[QUOTE="audiobaun, post: 8820459, member: 634282"] Ive had those Polk tweet and Mid Combo set up back in 90 I believe. Ive been looking for a set forever..I the 3 way set up along with the woofer 5.25 and I believe it came with a crossover? Cant remember.I had that system installed due to working all the time. But had them on a Concord/JBL GTQ 400 with some JBL GTQ 6.5s in rear doors with (4) of the T102 bazookas in the trunk of an 87 Accord on a Concord HU with a Hercules VII, and had a Concord CA 50.2 on some other set of 6.5 JBLs in the front doors with a JBL 3 way external Xover. Those Polks sound really nice. I would run them on their own Channels @ 4ohms if at all possible and not run the risk running them with another 4 ohm tweeter 2 ohms at a higher freq, as the mid will not perform correctly.Amps always run harder and run warmer at a lower Ohm load as well. If you do decide to run at 2 ohms.. I would make sure you have some Xovers to keep the proper low freq. out of the mix. I dont remember if those Polkshave an Xover for the tweets.? I would still recommend one for the mid regardless [/QUOTE]
