Default Rf vs polk

Does anyone have a preference between the rf t165 or the mm series polk 6.5" for my batwing speakers? I've always liked rf stuff in the past but I've never used it for a bike so I guess that's a whole different story.

The Polks are much more efficient than the RFs, and so will play louder. The Polks also have a higher power rating, so they will handle more amplifier watts. Bottom line, the Polks will play much louder and handle much more power than the RFs based on the specs.
