What do you guys think about these?
MB Quart 3-Ways

I, personally, have never been a fan of woofers in the front stage. I also prefer 5" midranges and 1.25" tweeters.
IMHO, I think this would be a good rear stage.
If your asking about quality of construction, reliabilty, and SQ, then you have made a good hoice.

I was planning on the 8" in the door, 4" and tweeter in a kick.

Very nice speakers, but a bit pricey. Your plan is excellent as far as speaker placement.

Any other suggestions?

That's pretty much my plan as well, take your time and get everything aimed right and you will be very pleased Then cut out the back door speakers and you will be in heaven!

My suggestion is this;
6 3/4" Midbass in doors
5 1/4" Midrange in kick panel
1 1/4" Tweeter located high on door
(as close to chin level as possible)
6" x 8" Two-way in rear doors with 1/2 the power
(i.e. if front is at 75W then rear at 35W or 40W)
Also these should be angled to point as close as possible to the center console.

Just curious on the size selection of the doors and kick panel. I assume that the 6.5" driver in the doors would be for ease of installation? An 8 will fit without major mods, and provides better bass response.

A 4" should have better off axis response, in general, than a 5.25". The 5.25 will allow a lower crossover point than the 4" to keep the point source goal intact by keeping the speakers withing 1/2 a wavelength of the crossover freq.

1.25" tweeter is interesting only because I have not seen one before. I am looking for something along these lines because it should allow me to use a lower crossover point because of the lower fs. I have some 8s that don't have a lot of upper midrange extension.

I will be mounting the tweeter on the piece of plastic that covers the vent for the side mirrors. Just thought this was cool.

My opinion = I don't like 8" woofers in the door.
I prefer the sound (and it does better in SQ+ competitions) of 6 3/4" mid-basses.
To help make up for a lack of bass I then go with the larger mid-range.
1.25" tweeter I currently have (and its 5 years old now) is a Soundstream THX tweeter.
Great sound!
I think, my opinion again, that a properly powered/crossed-over/& mounted subwoofer should provide all the bass necessary for a system and it should be omni-directional.
