    Thats impossible to say. It depends on your speakers, your car, your interior, your musical tastes, your amps........you get my point. Youre just going to have to work on it til you get it to where YOU think it sounds best.

    I'm starting to get frustrated. It seems like everytime I'm able to save a hundred or so, something keeps coming up. Should I go ahead and get the MOMO's or should I just be frustrated with what I've got and keep TRYING to save for the SR's?

    I would suggest that you go for the SR's..... you will end up wishing you went with them in the end.

    At the same time.......if you can't afford it, you can't afford it..........and unless you're going to plan on living in your car, make sure your other ****'s handled before you even consider putting money into car audio.........

    No it's not that. My bills and all my personal stuff is always handled, even before I get payday. It's just that I don't do anything during the week but go to work and come home. Easy to save money then. But...on the weekends (that I don't get my son) it's always bar hopping and titty bar hopping. LOL I can't say no to when my cousin calls me up and says "Hey man let's go shoot some pool and then go to the titty bar". I just don't, for some reason, have it in me to say "Man I really can't afford to go to the bar AND save money for my speakers". I'm trying to have the willpower to say "no" but it's hard LOL. Take last night for instance. We went to this strip club called Lady Godiva's. I figured I could try to save money because they have pool tables there also. Well pool there was a dollar in quarters per game. They had $1 specials on Bud Light bottles, so we ended up drinking probably a case of beer just in that. Not to mention when you're fully ready and shitfaced the stripper/waitresses come by with their $2 shooters of Jagermeister and you do 4 or 5 of those plus drinking 2 Long Island Iced Teas. You know after all that's said and done, oh yeah you have to tip the strippers too. And after you've done all that in a matter of 4 or 5 hours you've forgot all about saving money for speakers in your car. So I guess I need to put my priorities in perspective. Sorry for rambling on I guess I'm still kinda half drunk :D

    Why do you say that? I don't type all this and post these to be bashed. This is a forum - an online place for people to chat. If you're gonna be a basher you don't have to be in here.

    Nobody can answer that for ya dude. If get a lot of pleasure out of great audio, and can afford them, then do yourself a favor and get as good a gear as you can swing. However if you like good tunes but dont want to break the bank then get the Momos. You get what you pay for and the more expensive SR's will sound noticeably better than the cheaper Momos.

    As a dealer for Polk I will say this. When we picked up Polk Audio our Alpine rep bragged! about the fact that he thought the Type X line sounded every bit as good as the MOMO Classic line. The MOMO line! There is an obvious price difference there in the Polk's favor. That being said, if you can get better midbass performance and a ring radiated tweeter with a GORGEOUS crossover for less money that the SR line take it. Run home and make love to it. But I don't think you will find a better speaker for the price. The SR line is awesome.
