sr6500's

[05LegacyGT]

Hey all, i'm new to the forum and this is my first post. I'm thinking about getting 2 pairs of the 6.5" sr6500's w/ a 4 channel polk amp to run in my '05 Legacy GT Limited. From the limited material i was able to find on these speakers, the sr6500's seem amazing.

I'm really only concerned with sound quality, but i need to know if anyone owns these speakers or has even heard them. I'd probably go with the mmc5250 if they'd fit in my doors, but no luck :( Any information would be greatly appreciated. My backup option if i am unable to thoroughly research the sr6500's is the db6500's. What does everyone think of them?

I appreciate any input.

They seem like it don't they?

if you get the SR 6.5"s how do you figure the 5250's won't fit? hmmm depth? db's are great speakers however buy the SR's I'm sure you will be fine.

[neomagus00]

i'm not entirely sure the SR series is in production yet. they're intended to be polk's absolute best car offering ever, and as a proud owner of their mm6 i can say with confidence that that means a great deal. if you can stand it, i'd say wait for the SRs - it'll be well worth it.

and if they're out already and i've somehow missed the announcement - buy them, enjoy them, and after you've changed your pants come tell us how they sounded :)

[Thom]

The SR6500's are in our warehouse, and soon to be released to dealers. Tweeter should have a bunch, and whatever independants that order them.

[05LegacyGT]

Yeah, i'm worried about the depth, I've looked into the db6500's and they will fit with a small spacer ring, but barely.

When you say soon, do you mean within the next week or within the next few months? I have a window of about 2 more weeks to make my purchase and if I can't get the sr6500's i'll have to go with the db's. Thanks for the info

[Thom]

I would think within the next couple weeks, depending on where you are. If you're near a Tweeter ask them, they may have some in their warehouse already. If you're near another dealer of ours, ask them to call and see if they can order them yet.

[ND13]

When did these become available? Damnit, I thought I had got the top of the line Polk components with the MMC6500s.

[Jstas]

Dude, they are 3 times the price of what you can get the MMC's for. The MMC's are nice speakers. I installed a set into amulford's truck for him and they served to greatly impress. I wouldn't worry about it unless you want to uninstall and reinstall everything.

Oh don't worry, just had never heard about them. The MMCs get better every hour and every day.

[Jstas]

Yeah, amulford said he could hear audible differences as they broke in. They should be good and broken in by now so they should be sounding pretty sweet. The MMC coaxials I put in a friend's Jeep sound incredible after the finally broke in.

I figure about 60-80 hours of breakin with varying musical genres and varying volume levels should be about right. So far with about 2 hours a day in my truck, I'd say I'm about half way there.

[PolkThug]

If you ever get tired of the MMC component speakers, you can upgrade to the popular Ring Radiator Tweeter for about $107 a set from any Vifa distributor.

Is it a pop in replacement for the one that came with?

[Jstas]

The SR6500's come with the ring radiator tweeters and a better mid-range than what is in the MMC component set. It's better at least from a specs point of view. I haven't heard them yet.

The Vifa tweeter is made with the same technology but I do not believe that it is a 1 inch tweeter but rather a 1.5 inch tweeter. The MMC's have a 1 inch tweeter. The SR6500's have a 1.5 inch tweeter.

All the specs are on the site here. Just gotta look under the Car Audio section.

You need to read more carefully, look again. :)

Edit: In one place it's an inch and a half, in another its 22mm (which is less than an inch)

"22mm Ring Radiator Tweeter "

or

"Tweeter 1 - 1-1/2" Diameter (3.81cm)"

[Jstas]

http://www.polkaudio.com/car/specs.php?name=sr6500

Says right there:

Driver Complement
Mid/Woofer 1 - 6-1/2" Diameter (16.51cm)
Tweeter 1 - 1-1/2" Diameter (3.81cm)


That ONE, count'em, ONE 1.5 inch tweeter.



Here is teh MMC6500

http://www.polkaudio.com/car/specs.php?name=mmc6500

Driver Complement
Mid/Woofer 1 - 6-1/2" Diameter (16.51cm)

22mm is the size of the driver surface not the actual size of the driver itself including mounting flanges and stuff.

You could stick a flange on it 6" in diameter, but its still a "22mm Ring Radiator Tweeter" no matter what size chunk of plastic its mounted on, IMO.

[Jstas]

But you are missing the point. He asked "Is this a drop in replacement for the MMC" or something close to that and it isn't a drop in replacement. The size of the driver and it's mounting assembly is too large to fit a hole cut for the MMC tweeter.

[ND13]

Yeah, I just wanted to know if it would fit where the MMC tweeter is and if it would hook up to the MMC crossover with no issues.

[Jstas]

I don't think the crossovers would work either. The MMC has a 2nd order crossover with a 2.6 kHz crossover point. The SRs have a crossover point at 3100 Hz but no more info on the crossover. Just the crossover point salone, I don't thin the SR tweeter would work well in the MMC set and x-over.


Sorry, the SR has a 2nd Order Low Pass Filter and a 3rd Order High Pass Filter. Decidedly different crossover.

[PolkThug]

It probably won't snap in to the pod that comes with the MMC. No clue on the crossover.

[neomagus00]

the mmc xover is tuned specifically for the mmc speakers, and ditto for the sr xover... you MIGHT not blow anything up if you mixed them, but i wouldn't count on it sounding good... now, biamping, on the other hand, that'd be a good thing to do...

and i agree, not likely to be an easy drop-in replacement...

[PolkThug]

Actually, I think if someone were to use the vifa for the MMC combo, the x-over would be just fine (assuming the polk tweet is 4ohm). The ring radiators are flat all the way down to 800hz. I can't imagine it sounding worse. I think in this case, the crossover point is set more on the limitations of the mid-driver.

Suppose I could buy one for the sake of "audio science" and try it out.

[Jstas]

I don't know. There is alot more to it in a car. You don't have control over the enclosure design as much as you do for a home speaker and the MMC has a very different tweeter. Also, the ring radiator tweeter is very directional and having it cut off at 2600 rather than 3100 Hz might show some limitations of the setup and emphasize them. Especially since the midrange and tweeter would not be very well voice matched.

Also, the crossovers are very differe. The MMC is a second order 2-way while the SR is a 2nd order 2 way with a 3rd order high pass to make it a bandpass 2-way. That is a different beast and probably done so to reduce the directional tendencies of the ring radiator tweeter whihce would not be very desireable in a car where reflective surfaces are a hinderance more than a help.


Also, I think you should buy a set for teh sake of audio science and then sell them to me when you are done! I'll give you a fair "used" price for them! ;) :p

The SR crossovers have a 2nd order low pass for the mid, and a third order high pass for the tweeter. Neither driver is bandpassed.

These ring radiators are not the same driver as the ones used in the Lsi home speakers. They work much better in a car. I put in some Lsi home tweeters in my Protege years ago and they are very directional and needed quite a bit of EQ (partly because of firing into the windshield). Plus they were so big they didn't leave many spots to put them. The new, smaller ring radiator works well off- axis (as good as the carbon series tweeter), at least in the kick panels of my Civic, and the doors of my boss's WRX, and the other few installs we've done so far. And they're much easier to mount.

The mounting of the SR tweeter and the MMC tweeters are very different. The MMC tweeter snaps into a cup, and the SR tweeter has a spider clip and trim ring. When mounted in coax mode they twist to lock into place.

Dude, where were you yesterday when all these questions were being asked? And why doesn't the specs section have better info about the crossover? I thought that it might be the way you explained it but felt that the bandpass idea was more likely to help save cost. Then again, I can only go with the info I have available and that's not a whole lot.

I can't live here and I only check the forums while at work (my home connection is SLOOOOOW).

Because we put info up the second we knew something, and it will be updated shortly with everything.

Our Momo never worked out in CC, so I doubt $750 components would do all that well.

Tweeter will have them, and whatever independant shops that choose to order them. I'm sure a few other regional chains will have them too, but that's not my department.

[Thom]

Originally posted by 05LegacyGT

Go ask your local dealer if he can get them before then. It'll depend on how quickly people order them. My guess is that Tweeter will have them before then, if you're near one ask them.

[MacLeod]

Alright Thom, one last question.

I personally think the swivel tweeter mount is sheer genius! It allowed me to fine tune my image tons better than I could have with a stationary "angle mount" cup.

Sooooo, will the SR's have a swivel mount tweeter? please say yes, please say yes, please say yes

[Thom]

The coax mode gives you two options- straight and angle. The angle posts can be spun in whatever direction works best.

When mounting the tweeter seperately you have straight and angle trim rings. The angle ring is a fixed 15 degree, but you'll want to know where to aim them because the hole required isn't quite a circle.

I'll try to post a picture of everything included, if we don't get it on the official page soon.

[MacLeod]

Ugh! That sucks. That swivel mount made it so easy! Drill 2 small holes and stick it on there and then you can adjust til your little heart's content. :mad:

I kinda figured the SR's wouldnt have this feature as the ring tweeter's design is probably a lot different from the standard Momo tweet.

Im sure itll work out fine. I just liked that you could tweak the aim while driving down the road. It shouldnt be a problem tho, now that Ive already determined which angle works best I can just stick em on there like that.

[Josh]

Also, there will not be a surface mount option. You have to be a real man and cut a hole in your door!:D If you spend some time planning out the system and listening to different loactions, there shouldn't be a need for more than the straight flush mount or the angle flush mount.

[neomagus00]

you have to expect a damn good install to go with speakers that cost as much as these... they just deserve it...

[Jstas]

I'm just going to rebuild the whole interior for mine! When I get them that is. May not be until Christmas though.

[PolkThug]

So, if I cut a hole, should I cut 1 1/2 inches, or 22mm???


:D :D :D

[Jstas]

Cut 22mm holes so I can laugh at you.

Ah hell, I will laugh at you anyway for making such a stupid joke.

Don't worry, just because my head is shaking from side to side doesn't mean I'm not laughing on the inside. At you that is. Because that is what I am doing. Laughing at you. Not with you, AT you.

[PolkThug]

Crap! I cut a 1 1/2" hole, and the driver just fell through it, now its stuck inside my door. :(

[Jstas]

I'm still laughing at you.

Oh, now this sucks is a BIG way!!! Ive tried my tweets in the dash, a-pillars and they work best in the sail panels. Unfortunately there isnt enough room inside the panels to flush mount them. Not to mention my drivers panel fires right into the dash.

A-pillars are out for flulsh mounting as well as they fire directly into the windshield.

This really, really SUCKS! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[Thom]

But this tweeter only has a depth of about 3/4" when mounted in the flat trim ring, so it'll fit in some places that the Momo cups won't.

You'll just have to be creative, and do a little more work. :D

[MacLeod]

But why??

Why couldnt you have just made a surface, swivel mount? Those were just perfect! That way you could aim them perfectly, mount them anywhere and if you sold your truck it was easy to patch those 2 tiny hole!

A mounting depth that small wont be a problem then, just the aiming. Maybe I can go with kick panels.

That surface, swivel mount was just too perfect wasnt it!?!

I feel a whine coming on...........

Only on a plastic panel, if you pop two holes on a vinyl wrapped door panel, you might as well cut one big one and do it right...

[MacLeod]

Well, its not impossible.

With that small a depth, they will fit in my sail panels I just wont be able to aim them the way I want so my imaging will suffer some.

At the least I could mount them in the factory mounting spots which is in the dash. They would be firing into the windshield but they would fit perfectly there.

Plus Ive been toying around with the idea of trying kick panels anyway so this may be a good time.

Where there's a will, there's a way!

[Josh]

Kick it, biznitch! Fibaglizzass!

[neomagus00]

i'm now truly frightened... josh made up a double-z word...

[MacLeod]

I could use those Q Form kick's.

They say some 6.5's will fit in there.

Use those as theyre already the same color and custom fitted then line the back of them with Dynamat. That should take care of them being so flimsy.

I was also looking at my A pillars. If I mounted them low they would fire directly across at each other if I used the angle cup. I may go kicks in the floor and the tweets in the A's.

[Josh]

Won't fit. I gaurantee it.

[MacLeod]

I was afraid of that.

While slangin' beer today I was thinking how I could go about this. Ive read of a couple people that have said to hell with glassing a custom set of kicks and just welded in a steel plate properly angled and mounted their speakers to this. Then they simply use grill cloth to cover it and you dont see nuttin.

My cousin works with steel as a hobby and has plenty of tools so this may be a possibility. Plus I could custom fit them so that I could still use my e-brake.

Im getting excited about this. Ive always wanted to do a competition type install!

Something like this is what is would (hopefully) look like. Totally stealth! Behind the carpet is a Dynaudio tweet and mid.

[exalted512]

im not sure how a good a tweeter would sound behind carpet, even thin carpet...

also you might forget theyre there and someone could step on em or something...
-Cody

[MacLeod]

Yeah, I have thought of that. MY wife like to wear disco shoes with the 6" platforms and I can just see one of those going thru one of my mids!

I probably wont be mounting the tweeters in the kicks. The cab of my truck is so big I think the imaging would be better off with the tweeters in the A-pillars. Probably in the lower portion of the A's.

[neomagus00]

as far as left-right imaging, the further away from your ears you can get the tweets, the better... of course, that can screw up your staging, and make it sound like the singer is entombed in the dash... i tried mine in both the kicks and the dash, and i found that i preferred the loss of imaging and the gain in stage height rather than the other way round... it's worth a shot...

[MacLeod]

That is true, but there are a LOT of SQ competitors that keep the tweets in the kicks.

I guess Ill have to try it in both spots. Im thinking that due to the vastness of my cab putting the tweeters in the kicks may give the best results cause putting them anywhere in the dash will localize the sound to that tweet just like it is doing now.

Funny thing, I was in my moms Sentra a while back and her speakers are low and in front on the doors, nearly to the kicks. I faded out the rears just for curisosity and man that thing had near perfect imaging. The image was dead center in fron of me AND at eye level! But the car is so small you can roll the passenger window down from the drivers seat without leaning over.

[spwuinmk67]

How bout somethin like this (http://www.sounddomain.com/ride/321753/7) Mac? Check out that page and the one after it. That just the guys kick panel construction. Some other the other stuff he did is great too...

[MacLeod]

Yeah, Ive seen that one before. That is some damn fine craftmanship. Im leary of cutting holes in my sheetmetal thought. My kick panel area should be big enough that I wont have to cut anything out.

But there is another SQ guy with the tweeters mounted in the kicks though.

[exalted512]

im tellin ya, tweeters mounted in the kicks in a car is much different that tweeters mounted in the kicks in a truck...
-Cody

[MacLeod]

I know, but with the tweeters in the A's of a truck the distance between the 2 tweets are really skewed since the passenger side is so far away.

With them in the kicks, theyre most equally distant.

I think this would make the stage more centered but the height would suffer. With them in the A's the height would be right but the imaging would suffer.

Plus with all that glass you take a chance on the tweeters being a little harsh.

[exalted512]

glass both the midbass and the tweeter in the a-pillar
-Cody

[MacLeod]

I meant windshield glass. :D

[exalted512]

yea i know, but you said itd seperate them a lot...well, problem solved:p
-Cody

[MacLeod]

John Sketoe has his Accord setup like that. Tweeter and 4" mid in his A pillars and he's won more SQ comps than you can shake a stick at so it is possible.

But I like the kicks for the "stealth" approach. I like not seeing any speakers.

[exalted512]

i thought about it in my truck but it sounded like ass, but i know where youre coming from wanting everything to be stealth. i get kind of scared knowing that everyone in the world can see my tweeters...
-Cody

[neomagus00]

is that like the nightmare where you have to give a speech to a giant crowd in your underwear?

mac - why not give it a shot, it can't hurt... i used pipe clamps (the ones that look roughly like :


_ _
\_/
)
and mounted the clamp to the mid with one screw-hole, then twisted the crap outta the clamp and attached the tweet to the other hole, then bent the thing a bit more to aim it... wasn't pretty, but it got the job done enough for testing...

[MacLeod]

I could maybe even make some kicks out of 1/2" plywood. The area under the dash is huge in my truck so it wouldnt be as tight and cramped as in that Civic.

I want to do it right tho, I dont want to buy a set of $750 speakers and simply slap em in the stock locations. There is nothing wrong with that but these speakers deserve better! ;)

Actually, that's a light bulb which is the tweeter protection. Quart, Alpine, and many others have done it for years. They'll light up when you're driving the system too hard.

It's not colored, so the same white/ yellow as any incandescent bulb in your house, and almost as bright... :D

[neomagus00]

oooh, can you replace it with a coloured bulb?

oh i'm highly jealous of you guys who have these....i didn't realize how easy it is to get a 6.5" in my door until about last week...

[neomagus00]

yeah, i know, but wouldn't it be cool to buy, say, a little blue incandescent bulb and replace the white one with blue? or green or whatever your scheme is...

Nah I'd go with green

[MacLeod]

No it wouldnt be cool cause then it would look like some stupid ricer tuner crap and these SR's are way, way too classy for anything like that.

AND ITS COLORED!!!!

:p

I think you're all missing the point that the light is not SUPPOSED to turn on. It's there for protection. DUH! :D
