Default Which Polk Speakers? Im confused!

Please tell what model Polk Speakers are the ones to get? I'm running the RF300 watt amp with the two J&M's. Im finding they distort very easily as others here have complained. They were definitely better than stock. Now I want the best.
I'm seeing some say 6501 some say 651. Some say they don't care whether they are marine of not, their bike doesn't get wet. I would like as close to 2 ohm as possible. I will be running just two in the fairing with the amp and stock HK.

Please help steer me in the right direction. Please include adapter ring reccomendations also? My J&M's had the 7.25 adapter in the kit.

Thanks In Advance!

MM651

Tweeters are mounted to the woofer. Easy install.

Just ordered the speakers off Amazon "Prime" and the Dragonfly adapters off Ebay. Dragonfly was 29.99. A little less than Amazon's Arc's.

Thanks,

Cliff

Those are the cheapest I've seen the Polk speakers in a while. They were close to $140 when I bought mine.

Dragonfly is better anyway. They just don't have them on Amazon. I got mine off of Ebay too. They are a forum sponsor IIRC.

Cool!

I'm hoping I will notice an improvement over the J&M's I am running now.

I was just thinking, what grills do you use with these MM651's? I threw my stock ones out when I installed the J&M's? I hope I didn't screw myself?

You're going to need your stock ones back, unless you plan on either doing some serious cutting/fitting/glueing with the Polk grilles, or buying aftermarket ones. I have the stock grilles with the HD chrome trim with mine.
