[QUOTE="stephgirl, post: 8704286, member: 660189"] I used to run the Polk MM6501 They did sound good. But you have to know that they are 2 ohm rated component speakers. I had a heat issue with my older amp running the speakers with the 2 ohms. I could not understand why the amp got hot after a wile and went into protection mode and when cooled off came back on for a wile and then hot went off and back and forth. Eventually traced it down to finding out they were 2 ohm rated. Off then on back and forth got tired of that and went to standard 4 ohm speakers and no more issue. Since then replaced the amps and speakers. Got the MM6501 as refurb direct from the Polk Audio from there Ebay store. Yes they have a Ebay store. The current new model MM 6502 are 4 ohm, humm wonder why the went to 4 ohm on the new model. But i am currently running two of Polk DB 842 SVC 8" subs in an old Kicker substation tube boxs. I loved the old school Kicker substation tubes. Had a few sets and just a couple years ago replaced the subs with the Polk audio ones and they sound good. Found out the specs on tube box and called techs at Polk audio and chated with them and they said the subs would work fine. There in a 2004 Tacoma Xcab truck. Your mileage may very [/QUOTE]
