Comments on Polk/Momo 10" boxed sub model MM10
Web retailers are clearing these things out, sounddomain has em for
$139 + $22 shipping which sounds like a bargain. Wondering if anybody is using one of these and how it sounds and what kindof power you're putting to it. I would be running it with a 100W RMS Alpine mono sub. Thinking of buying one to use in the interim while I build a box and find a 12" sub I like. Suppose I could sell it later pretty easily on ebay for $80 or so. May sell the amp too considering 100W RMS might not be enough for a 12" sub. Check the sub specs out he http://tinyurl.com/yrzzw Thanks, respond to group. -T |

Comments on Polk/Momo 10" boxed sub model MM10
Seems like a decent deal considering what they used to go for. But for that
money, there are much better subs out there. Personally, I think the MOMO line crashed for a good reason. I actually considered their speakers (but not necessarily their subs) inferior to the old dB and MM lines, both of which are personal favorites of mine. I have no experience with the new dB line. Anyone know if they resurrected the old speakers? Or are they just ripping off the name? "TomTom" wrote in message om...

Maybe I got a bad pair...but they're just muddy as all getout - and I've checked polarity and phase...they're just... ugh. Installed JBL GTO 6x9 coaxials in the rear....and they just ROCK. Both pairs running off hu (Alpine 9813) power. I have to attenuate the rears substantially (not fader - but the input levels) to get the sound evened up - and the rears still kick the db650's in all aspects (treble response, bass response, loudness and clarity).

It's probably mostly a sensitivity issue. The older dB series components needed to be run off of an amp for sure. The newer ones may also have the low sensitivity. How did you install them? Doors? Did you seal them well? Did you have to create your own baffle? |

Gary,
Still not to happy with the polks??You really have to get a test tone cd and spend alot of time ajusting that radio.Did you ever hook up that Alpine 4 channel you bought??Take a stop by the shop I have all the Alpine units on sale along with there subs.We can start pieceing together another system for the Mustang Mark S Sound City |

Did you seal them well? Did you have to create your own baffle? Both pairs of speakers are rated at 91dB sensitivity. The db650's are installed in the factory spaces in the door. Used the factory mounting plate (cut the back off), and sealed it with a ring of "dyna-mat-like" material (g). All I can say is "ugh" Maybe I'll just run 150 watts RMS to each of 'em...hehe that'll make 'em work. |

Assuming of course one doesnt already have the equipment to build their own box, I think its not a bad deal. The funny part is, Circuit City want near 300 bucks for this same sub!! |
