Hey guys, looking for a MW6511 for my polks. Want a factory original unless the replacements look exactly like the original. Would by more than 1 if you have it, as well as some MW6503's. Thanks, appreciate it!!

Good luck, a bunch of people are looking for vintage 6511 myself included, And no the new ones you get from Polk dont look exactly like the vintage ones.

The ones I got were not stickey on the cones, there were no leads visable on the outside of the cone and no cut outs for screws.

for some advice on the holes where the screws go, take an exacto knife and carefully cut it out exactly as mine were cut partially out from the factory but just a little off center and i just drove in the screw and when it hit the rubber srround it nearly pulled it up from the seal twisting with the screw. or did you mean no cut outs in the metal??

it had holes in the metal but no cut out for the screws in the surrounds like the older drivers, so I had to take my pocket knife (very sharp) and cut it out myself so that the screws did not twist up the surround when you tightened them down.
