I purchased these to replace a set of $60 Pioneer speakers on my rear deck. The difference in sound quality is impressive.
The MMs have a much warmer, and yet clearer sound than the Pioneers. In my opinion they also blow the Polk Db series out of the water. The separate "tweeter/round mid" design, is far superior to the elliptical design. You get what you pay for!
I am using a simple 4*16 Watts RMS Single Din Alpine Head unit to power all my speakers. While an amp would obviously be better, this unit has more than enough power to drive these speakers.
I matched the rear MM461p, with a set of MM5251 components in the front. I just wished I could have fit some MM6501s in the front door panels, to get slightly more front mid-bass, since I don't have a Sub!
The MM series speakers are in my opinion some of the best mid-priced speakers Polk has ever made.
Unlike Infinity or even Mb Quart speakers, all Polk MMs offer a very warm sound (lower frequencies), therefore not having a sub is not the end of the world!
I was so happy with these, that I installed MM6501s (Front) and MM651s (Rear) in my other car!

I bought this to replace the infinity kappa 4x6's I had in my front doors. These sounded a lot alike until the tweeter. This is by far the better tweeter and is much more smooth but it cant be adjusted like the kappas. The problem I have with these speakers is that they are 4x6's. I am not a big fan of them and if I would do it again I would probably go with a high quality 4" speaker.
standard shipping shipped in only 5 days from CA to Iowa, it was pretty nice to know a company will go all out for their customers. and especially treat the products well with tons of packaging to prevent damage. overall great quality
