So I finally got around to replacing the last of the stock speakers on
my Westy. Been meaning to do this, just didn't have the time.

I'm not trying to compete with the boom box rice runners, just trying
to have decent sound. Well it turns out one of the reasons the rear
speakers were so horrible is that one of them had a completely torn
diaphragm.

So now I have MB Quarts all around (PCE210's in the front , QSD210's
in the rear). I didn't bother to install the cross over boxes (or
tweeters) as, really, the Vanagon is just not a super high end
listening environment, especially going down the road. For high end
listening, I have my B&W speakers 802's at home.

I chose MB Quarts for a number of reason. One I remembered them as
being decent speakers, and Two, they can be flush mounted in the stock
door location.
