considering the fact that they make multiple lines of speakers, it would probably help if you narrowed it down a bit...

it's like asking if a toyota is good for 4x4'ing - well a corolla or a tundra?

Depends on application, type of vehicle, etc. I have had two different series of MB Quart seperates and have been more than pleased with both sets. You might also want to look into Focal. I feel they are both on the same level, sound and price wise.

Like I said earlier...You are not going to be upset with the speakers at all. Hopefully they will be amplified and not run through the power of your headunit, and installed properly.

EDIT: Saw in your signature you are from Pensacola...Did some training at the Navy base there last year when it was about 9 degrees outside. Had to wade around in the ocean in a tiny one man life raft.

I have the Premium 6.5" component set. I'm very happy with them except for the lacking low-frequency response.

I have the PSD 5.25" component in the front and the PSD 6.5" components in the rear. They are by far the best I have had, hell of a lot better than my old infinity kappas. The titanium tweets are crystal clear, just make sure u put them on at least a -3 db on the crossover or your ears will bleed.
The only draw back is power requirements, you can't put anything less than 50 watts (off a real amp) to them. I have an Ecplise 50x4 amp going to both sets and I really with I got somthing more like a 75 watt range amp. They still sound good, and tuning is a sinch since the crossovers take care of anything u would change. Just make sure u have your amp set to a straight through setting and not filtering it in any way on it and u will be fine.
I ordered both sets off ebay for way less than retail, I would reccomend you doing the same.

My roommate has a pair of the 6.5 coaxial and they are really tight, because they don't have any wires going through the main woofer for the tweeter. Insted they go on the outside of the main tweeter and have this sort of "bridge" that goes over the woofer holding the tweeter and its wires. Perfect for an integra's rear speaker location IMO.

They're ok except they're made by Rockford Fosgate now. And you know who Rockford Fosgate is made by......? But seriously they aren't bad I've installed my fair share of MB Quart and they always sound descent. Thanx for not asking about Infinity Kappa's
