When you want more wiring options to get the most performance from your subwoofer, check out our dual voice coil MM840 8-inch subwoofer. It’s the same easy-to-install compact size as the single voice coil. And it has all the MM signature features: carbon composite baskets, powerful motor structures with oversized voice coils. The MM840 punches out real tight, real serious bass, the kind usually found only in the most expensive systems. With 250 Watts continuous/500 Watts peak power handling, we recommend the MM840 for small sealed (.35 cubic foot) enclosures.
Designed to Perform
Introducing the new MM840 high performance 8-inch subwoofer. Great for big bass without taking up much space. As a result of 3 years of Polk research and development, the new MM systems have been designed to offer unparalleled sound quality with exceptional fit to meet virtually any application. Borrowing technology from our flagship SR Series, the MM Series offers exceptional value for the price. Through the use of high-tech carbon composite baskets, powerful neodymium motor structures using oversized voice coils, and state-of-the-art woven glass composite cones, we offer high-end audio performance normally found only in the most expensive loudspeaker systems.
MM840DVC Features:
With 250 Watts continuous/500 Watts peak power handling, the MM840 is recommended for small sealed (.35 cubic foot) enclosures.
New polymer woofer cones and butyl rubber surrounds will not break down over time and will survive the rigors of harsh automotive environments.
High temperature copper voice coil (51mm) and polyamide former withstands the most rigorous use while maintaining extremely low distortion for bass punch and output.
Heavy duty input terminals accommodate speaker wire up to 8 AWG or twisted pairs of 12 AWG.
Advanced carbon composite basket based on the spokes of a wheel is lightweight, will not flex during peaks and looks great! Don’t be afraid to show off the back of your woofer.
Klippel optimized components using a state-of-the-art Klippel distortion analyzer, Polk engineers were able to optimize the woofer’s motor structure, voice coil alignment and suspension for the best possible performance, even at extreme listening levels.
Available matching grille complement the wheel spoke design.
Single voice coil configuration (MM840) also available.

127 out of 187 people found this review helpful.Strengths:
Small size (8 inches) doesn't dominate all the space in the rear of my Bronco. Polk web site also had plenty of plans to build any size/type of enclosure you desire. Speaker/Box combination covers a wide audio range up to 1,000hz (used my signal generator). Matches well to the PA400.1 monoblock amplifier (mounted right on the side of the box that I built [MM2084]). I recommend this path to anyone handy with basic carpentry (to build the box) and wiring skills. And if you have a friend to do this for you . . .
Weaknesses:
Only been using it for 3 weeks (the one in the Bronco) and 1 week (the one in the house). Haven't experienced any downside thus far.
Review:
I was looking for a smaller subwoofer with a wider range. The polk site included plans for subwoofer boxes. I opted for a ported box with a wide range (MM2084) and got the response desired. Connected the speaker to a PA400.1 which mounted right on the side of the subwoofer box I built. Response is perfect without overbearing boominess I hear from other passing cars and trucks. I made the mistake of connecting the completed speaker/box to my home entertainment system prior to installing it in my truck. It was so much better than that other subwoofer that I had to go out and buy another speaker and build another box for in house use. Thus I actually have two of these speakers!! Adds a lot to the overall listening experience of CD's & DVD's!!!
