MBQuart Speaker Upgrade Project

Used MB Quart RSB 215 Referenze Premium Component Sets

Purchased from 007 Audio for $199 a set (2 sets), Total Cost $400

Task : Replace all tweeters and 5.25" speakers with new MB Quart speakers

Reason : Improve the sound quality and clarity

I am very satisfied with this upgrade.  It greatly increased the clarity/quality of the DSP sound system in my 2000 540.  I am sure these instructions would work well on a non DSP sound system as well.  No amps were replaced and no speaker wiring ran.  This is a direct replacement of 8 speakers inside the car in the stock locations.
