Hit's that low bass which is what im really looking for.... Concrete Pumping

Nothing weakness found.

Hard hitting quads and Great deep lows!!!

Not any that I have noticed.

Stop hating on the momo! I have 2 12s and wouldnt have any other speaker. I've been into subs and amps since a kid. The 2 momos i have are run on a 1200watt pioneer monoblock. Out of all the subs i've been through I would'nt go back yo them. Polk MOMO has the deepest bass i've heard from any subwoofer. Kicker, Orion, Memphis, and Audiobahn, I've been thru them all. none of them have done what these polk MOMOs have done, and thats beat hard. Really thinking about adding two more to my trunk and go with the polk mono block amps! Again the hardest hitting 12in. that you can buy... Give them the juice they can take it. Trust me. They love the monoblock amps!

best looking sub I have seen so far...the cap on the front excels it

not what I would call incredible sq...spl is reasonable but it should be for it's cost

I have not owned these subs but I have heard them and I do not think they are anything special for the price you pay...2 of the 12"s pounded pretty good but I think the sound quality wasn't too great either...however the next year's model is better...

Awsome punch SQ and Volume level - I give JL audio props too for some dual voice coils the w6v2's made me cover my ears too. I don't anymore because i am half deph and can't hear anything.

Like I said 15 to 20 hz range - no distortion at all though.

Okay why are so many people talking trash about these??? These subs may not cover the freq they say they do but they sound very good for general listening. My friend has 2 Alpine 12's and two MOMOs already blow them away. I clocked in at 142's with 2 off my eclipse amp (34230) amazing amp - What is really funny is how badly I am underpowering these subs. The eclipse puts out 370 RMS per channel and 550 peak at 4 ohms. I have my gain at about 75 percent (yea a little heat but awsome SQ and power level) I think these subs do get pretty low overall but the alpines don't have the same punch nearly - OOOOOOOOhhhhhhh double layered nomax spiders and tight butyl surrounds that makes alpines amazing... NO! If you study the proper way a sub should be manufactured for superior SQ AND volume level you would know that dual nomax spiders only cause problems for you. What polk audio did with this sub is actually take a simple design and soop it up. They took the basis of a medium linear design and gave it some really good materials. I will be running 4 of these of 2 crossfire 2000D's soon. I know someone that actually had a setup very close to that and he is touching somewhere around 154 db's. He had eclipse's new 4000 watt amp though :) Crossfire is under rated for power so this should most likely be in the same volume range based on the design of my car. I drive a small car called a paseo and I actually have really strage sound staging. Once you get it right though it is incredibly loud. These subs are amazing of a clean amp at 4 or 2 ohms and in a sealed enclosure. Alpines look and sound like fairy subs underpowered too. MOMOs eat up watever power they can get and almost always sound good.(starting at about 200 - 250 watts)

Iv'e use just JL audio subs for years, and this sub is comperable to almost any model they have put out. The ony thing that I have heard that hits harder or more accurately is their 12w6v2 (they cost considerably more when all is said and done). In terms of looks these are great looking subs and the custom enclosure won't take up your entire trunk. I won't say these are the best subs but they are damn impressive.

Price, and they are obviously crappy subs!!

I bought a Polk Momo subwoofer less than a year ago, and it already broke!! The cone and everything is still in contact, but the spider (or something within the sub) is broken!! Unbelievable!! I was powering it with an MTX bluethunder pro 75x2 amp, and the Polk is supposed to handle a ton of watts--It certainly doesn't!!! Piece of CRAP!!!! Seriously stay away from these over-priced, underperforming subs!!

it looks good that about it. polk has a very good marketing department.

it barley hits, there is very lil to no low frequency response. the sq is average.

Well Polk showed what good marketing can do. It can sell a barely above average subwoofer at a very above average price. These subs are highly overrated. The price for these things come on, I got two eclipse aluminums for less than its costs for a a pair of momos, and they absolutely stomp on the polks. I know a few people who work at CIRC%$& ci^y and I asked them what all the hype was about they told me " I have no idea, its just a sub" plus they have alpine r and MTX 8000 in there car. Why would they get those subs if the polk was so deadly. All I can say is dont believe the hype. There are plenty of subs that would make the momo cry at less of a price.

they're weaker than 1 12" Nakamichi

My single 12" Nakamichi sp-120 bumps harder than two of my friends momo's, with jbl 500/1's supplying the power.

A little loud between 40-70hz. Looks pretty(this is car audio not home decorating).

Where to begin?? DOES NOT HIT LOW..........I REPEAT, DOES NOT HIT LoW!!!! Single voice coil design gives no wiring flexibility. Sounds muddy, cant handle more than what its rated at even though Polk's website says its better to give a speaker more power than less power(which is true with any other speaker than the Momo). My sister's voice sounds lower. Polk sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........considering they only specialize in speakers; the speaker specialist my ass.

I think this sub was specced out with just a bunch of bullsh*t. Respone down to 20 hz, in its dreams. The true response which i discovered using my Bass Mekanik cd is around 30 hz, which the sub still doesnt play reasonably loud. I had 2 of them wired in parallel enclosed in the box it came with powered by an MTX 81000D. Both of them blew and the entire box filled with smoke, which made my car smell like the worst stench in the world (burning voice coils are definitely not cool). I was extremely pissed after this happened, i was truely stunned. I had a lot of faith in this "500 w" $350 dollar sub which i luckily got for its true value of $99 through employee discount at my work. After this i bought 2 Alpine Type R's and but em in a dual 12'' sealed box. After i heard them, i almost cried at how low it hit. The Type R's blew the Momo's out of the water. Type R's are rated 300w RMS and Momos at 500w RMS, and i sent more power to the Type R's than i did to the Momos and they just sucked it up like a dying man in a desert. Type R by itself, now $159 at customer price for sub alone, Momo for 12'' by itself, $249.....I dont think so. I am really pissed off at Polk for evening manufacturing a sub like this, i wouldnt be as mad if the specs were actually true because then i wouldnt have bought em. This isnt the worst sub I've heard, but if u are looking for something that hits low, look elsewhere when u consider the Momo. It's not even the lows, the Type R's was sounded cleaner, tighter, and more likelike; the Momo is basically a sub that only knows how to play 40-70 hz and thats all. Now to the point of Polk's "technicians." I emailed polk saying that i played pink noise through the sub to break it in a little and then it blew and this is what they said: Hello Jeff, Thanks for contacting us. I believe you made one fairly serious mistake, you can't use steady pink noise at those high levels. The results are excessive heat which is going to damage both the speakers, enclosure and potentially your car. Speakers, anybody's speakers, produce heat as they generate sound, in fact a speaker is a more efficient heat generator than it is a sound producer. An engineer once described a speaker as, "a heater that happens to produce sound", meaning that mechanical friction produced by a moving coil inside a voice coil gap is a very efficient way of making heat. If you were, in fact, producing more than 400 Watts of energy, that is equal to over one half a horsepower, allot of power, correct? The difference is that the nature of the steady state pink noise is completely different than what happens when playing music. Music is completely random, constantly changing, never asking for peak levels for more than a 1/4 of a second. There isn't the chance for building up the tremendous potential for heat, like thesteady pink noise you were using. .......is that the biggest bunch of bullsh*t ever. Now the subwoofer producing a lot of heat is true, but that other crap he told me is just ridiculous, do they think I'm stupid? Simply i am very mad at Polk for making the Momo sound like it can take out any other sub(i serously heard a Sony 12'' Explod(pathetic) hit lower than the Momo, no joke hahahahaha) and also mad for the completely absurd email they sent me. I dont know what they were shooting for when they made this sub because it doesnt stand above most subs in SPL AND SQ, especially at $350, you are only paying for what u pay for when u shop at Abercrombie...................the name(MOMO).
