Default Polk MM6501 anyone?

I was looking around and found these online, Sonic has them for 199. They advised that they are 94db sen. Anyone have any reviews on them. I read a few reviews and they sounded good.

Wanted the opinions of Corvette forum sound gods.

Not a sound god by any means...but FWIW, I have MM 6501s in the doors of my ZO6. Powered by an Alpine PDX-5. Also put some MM 5 1/4s in the back (waste of time and money). MM 10" sub in JL stealthbox style enclosure (think it's a madvettes). I think they sound OK, but my hearing is shot from 5000 hours in an Apache helicopter. Going to bridge the 4 75w channels into 2 this weekend and see if I like it better. For the money I spent, I like them. I thought this might have been a for sale thread, and was going to jump on them for the wifes vert.

I had the db series 6501's in my C6 for over a year and liked them much better than the Sony coaxials I had in the C5. From what I've read, MM's are a noticeable improvement over db series.

Right now I have CDT components and absolutely love them, check out the scratch & dent section of their web site for some amazing deals.

I got the CL-E61CF for $160 shipped The only obvious signs they weren't new were a few minor scratches where screws were used to mount the 6" drivers.
