POLK MOMO MMC690 6x9"s??

Polkemon

I am debating on these for the front doors of a 1998 Dodge Ram but wanted to get some opions since I have never bought much aftermarket 6x9's other than a set of the Infinity Kappa's 693i's back 10 years ago and from I remember they sounded preety good but they were back deck speakers.

How is the Midbass from 6X9's compared to a decent set of Components say the 6.5 MoMo's? I will be powering with a PDX4.150 Amps.

Thanks to All!!!


Alpine PDX ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The MMC690's are the best coaxial speaker on the market IMO. I ran a set in my 02 Ram for a couple years and loved them. I bi-amped them running thru the crossover to the tweeter and then full range to the mid. Awesome speaker.

They will fit but you will have to exercise a little elbow grease. The basket on these things is the size of a football and you have to do some cutting to get them into the standard size cutout in the door. Youll also have to use a spacer but trust me, its worth it.

Not worried about the tough install just want to have a good balance with the subs. I had thought about a set of the K2P's just for something different but how would the Midbass compare on the MoMo 6x9's to the K2P's on these doors?
I know the depth is almost 3" from the Window track to the door so I am guessing about a .25-.50 spacer would do it and also how much cutting would have to be done casue if the K2P;s would be as good in the Midbass then it should be an easer install.

Thanks

Well the K2P's cost about 4 times what the MMC690's cost so naturally theyll be a better speaker.

but in terms of Midbass what one would give more?

Did you run direct from your amp to the mid and had your amp full range then went via the crossover to the tweeter having your amp high-passed?

How much did you have to cut out to make them fit?

Dude, if youre trying to decide between a $600 speaker and a $100 speaker - get the $600 speaker.

I ran the front channels thru the crossover to the tweeter. Then I ran the rear channels straight to the mids.

You wont have to cut a ton but you will have to do some trimming.
