I wanted to know what are your favorite MW woofers. I am building some custom SDA speakers with 8 stereo, and 8 SDA woofers per cabinet. What I would like to know is what are your favs when it comes to clarity, efficiency, and bass response. Each speaker is only going to be feed 50 watts. On a lot of the favorite SDA speakers of all time I see some of the older ones on the top of the list.

MW6500
MW6501
MW6503
MW6510
MW6600

Thanks Ben

    MW6510 and MW6511. Why? Because that is what came in my SDA1-C's, and that is what belongs there.

    They are all the same sounding as far as I know. They have different resistance voice coils in order to work out with polks crossovers. Any perceived difference should only be due to a given resistance/amp synergy. I've only actually listened to a few out of box though.

    6500. They are not as stiff as the 6510 or 6503. The only thing is they pop when played very loud, but all in all I think they are the most musical driver Polk ever produced.
    Monitor 7b's front
    Monitor 4's surround
    Frankinpolk Center (2 mw6503's with peerless tweeter)
    M10's back surround
    Hafler-200 driving patio Daytons
    Tempest-X 15" DIY sub w/ Rythmik 350A plate amp
    Dayton 12" DVC w/ Rythmik 350a plate amp
    Harman/Kardon AVR-635
    Oppo 981hd
    Denon upconvert DVD player
    Jennings Research (vintage and rare)
    Mit RPTV WS-55513
    Tosh HD-XA1
    B&K AV5000


    Dont BAN me Bro!!!!:eek:

    Thanks Jake, and DB. I kinda fallow that train of thought my self. Like you said if they didn't pop when pushed to hard the second gen MW6500's would be my faves. Plus they are so efficient!
    Edit I like the Polk mw's all around I have tried to find aftermarket speakers with the same quailities... NoDice!

    Edit I will post my invintory of speakers, and PRs soon.
    Also the second loudest clear speakers I have made were basically 2 monitor 10's built into one cabinet wired for 6ohms nominal. 120 DB.
