Right now I have Polk 6x9 in the front and 6.5 in the rear.They are just the DB series but with my Memphis amp they sound pretty damn good.My question is this...would the Memphis comp. set sound substantially better then my Polks? Ive heard great things about the Memphis but I just wanted some input on the Polk coax's vs. the Memphis comps.(or any comps for that matter). Thanks |

Most people complain about them not having enough midbass, or lower end period. That maybe, they sound airy, and a bit harsh (tweet). Some say you just need to break them in, and its like night and day. Though I have heard polk sound really good, its never been my cup of tea for sound. And niether has Memphis. But you might want to consider the line of Memphis vs the model for Polk, you could have a much better series in the Memphis. In which case, you woudl want them in the front, and seeing as they are comps, you should get the potential sound quality vs them being in the back. So Id go comps up front, and 6x9 in the rear. |
