and a Polk MM2124DVC sub:

Now is Polk a good car audio brand? Should get some Kicker or Eclipse system instead? Thanks!

The comp are ok, but you can get better sub for the price of that, and yes polk is a great car audio brand

I just bought the 6500's and a pair of 6x9's, they get installed the end of the week. I listened to jbl, infinity, polk, kicker, and pioneer. The local shops here didn't have JL Audio, Focal, or MB Quart so I didn't get a chance to hear those.

I think the Polks sounded wonderful, I'll know how they sound in the car then end of this week or beginning of next when I have them installed. I already have a Memphis Audio Sub so I didn't demo those.

I have mine installed now. I'm still on the factory head unit for now and I think they sound great. The amps and the new headunit get installed tuesday so that should make a big difference.

I'm very happy with the sound quality of the speakers.

let us know what you think, the amp should take you to a new level

Amp and headunit installed. I am so happy with the sound quality. Now I will stress listen to the speakers yourself before you buy. I just got the car back a few hours ago, I've listend to a little bit of everything. I have an iPod but ended up pulling out my CD's because I could tell the stuff that was below 192 bit rate. I would say very detailed and a smooth natural sound. High hat and cymbols not falling off, vocals are smooth.

I may have gone overboard with the bass. I bought a JBL GTO300.1 to drive my 12" dvc Memphis Studio sub. It's hitting really hard so I've got it turned down quite a bit, to level things out.

I would highly recommend these speakers to anyone that likes the way Polk Speakers sound.

I have always been a fan of polk audio, been a long time since I have installed any, but definitely decent.

Polk is alright, but like symon_say said you could get a better sub for that price, but all that matters if your happy, so enjoy it.
