Polk Audio MMC5250 component car speakers

Date Published: 6/19/06

Polk Audio's speakers have always been held in the highest regard, and the MMC5250 two-way component car speakers certainly live up to this reputation. To attest to their durability, the MMC5250 speakers are marine-certified. If they can withstand the torturous condition on the open water, you know they'll hold up well in your vehicle.

A member of the Polk/MOMO High Performance Car Audio series, the MMC5250 package consists of a pair of 5-1/4-inch woofers, a separate pair of 1-inch tweeters, and an external crossover. The woofers utilize ultra-durable carbon fiber cones that are both lightweight and stiff, creating a fast response time with minimal distortion. The silk/polymer composite dome tweeters are liquid cooled for optimal operation, and they can be swiveled up to 15 degrees for precise imaging. The tweeters can be surface or flush mounted, and both types of housing are supplied.

The MMC5250's external crossover is a second-order 2,600Hz high- and low-pass filter. The overall frequency response of the package is 53Hz to 25,000Hz at 4 ohms, with a sensitivity of 89dB. The recommended continuous power ceiling is 100 watts, with a 200-watt peak.

Nearly every feature contributes to the MMC5250's durability, such as the airtight rubber surround that's resistant to moisture, heat, and sunlight. The cast aluminum baskets are even rustproof. The MMC5250 is a great component speaker system that combines durability with excellent audio performance.
