The Polk MM component speakers current models compared to the older modes of Polk MM components and the current models speakers. It's the ohm rating. The older model have a 2 ohm rated and the newer model have 4 ohms, watch for that in case you have an amplifier issue. In my case the older 2 ohm speakers made my amp put out more power yes but also comes more heat. And having my mid/tweet amp under my passenger seat and catalytic converter under there too generated extra heat and my amp would shut down after little wile of high volume to cool off. Especially in Southern California traffic on a hot day. Now i have the newer Polk MM models that are 4 ohm and i have less heat and no more shut downs issues. Oh i know the ? What amps were you running. A set of BA amps 4ch for mid/tweet and 2 ch for bass. Sad they don't make them anymore but way good amps. But personally i don't think they were the best for heat dissipation. Some of the BA amp models came with a built in fan but mine did not. This year i removed the BA amps and installed the new Kenwood XR401-4 High definition amps because i am moving to an all Hi Def set up. Love the Kenwood amps but that is for an other topic.
