New Polkmomo Line

Has anyone heard how much longer it is going to be for the new polkmomo line comes out? They are past due for a new line in this department.

They had a survey about them a couple weeks ago, with several different pictures of different designs to figure out which ones people like best. So I'd say they are still awhile off.

I am new to Car audio systems. How old is MOMO shown in Crutchfield?

Is the MOMO line the equivalent to their LSI line in home audio?

No, the SR(Signature Reference) line would be the equivalent to the LSi line.

The thing that gets me is a year or two ago when you all had that gathering at polk audio headquarters. They had a diagram layout of how the momo's were going to be built.

And if I remember correctly they had a protype of one. It just seems like it's taking them a long time this time around. When you consider other company's bring out a new line every year.

There is a tremendous amount of time that goes into pre-production, design and the overall process of a new product....sometimes years.

Patience can be a good thing

Yeah thats true blackmax! I guess I'm just getting tired of the current momo line. I hope the new momo's will sound better than the current line. Hopefully they will add a little of the SR Series technology to the momo line this time around.

That was probably the 5.25" SR components you're thinking of. I don't think we even were thinking that heavily about the Momo stuff then... unless it was an off the wall industrial design idea.

Only a few Polk products have taken yearS to develop Two from recent memory spring to mind.

That would be nice..... trickle down affect would be good .

*bow* I'll leave that issue to the pro's but my point was its not simple. If it was, we'd all be in the business.

I think they were showing a "step- up" Momo sub for a while, but that never happened. Instead we did the SR subs.

New Momo will be out next year, new db was introduced this year, but the new db subs are still a few months off...

Yeah, it was a BEEFY sub, big magnets and huge surrounds. Was supposed to be a power monster. Like 1000-1200 watts or something IIRC.

However, that wasn't the cool sub! The cool one was that push-pull unit! That was an awesome idea!

Thom can you tell much difference in the new db's this year far as sound quality goes?
