Go with Drago...Listen to them!!!!! Sorry to bash Throttle Up, but they are just a pain in the a$$ to use with Polk speakers....the holes between the speakers and the adapters just don't line up flush...the screws for the bottom hole of the adapters are too short to catch and don't stay in...I ended up using the stock screw...Who knows The Hawg Wired ones might not line up exactley either, but I'd give them a try...
I will tell u this as I said before, this setup is SICK, especially for the 350.00 it cost me...

I just received my Polk MM651's today in the mail, the first thing I did was check the fitment of the Hawg wired adapters to the Polks. The holes line up perfectly to the speakers, The only problem may be that Hawg wired said the tallest speaker that you should use is a 2 1/2 " depth. The Polks are 2 7/8's in depth, I've been told they will fit with plenty of room from other forum members and not to worry. If they don't I'll trim/shave a little off the adapters, Hawg Wired adapters are very well made and look like they can handle abuse. Chris

The MM651um look like much better speakers from the polk website: http://www.polkaudio.com/caraudio/mm....php?s=mm651um
The only concern I have is that the speaker grill cannot be removed:
Built-On Grille includes Tweeter Mount which eliminates the traditional tweeter "stalk".
Not sure if you can mount these speakers if the grill doesn't come off, maybe another forum member will have an answer for ya. Chris

the specs on the MM651UM are 2 7/8 mounting depth. I hope this will work. I know someone has mentioned 2 1/2 should be the deepest. We will see because I have already ordered them. I don't think I could shave 1/2" off the adapter rings... That would suck if the speakers don't fit.

A friend wants to get the polk MM651 and he dosen't have a amp. Will his stock set up be able to push these? At regular speeds or standing still not a 70 mph? He's got a 2010 SG. Thanks

The grill is removable. The tweeters are mounted in the middle like every other coax speaker.
