I'll be curious as to how well the Polk MM652's balance out with the Mmats for future reference. I already have the Mmats in my tour pack, but it will be good to know how well the Polks work, for those not wanting to spend the extra bucks on the Vtwin speaker adapters.

The polks would surprise you. I have them running with the same amount of power as 4 PA speakers in front of me and I can definitely tell when they are on or off.

It really is a cave man install brother. Maybe 30 mins. I run the Mmats 601CX and they provide very good balanced sound. My Dragon likes them too. The Mmats are a very safe purchase for that location!!! If u want damn aggressive them GZ reds are screamers but momma say no bueno.

the polks did not suprise me at all, they were tested side by side and failed, just the truth, they could not hang. not that they sound bad, they just would not keep up.
as far as how well the weather treated Mmats hold up, they are great, i get rained on all the time here in south florida, anything from mist to torrential downpoor, never ever had a water issue.

If u really want the sit out in the rain overnight speaker I would think about a marine grade ATV speaker like the DB Drive WDX Moto Gen 2. Prob some very good sound in that rear pod location as well.

My recliner pack w the treated Mmats CX is the long haul pack and that biatch ain't stopping for rain. Have hit a few big showers and no issues whatsoever.
