Default 6.5" speaker help

Well I am doing my entire stereo setup now. I am going to be running a JL audio 12w6v2 in a stealth box with a jl audio 300/2 slash series amp. I will also be runing a jl audio 300/4 slash series amp to 4 6.5" speakers in the stock spots. Right now I am considering the MB Quarts RCE 216 REFERENCE 6.5" components and the JL audio XR650-CXI 6.5" XR CXI COAXIAL speakers. My question is which of these would be better in all four spots and is there anything else that sounds better then one of these two choices for around the same price?

i personally have the xr 650's in my front and the xr 650 coaxial in the rear, i this this is a great set up for the money. i just ordered my mcintosh amp today and cannot wait till it gets here. 50 watts X4 for $400 on ebay i couldn't pass it up. I would rate the xr 650 in between the reference line and premium line of mb quart. If u got the money get the mb's premium i think u will be really happy with them i wish i would have saved a little more for them. But dont get me wrong the xr's are really nice with no distortion but they definitely need to be amped like u stated u were doing. i have not unleashed their full potential yet but i will let u know when the mcintosh is installed. i would really consider dynaudio 6.5 too, if u want the best i here they are up there along with the Q line for mb quart. let me know if u got any questions about set up.
