Default Almost there

I'll correct earlier posts saying this was a finished product. I do really like what I have right now. I think I'm actually missing a little in the high end, and have a little too much in the sub 200 range. I made some adjustments and will try it out on the ride home. It's amazing to me where it is now versus where I started with a single pair of Polk mm652s.

I do think my next move will actually be the tour pak and pods. Depending on how happy I am with the tune by then, I'll probably stick with mmats.

I don't have a lot of bottom end like the bigger systems do but I do appreciate having two different sets of speakers behind me. We lose a lot of different sounds once we get in the wind and they do help compliment each other.

I cant tell you how surprised I was with the cheap Rockville 8's. They do a great job at filling in the front, which is why i think it sounds like it has too much sub 200. Something a little brighter behind me would sound pretty good, I think.

I have Analog Designs CX621s in my rear pods. I was able to fit them in with just a 1/4" spacer. I like the way they sound, loud and clean without being harsh and definitely water resistant. I don't have a lot of experience with lots of brands of 6.5s but I have no desire to swap those out. They have to be crossed a little higher than most but I don't expect much bass out of a 6.5 in the back anyhow. They do what I ask of them with 100W each going to them.
