Default Which Polk Speakers? Im confused!

Please tell what model Polk Speakers are the ones to get? I'm running the RF300 watt amp with the two J&M's. Im finding they distort very easily as others here have complained. They were definitely better than stock. Now I want the best.
I'm seeing some say 6501 some say 651. Some say they don't care whether they are marine of not, their bike doesn't get wet. I would like as close to 2 ohm as possible. I will be running just two in the fairing with the amp and stock HK.

Please help steer me in the right direction. Please include adapter ring reccomendations also? My J&M's had the 7.25 adapter in the kit.

Thanks In Advance!

C

MM651

Tweeters are mounted to the woofer. Easy install.

Just ordered the speakers off Amazon "Prime" and the Dragonfly adapters off Ebay. Dragonfly was 29.99. A little less than Amazon's Arc's.

Thanks,

Cliff

Those are the cheapest I've seen the Polk speakers in a while. They were close to $140 when I bought mine.

Dragonfly is better anyway. They just don't have them on Amazon. I got mine off of Ebay too. They are a forum sponsor IIRC.

Cool!

I'm hoping I will notice an improvement over the J&M's I am running now.

I was just thinking, what grills do you use with these MM651's? I threw my stock ones out when I installed the J&M's? I hope I didn't screw myself?

You're going to need your stock ones back, unless you plan on either doing some serious cutting/fitting/glueing with the Polk grilles, or buying aftermarket ones. I have the stock grilles with the HD chrome trim with mine.
