Default Pn4.520 and MM651's

I've been away from the forum for a while, famiily probs.
I have a Deadcentercycles batwing on my Softail , and after doing some research on here a few years ago I bought a pair of MM651 speakers and a SS PN4. 520 , but thats as far as I got, they have sat in their boxes ever since !
My plan was to bridge the channels, good idea? or not .
My point of the the post was to ask for any tips or pointers in fitting them ,
maybe someone has done a how to guide ?
When ive done it I then intend on swapping the headunit out, it has a sony CD unit fitted, with a usb , only ever use the usb, so figured on some kind of media player

Not sure how long ago you bought the MM651's and I'm not sure when Polk fixed the problem, but....

I had MM651's and the tweeter stalk melted. At the time lots of people had started to report the same thing.
Maybe it doesn't get hot enough there for it to mater?

You probably can't return them but maybe use them in a car or sell them?

thanks for the reply . got them in 2013 I'm in the UK so had to import them . I'm sure they weren't a new model when I bought them . and there were no bad reports on them at the time

You won't be able to bridge that amp to those speakers. It's only 4ohm compatible in bridged mode.

You won't need to bridge them anyway, it'll be plenty loud

My amp is really big, but I velcroed a piece of 1x4 to my head unit then velcroed my amp on top of that. You'll need some 6.5 speaker adapter rings as well.
