I am looking into gettin a set of 5 1/4" components for my front door speakers. I am looking at either the Polk Momo Carbon MMC5250 or an eclipse set that is 5 1/4" I cant remember the number off hand. So I was wondering if anyone could tell me which is better for clarity. I am gonna have either one hooked to an amp so it doesnt matter about that i just need to know which sounds better. So if you have either one let me know and even if you dont and have heard them let me know. It is greatly appreciated.

The name of the eclipses would be helpful.

I really like my Polk Momo stuff. It's a shame to hide it behind the factory speaker grills.

It's so pretty and sounds good too.



...but virtually everyone else is going to say Eclipse.

Looks are important but if it looks good and sounds like s**t whats the point?

If you are worried how they sound, look into rainbow or cdt. Twice the components. Twice the sound less money

You dont need to do that because i have heard the polks at a local custom shop cause they had some instock but where i would get the eclipses from doesnt thats why i was wanting to know if anyone had some eclipse components and how they sounded.
