How would these speakers compare to a set of polks when hooked up to a Soundstream PN2.350D 2ch amp or a Rockford Fosgate PBR 300x2.

Thanks

They are 4ohm rated speakers. Those two amps would give more power with a 2ohm rated speaker.

The 6.5 s are loud as ::&))8)(:, I'd hate to know what the 7.2s sound like.

Well I have the 6.5's in the lowers and the 7.1's in the fairing. With the BT2180 amp and a 2ohm load I have around 500watts of sound in my face. It is very loud and clear also.

Anyone switched to these from Fosgate T1652s? I did the pre-order on the HAT drop in 5x7s, but have yet to hear any of the HAT speakers. I do have a PBR 300x4 (my 3rd).

The efficiency numbers on those speakers all spec out to below 90db @ 1 watt.......... Weird that the 6X9 has the highest effiency rating..... too bad the frequency isn't lower........

IIRC,.........Nutz has stated MANY times that he wouldn't buy a speker that spec'd out below 90.

As a barometer,....I think the Polk MM's are at/close to 94.........

Doesn't mean they can't sound good,......just means it takes some pushin' to get them there.

The spec chart has all models above 92 the way I read it.

You're not reading it @ db's @ 1 watt.They all LOOK like they're above 90,......but using @ 2.83 volts,..makes the numbers look better.

Just a marketing ploy that was started to compare apples and pineapples !

As an example: 92.5 dB at 2.83 volts is the same as 89.5 dB at 1 watt

See how that works ??? Sneaky sneaky !!

AS I said before,...it doesn't mean that it won't sound good,......it'll just take more power to get it there.
