Can I mix dB series with MMC series speakers?

Hello to all! I'm a newb here as well and I'm planning to install the db675s in the front and MMC690 in the rear of my Camry. Can I get away with this? Or does the dB series have a different "voice" compared to the MMC Momo series speakers? Too bad Polk doesn't make a MMC6750 component set. Is there going to be a db6751 available soon? Also has anybody heard the difference between db675 and db6750 sound quality? Any recommendations? Hope to hear from you all!

    Normally you would install the better speakers in the front.

    As for db675 vs db6750... they will both have similar sound quality.. but the db6750 is a component set so its more tweakable as far as tweaker position and such.

    Whats wrong with the MMC6500? If a 6.75 will fit, these 6.5's will fit and sound better. This way you could have Momos all around! ;)

    I've been reading around the net about the difference of the dB series and the MMC Momos and as far as I can tell there is a difference in sound between the two. A lot of the reviews I read points out the Momos are more detailed in all ways. So having Excellent sound MOmos in the back will kinda cancel out the good speakers in the front as DoHCmark8 said. Your right Macleod, MMC6500 is the way to go! Or should I go for the MMC650s?

    This system will be powered by an Alpine head unit...I'm sure this will be enough!

    I don't know.

    The db series will sound better off HU power. Momo needs more to sound good. Why not get a dedicated 4 channel amp?

    The Momos will work off head unit power fine. The DB's are a little more effecient but the Momo's will still work.

    Are you planning on adding an amp? You should. Ya dont know what youre missing.
