Focal or Polk? Buying tomorrow

[TEKNOSYS]

Buying a new set of components for the front of my Subaru. Should I go with the Focal access 6.5" or Polk db series 6.5"s? The Focals are $269 and Polks $199. I know I can get them cheaper online, but I'm buying and installing them tomorrow. For now they'll be running off a Punch 360.2 amp. Rest of the system includes a JDM Alpine head unit and JL 10w6v2 powered by a polk c500.1. Thanks

Me personally?

Focals

I owned two set of DB570 mids and they were decent, but not worth it in my opinion. MOMO is the only set of Polk comps I'd consider.

no direct experience with either, but Focal has a huge reputation that impresses me

uhh.....Polk:uhoh:

I would upgrade those to the MOMO series, that you'll be talkin'. Because if your going to get the focals for 269 step up to the Polks which I believe are only 300-400! It'll be your best buy hands down. The momo series are amazing speakers.

Focals...although those new high-end Polks seem interesting for about $400 more //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Thanks for all the replies. I went with the Focals for $250, and they sound great. I might have considered the Polk MOMO series, but my Subaru WRX has clearence issues and the MOMO's are a pain in the but to get to fit.

Thank god the Infinity Kappa's I had in there are gone, they sounded aweful. Can't believe I ran them for so long...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
