wooow

i suppossed that those MM are the momos?

[MacLeod]

Or Mobile Monitors. That was the original MM line.

Those amps look pretty sharp! I cant wait to see the specs on them.

[1996blackmax]

I remember the Mobile Monitor line. I ran a set of the 6.5 components in my car for a while :).

[Kinetic]

better than SRs?

[Topper]

looks awesome :)

[MacLeod]

better than SRs?

No.

The SR's are the best line Polk has ever come out with.

I hope theyre not getting rid of the Momo line. I know a lot of "purists" poo-pooed that line but I always thought they rocked. Not only did they sound and perform excellent but they looked cool as hell as well. Maybe its because I associate Momo more with Ferrari rather than rice.

[black magic]

They look nice and all, but I want to see the specs!

But damn, those amps look hawt.

[PolkThug]

kudos to the amp designers for not making them look riced up.

The MM stuff is the new mobile monitor line. It will slowly be phasing out the MOMO stuff. Does he have any pictures of the GT 500 (old school), I have a few pictures I took of it but I dont want to look through all his pages on this slow ass wireless connection. If not, I'll post some pics up tonight. One of the best looking cars here at CES.

I just checked through and he has more pictures. I saw some new Dyn stuff as well as Eclipse gear, but not the GT500.

By the way, Eclipse came out with what looks to be a nice SQ unit, the CD7200 mkII. I like how they went back to the vacuum fluorescent display. Problem is that they kept the same button layout from the CD7000/CD7100. All the SQ options, PEQ, time alignment, x-over, & 8v preouts. They added a copper chassis, and it's also a dead head. Had the control layout been improved, I would be all over this HU :(.

Late tonight I'll get some pics up. Its 11 and I'm wasting time trying to upload pics with starbucks crappy internet b/c the hotel's internet is $13/day. Gay.

Will check back later...

Those are looking good. Polk just keeps bringing it.

is it really eclipse a lot better than Alpine?
when i buy my Alpine 9887 my friends told me that any eclipse would eat my alpine 9887...

[eloplayspolo]

im sure if u ask an installer.... like i have in the past they tell me that if u hold an eclipse u can really tell that its quality stuff. eclipse is fujitsu 10 and at one time Sony executives wanted only fujitsu 10 stereos in their cars... .they can have anything in the world.... thats gotta tell u something...

The top offerings from Eclipse have been better than Alpine for a while as far as SQ goes. Will they eat your CDA-9887, probably not. I've had the top three units from Eclipse before the CD7100....the CD8454, CD8455, and the CD7000. I say this because when it comes to tuning these HU's have been more flexible than their Alpine counterparts. I would have to say though, that ease of use has to go to Alpine. In recent years I've had a couple of CDA-7998's, a CDA-9835, and now the CDA-9887. I believe that ease of use in a moving vehicle is a very important thing, reason I went back to Alpine. Had this new unit from Eclipse not had the same control layout as the CD7000, I would pick one up as soon as they would become available.

The 9887 is a nice HU and I highly recommend it. I will be using the Imprint kit with it very soon.

yeah im also looking for the imprint module, i cant wait to have it, and that should be a big difference, but since i recently buy the SR Sub and the PDX-1.1000 amp i will be a little short of money for a few months.

when you buy it, please tell us what do you think about it.

[1996blackmax]

will do....

[Aimen RG]

interesting.

[exalted512]

Sorry it took so long, were coming back today and I just havent had time. Here you go:




I tried to meet Thom but everytime I was at the Polk booth he wasnt there...I think he was avoiding me :(

[Nitewing911]

Does anybody know when the release date for the new Polk amps will be?

[audiobliss]

Wow, that is AWESOME! Having a REAL GT500 there, and mostly stock from what I can tell, instead of some new-fangled contraption with fiberglass out the ying-yang!

Sweeeeet!!

They did the same thing at Polkfest '05. They ran down to Atlanta rather than meet me and John. Not that I blame them, I wouldnt want to meet us either!

Hi Mc, sorry but whats the polk fest?

and where can i find more info about it?

thanks, and sorry if its a dumb question

[MacLeod]

Polkfest is a once a year get-together for forum members. Usually its at a member's house but every once in a while Polk opens up its HQ to us bozos and gives us tours of the facility and demos of new and current gear. Its just about the coolest thing Ive ever done. The last one was September 2005 which was an absolute blast. This years Polkfest is going to be held at Polk HQ I believe.
