I had the QSD 216's in my M3 cabrio. They were SO bright that even with the top down at 90mph, the front soundstage was clearly defined

I ended up running the tweeters at the next-to-lowest setting on teh crossover and playing with the HU settings a bit untill they actually sounded pretty damn good. I think they're potentially a very rewarding speaker with enough clean power and a lot of tweaking. They were perfect for top-down motoring where the ambient wind noise took the edge off.

That said, I listened to a pair of Diamond Audio S600s in a friend's M3 running on a virtually identical setup, and I thought they were a better sounding speaker (and at about 2/3 the cost!). I think the MB quarts are a bit overpriced and a bit unbalanced vs what else is out there.

edit: just re-read and noticed that you're looking at the qsC's, not qsD's. Since I've not heard the C's, I suppose I'm not really of much help! doh!

Very nice speakers! But can be very pricey. Buy them from an authorized dealer only though.

The Morels. But the Diamond's and the MB's are very nice as well. Just depends on the budget and the sound your looking for.
