I was just looking at subs (drooling, mainly....) and I decided to go to Tweeter's site to see how much the Polk subs cost at a store. So, when I go to their site and go to the speakers and search by brand.......Polk is not listed!!! Does Tweeter not carry Polk? What's going on?

    Tweeter does carry Polk Audio car and home products. Im lucky enough to have one not more than 2 miles from me and Im there frequently doing "test drives"! :D

    I dunno why they dont have any Polk products listed on their website tho.

    Tweeter has been extremely slow to update things on their website.

    Ahh. Well, that stinks. I stopped by there today and they had some MMC6500s, a C300.2, and a MM2124 (I think), and a C500.1 hooked up. Though, I don't think you could actually play the sub (which is why I wen!); they just had it in the wall.

    My Tweeter is pretty cool. They have 2 soundrooms. One for mid to high end gear and one for budget and lower priced gear. Most everything is hooked up and Ive been able to A/B all kinds of things. Polk vs JL Audio vs Alpine vs MB Quart vs Boston!

    If they ever hook up that MM2124 you owe it to yourself to give it a listen. It sounds as good as anything in there. The only thing I head that topped it was the much more expensive 13W7 running off a JL 1000/1.

    Even if they did hook it up so I could hear it, it's just mounted in the wall (in an open room; just a wall to the hall) like the components and stuff. It's not even in a sub box. That's kinda disappointing.

    I also checked out the new Alpine HUs, and I think they're pretty nice. They look better in person, and feel 'tight' and well-made. Pretty impressive, except for the 2V pre-outs. Exaclty how much better is it to have 6V pre-outs than 2V? Numerically, it sounds a lot better; however, is it really that much better?

    it allows you to spend less on rcas. a higher preout voltage simply increases the signal/noise ratio, same as a good RCA. both is very tasty. the noise environment is very car-specific, you may find that the extra voltage makes a world of difference, or it may make none.

    perhaps the shop would let you demo your current system with both average and excellent RCAs, and that'll tell you how much noise rejection you need.

    i have both: 6.5V preouts and stinger experts. i'm extremely noise-sensitive, and i can barely hear a hiss at full volume with a soloist. that's a damn low noise floor (but i'm working on dropping it to zero :))
