Ahhh! I can not decide!
 

Trying to decide between Kicker RS55.2 or Polk MM6501 components. Both can be had for $200 brand new.

Trying to find the best bang for the buck while on a budget build. These two seem like the top two contenders. Did alot of research.

The polks have alot of positive reviews. Shallow magnet and silk tweeters are a plus. I have no experience with silk but i hear they make less harsh highs. I like that bc my ears can be sensitive. Im worried about losing detail however. My firsr comp wer e hertz hsk165 comp, the teteron tweeter was incredibily clear but woukd get harsh at times. Probably didnt help they were on axis to my face.

The kickers are constructed very similar to the hertz with a teteron tweeter. I know what to expect with harshness. However, i will be mounting the tweeter in the stock location so they will be off axis. That may help. Plus the top mounting depth of the mid is only about 2.5 inches so it shouldnt have clearance issues. Cant find much feedback on these on the net, but the few i did findsaid they are incredibly powerful and ssound great.

Since im going with an off axis approach am i better off going with the teteron tweeter for better sound production without being too harsh or are silk tweeters still better?

Which one would yall pick if using stock mounting locations for best sound stage. Ill be feeding about atkeast 150 watts rms to the either component.

I am probably going to be ordering a set of RS speakers shortly.. Actually going to be building a full kicker system shortly. Subs, Amps, Speakers..

If go with Polk I have done a full kicker system and wassent all that impressed. I'm doing Polk in the z :)

What kind of kicker comp. Did you have? Why were you not impressed?

I heard the quality of the RS were actually better the QS which are $100 more. Apparently the QS uses a different type of material that is a little too high pitched for some peoples likings..

I have owned the Polks in the past, and they were ok, Nothing too spectacular, but they have a good sound. If SQ is your goal, do not buy Kicker components. Trust me.

X2 with Ron stay far far away from kicker components they are loud and have no SQ to them

I don't get it
 

How much H.P. gain can I get???

Just No...

Thats exactly what I was thinking. I knew kicker would get loud but i wondered if there was any sound quality. Thanks for the heads up.

Looks like i might have to spend another $100 to get image dybamics cxs64 v2s for sound quality. The polk mm's seems like the only viable sound quality option for $200.

Had Polk DXI6500's and had good luck with them in the past...
