About the Polk Audio MMC6500
Powerfully deep bass and crisp, soaring highs; that's the dynamic combination you're looking for from a serious component system. Look no further! The MMC6500, brought to you by Polk/MOMO, meets your auditory expectations, while maintaining a sleek formula-car racing look.
Revel in the distinct low mids and penetrating bass produced by the woven carbon fiber woofers, and bask in the detailed upper mids and highs delivered by liquid-cooled silk/polymer composite dome tweeters. The tweeter's neodymium magnet saves precious space without compromising sound quality and you can swivel the tweeter up to 15° for exceptional imaging.
The woofer's cast aluminum basket eliminates disturbing resonance. Durable rubber surrounds keep your system rockin' for years to come. And you don't have to limit these speaker systems to your car they've passed tough environmental testing that certifies them for marine use as well.

Specifications Note
Dynamic Balance: Dynamic Balance is a proprietary Polk Audio technology using laser imaging to determine what combination of speaker materials create the least amount of resonance. Eliminating resonance in speakers results in a wide, smooth response and low distortion.
Marine Certified Woofers: Polk/MOMO Series speakers are built to withstand exposure to moisture and UV rays, so they work well in boats and cars.
Lacquered Carbon-fiber Woofers: The lacquered carbon-fiber cones provide the ideal balance of stiffness and low mass for the clearest, most detailed midrange performance, and lowest distortion, of any speaker in its class.
Rubber Surrounds: The airtight rubber surrounds stand up to moisture, sunlight and extreme temperatures while allowing long excursion linear motion and years of reliable use.
Cast Aluminum Baskets: Each speaker has a channel-vented, acoustically inert cast aluminum basket for superior stiffness and better heat dissipation.
1" Kapton Voice Coils and Formers: Laser-based, Klippel-optimized, channel-vented 2-Layer 1" Kapton voice coils and formers offer high heat dissipation and extreme power handling.
NOMEX Spiders: The strong, fire-retardant flat NOMEX spiders allow extended linear motion while providing highly reliable mechanical and thermal stability.
ABS Magnet Boots: Each woofer features a waterproof, anti-resonant ABS magnet boot, which is removable for installation flexibility. With the magnet boots installed, each speaker has the following dimensions:
- Magnet Diameter: 3.717"
- Depth as top: 2.672"
ABS Spacer Rings: In many Honda Accords and Civics, the supplied ABS spacer rings can be used to replace the factory mounting cups. Also, the rings can be used to fit the woofers in a variety of import and domestic vehicles that accept 6-1/2" speakers, but have shallow mounting locations; the rings do not have a standard bolt pattern, so you may have to drill new mounting holes to use them in your vehicle. When used with the spacer rings, the woofers have the following dimensions:
Vehicle Fit:
- Top Mount Depth (with magnet boot removed): 1.676"
- Mounting Height: 1.109"
- Flange Height: 0.951"
Basket Dimensions:
- Cutout Diameter: 4.892"
- Frame Width: 6.296"
- Frame Length: 6.296"
Bolt Pattern:
- Number of Holes: 4
- Perimeter 1: 3.328"
- Perimeter 2: 5.348"
- Diagonal 1: 6.721"
- Diagonal 2: 6.721"
Silk/Polymer Composite Tweeters: The 1" liquid-cooled, silk/polymer composite tweeters provide clear, detailed highs.
Marine Certified Tweeters: Polk/MOMO Series speakers are built to withstand exposure to moisture and UV rays, so they work well in boats and cars.
Mounting: The supplied mounting cups allow you to surface- or flush-mount the tweeters. In both mounting configurations, the tweeters can be pivoted to "aim" their output for the best high frequency response and soundstaging.
Tweeter Mounting Dimensions:
Surface Mount | Flush Mount | |
---|---|---|
Mounting Height | 1.156" | 0.246" |
Depth | 0.645" (screw depth) | 1.107" |
Frame Diameter | 2.059" | 2.505" |
Cutout Diameter | N/A | 2.157" |
2-way Crossovers: The included crossovers include a 12 dB/octave, 2600 Hz high-pass filter for the tweeters and a 12 dB/octave, 2600 Hz low-pass filter for the woofers.
Bi-amp Inputs: The crossovers allow each woofer and tweeter to be powered by separate channels of amplification. A switch on each crossover lets you choose Single input or Dual input mode. In Single input mode, one channel of amplification is used to power the woofer and tweeter together. In Dual input mode, separate channels of amplification are used to power the woofer and tweeter.
Selectable Tweeter Output Level: Each crossover has a 3-position switch that allows you to select the tweeter output level according to system requirements and personal preference. The switches may be set to "-6 dB", "-3 dB" or "0 dB".
Crossover Mounting: There are 2 mounting holes in the base of each crossover; screws to mount the crossovers are not supplied. The crossovers are not weather proof, so they should not be mounted in locations, such as door panels, that will expose them to direct contact with water.
Crossover Terminals: The crossover terminals are nickel-plated.
Crossover Dimensions: L=6.031", W=3.614", H=1.466"
ABS Magnet Boots: Each woofer features a waterproof, anti-resonant ABS magnet boot, which is removable for installation flexibility. With the magnet boots installed, each speaker has the following dimensions:
- Magnet Diameter: 3.717"
- Depth as top: 2.672"

I swapped out some so called 600 watt speakers for these in my '05 S2000, and the difference was truly exceptional! The quality and clarity are amazing and they simply rock! Highly recommended!!
