    No, but you can use a MW6500, MW6600x, MW6501, MW6503, and either the 6511 or 6510 (can't remember which is 8 ohms).

    For best results, use the 8 ohm driver that matches your other three.

    What is the problem if someone used the MW6502:confused:

    The crossover was designed for the original driver specifications and when you change the driver characteristics, you will change the load presented to the crossover. This will impact the sound. It will not sound like the way Polk originally designed them to sound.

    I am sure the more knowledgeable members will chime in regarding this issue.

    That's basically the way I understand it too.
