does anyone have an opinion on their MM series?

use to own two 12in subs, curious to know about the full range speakers.

I used to run the momo series. I really liked them, they are quite smooth. I still run the db's for rear fill.

X2 I use to have them in my civic great speakers for the money. The new mm series I would expect the same out of. Also the SR series are amazing.

well as far as the subs go, i really liked them, very clean. friend has a pair of JL w1s and i think the polk subs sound much cleaner.

I am running a set of the Momo 6.5" components in the doors of my silverado right now. Actually had the polk's new in the box laying around for the past couple of years. I have about 20 to 30 hours play time on them right now. Here is my opinion.

I am running everything flat at the moment for break in purposes the mid's are just starting to break in and hit a little lower with more defined midbass.

The tweeter is very smooth which is welcome for me as i listen to lots of metal. i have had other tweeters that just about make your ears bleed.

Mids. Sound good in the low end but really like a bit of eq to get them going. The tonal transition is just a bit lacking right now between the tweeter and the mid but remember i am running them flat at the moment, i am sure some eq'ing will change that.

For breaking in purposes i am sending 60 w rms to each side. Honestly they really start to sound good and clean about the time the amp craps out. I plan to send them 100w rms very soon but they would probably sound best with a good clean 150w rms.

Overall i am satisfied for now but i am looking into a tweeter and 4" mid combo in the kicks with a dedicated 6.5" midbass in the doors. Possibly a tweeter/5 1/4"/ 8" midbass if i can get the 8" to fit in the door somehow.

I think i paid like $180.00 for them a couple of years back and they sound better than the focal access stuff i had previously. Focal tweeters blow way to easy. And i like them much better than the MB quart stuff i had years ago.

if i were looking at a budget again of under $200 i would buy them again or the diamond hex's.

sounds good, bc i was also lookin at the diamond audio stuff, and some alpines also, but i can get an alpine review anywheres. so thanks. and yeah i love have a great mix with everything especially a good soundin tweeter but one that wont make your head pound and your ears bleed.

If its the MOMO MM6 series comps your looking at you will be very happy with the sound, if its the new and lower quality MM6500 i would not waste my money on them.
