Last weekend I installed the polk DB650's in the rear and the MB Quart's RKC 113's in the front. I wanted to pass along my experiences.
1. The flex shaft didn't work for me at all. I broke it about half an hour after I bought it. :-( Using two flex sockets and 2 extensions worked much better for me for removing the passenger seat.
2. The Polks fit perfectly. I had to push back with a little force to compress the padding/noise material behind the speakers but no problems besides that.
3. I don't know if the RKC's are a different size than the MBQ's Bill installed, but they were a bit of a pain to install and didn't fit perfectly. The mounting rings have about 1/8" gap above the dash, and they were very tight to fit. So tight in fact that I think it compressed the rings a bit and the speakers also do not sit flush in the rings. But the covers fit fine. I did not have to trim the covers to get them to seat correctly.
4. The RKC's have crossovers and they fit fine underneath the dash.
5. Despite the questionable fit of the RKC's, everything sounds awesome. It's hard to believe the sound I have now is thru the same head unit. Before, I didn't even bother turning it on, because it sounded so crappy. Now, it sounds great.
Grade: A-. Less than perfect fit, but awesome sound.
