Polk Audio MM6501

unbelievable sound for the price

I used to think that polk car audio lacked depth and richness in tone with their rmobil line of speakers, but not any more!!!
I picked these up for my commuter car because I knew they would last a long time because of their ability to handle power, and was completely blown away by their sound! Seriously, the way they sound impresses me more than the boston pro's that I have in my zx.
For the price, they are #1 wit me right now. I am running em with a 4 channel alpine mrv amp at 100w per channel and the sound is full and rich. they blend nicely with the JLw10' s and play hip hop, rock, metal. country and dance music. Im seriously thinkin of buyin another pair right now to hide in the closet for a rainy day!

Very impressed!

I ordered these speakers after already owning a pair of Polk DB6501. I had had the DB6501 set up in the front sound stage, but when I received the MM6501 I replaced the front with the MM's and moved the DB's to the back. WHAT A HUGE DIFFERENCE! The MM's absolutely blow the DB's away (and I was a fan of the DB's). In my opinion, if you are on the fence for an extra 60-70 dollars the difference between the two Polk series is more than worth it. Very good bass response, crystal clear highs. Loving life!

Silverado perfection

I put these in the stock location, drilled out the tweeter and used the oval piece to flush mount the tweeter. Sound deadened the door skin. Put the crossover on -3db and hooked them to a RF amp. I couldn't be happier with my purchased! I decided to splurge on components and all of the reviews are true! Awesome sound, warm and not sharp. If you are on the fence, they are worth it and Polk has won me over!

Great Value

You can find a few better sounding speakers out there, but not for this price. Not even close. Crisp and clear sound as long as your source equipment driving them are good. You won't be disappointed. Don't expect them to replace sub-woofer's, you will be disappointed, but they are not supposed to. You have to be creative mounting the tweeters, but an easy task for an experienced installer.

Polk Does it Again!

I have used Polk speakers in many of my cars. The shallow depth and scattered mounting holes made the install less difficult. Although no install in an '02 BMW 330xi is easy. Comparing these to stock speakers is not fair, so I won't. The bass is rich and not punchy. Midrange is well ballanced. The hi's are crisp and not brassy. I would like to have a little more power handling, but for the price it's just right.

Better than Infinity and Alpine Type R

I've installed Alpine Type R components in my wife's car, put Infinity's in my older daughters car and I just put these in my youngest daughters car and these are the best! Super clear and loud!

Amazing,sound quality

A birthday gift to my wife, a pair of MM6501 Polk Audio Component speakers. She has been complaining or offering negitive freedback in a positive way about the sound quality in her 2012 Matrix AWD. Those front door speaker locations are so low, limitations are many, namely sound quality.
The Polk Audio MM6501 were a breeze to install once you figured out how everything was going to come together. Just follow the magic picture from the guide. I dynomaxed the speaker enclosure and installed a foam lining before installation of the speakers. The tweeter I installed surface mount, one hole for the wire, alittle silicone and a screw. Pop in the tweeter and your away. She is running an Alpine 105 head unit with the 45w x 4 additional alpine amp. Infinity 6.5 inch in the rear doors adds a nice addition to the Polk Audio.
Well, I finished the install just as she came out to bring me a coffee, so we cranked her up for the first listen. OH MY GOD, truly amazing difference, sounds so much better. She is so happy. Happy Wife, Happy Life. I have ordered an additional pair for my Tacoma, can't wait.

Awsome

Replaced factory speakers in my 2009 Monterey 278-SC as part of a stereo upgrade. Very good strong sound delivery with no distortion

Simply Awesome Sound Quality

Great set of speaker with high quality sound
Recommended to all buyers. Worth more than it's price.
It has great sound quality. Never gonna regret this buying.
Crisp And Clean !!!

I'm floored

Truly dynamic, now I may be loosing a little bit of my hearing at my age, but I can tell you these are as good as the original Quart's of 1992 which I still own. I'm powering them with the new MB Quart ONX4.125 and paired in parallel with Quart 1.6 tweeters. I was leary about what ohms the amp might see being the Polks are 2.7 ohms and quarts being 4. The amp has plenty of headroom and runs cool to the touch.Have to love technology in manufacturing. Great product.I hope they stand the test of time.
