Killer deals on your eBay site !

I just bought from the polkdirect store, a set of mm461p's (79.99) and the 5 1/4 mm521's (89.99).

I cannot wait to place in my Caprice and jam to real speakers.

So please send them asap, ha.

Thanks again Polk !
I have to use the factory stereo until July (b-day gift).

What head units with HD radio are recommended to power my speakers ?

No sub right now, maybe some other day.

My factory set up works fine, but lacks home made CD playability, only playing stock CD's. It is a rare set up, stock AC Delco with CD in 1994 wagon.

    You know we have autosound forums, right?
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    Pioneer makes some really good HD units. The DEH-7200BT is a real good one and should drive those speakers nicely at 50w a channel.

    I prefer Pioneer for Radio reception over all other manufacturers. They still seem to care how Radio and now HD Radio sounds.

    That radio doesn't have HD radio built in. And that 50w rating is a IHBL (if hit by lightning) rating. It's a 14w RMS radio.

    Thanks Polk !
    Got 'em a day early.
    I will install by Friday and have them reviewed by the time we get back from Florida later this month.
    Cannot wait, especially since having stock speakers in a 94 Caprice wagon and waiting for the boss to let me pull the trigger on getting some Polks for the car.
    After that, I'll have to convince her to let me get 'em for her car.
    But a head unit for mine first. By July most likely.
