box and click "apply".

I used to be a car audiophile in my earlier years, and MB Quarts USED to make the top mids and highs available on the market. Couple years ago, they got bought out by Rockford Fosgate, so im not so sure how the quality factor on their products has been changed.

Both Infinity and MB Quart make good stuff so I would say it's probably a toss-up.

I would not recommend this unless your electrical system has been upgraded with an HO alternator. The fuse rating on one of these I believe is 90 amps so two could potentially draw 180 amps, which is probably twice your stock alt's output capability. Needless to say, you would have some serious issues. If I can make a recommendation, I would go with a set-up like mine. I decided a long time ago that I wanted to use most of the available (spare) amperage in my car for the sub amp (I have a sedan so it takes a bit more power in the back than in a hatchback or SUV, because the rear seats block a lot of the sound), and that I would only run the front speakers with a dedicated 2-channel amp. Think about it, you sit in the front and the music comes from the front, so why even have speakers in the rear? If you're at a concert, which way do you face? Towards the band or away from it? "Rear-fill" is a myth as far as I am concerned, and you don't need it to have fantastic sound. (Actually, I could argue with you that the music won't sound as good and you would have poor imaging with rear speakers running). If you have a sedan, another advantage to not using the rear speakers is that you can take the speakers out and you have now created "vents" to help more sound get into the cabin. This actually made a huge difference in my case (I have a Honda Accord). If you buy a good set of separates for the front and you feed them adequate power, you will never miss those rear speakers again!

Marked down more than they are now or they would get marked down as they are now?
I disagree with the absolutely no useful info part! I am sure there must be one or maybe even two useful tidbits in that huge example of why I needed to pay more attention in english classes.
