It made a loud pop and smelled burnt when the amp failed.
That reminded me of when I was a kid in college working part time in a TV repair shop I guy came in with a blown fuse. You could tell something blew the fuse because of the scorch marks, it didn't just open up. He told the owner he wanted a fuse "just like this one" so the owner got a new fuse, hooked each end to the alligator clips of a zip cord, plugged it into an outlet and POW!. He then handed the fuse to the guy and said "There you go it's just like the one you have there".

I am gonna order Monday but still torn between the Polks and Moto's. The Motos may be to bright with the BT amp.

I like that the Motos can cut through the wind and exhaust noise, but since you are traveling at lower speeds another speaker might suit your tastes better.

I can say though that for a 6 1/2" speaker I can get decent bass out of them without distortion. I also don't run the treble up very high but I have a stock head unit so I'm most likely going to get a different sound from them than you will. That being said you might be able to shape the sound a bit more with your aftermarket head unit. They are well built for the money.

I'm sure there are plenty of folks here that can give you a better comparison between the Polks and Motos though, I only have experience with the Motos.

Decision made - neither. I picked up one of the component sets T recommended, the DB Drive Epc6k from one of the guys here in the classifieds. A BIG thanks to all for the comments and suggestions.
Mahalo,
Dave

U will like those Dave. Very solid presence!!!! Great bang for the buck!!!!

Get some of that grill cloth and treat it. Then place it over the face of the grill as u install the grill. Water protection plus it really cleans up that look of the fairing.
