Have you heard Polk/MOMO subs?
I just wanted to know people's thoughts on the Polk/MOMO subwoofers. I've never had a chance to hear em so i just wanted to know if they were worth the money you pay for them and what are the best kinds of subs?

I haven't heard them but I think they are a waste of money. They are a fairly basic subwoofer with flashy cosmetics. Unless you have a MOMO fetish or something.
There are better subs out there for less money....that still look great if that's what you are going for.
My personal fav is the Cerwin-Vega IT series.
Also worth considering (what I considered when I was shopping...)
Eclipse 87-series (black mica cone, basket looks similar to the momo)
Pioneer Premier pro
Kicker L7/L5
Crystal CMP
Image Dynamics IDQ
JL W3v2
XTANT hexagon sub
obviously I ended up with a Vega IT-12.0 because of the price (the price I got it for at least )

I listened to some of their subs at NOPI here in Atlanta a couple weeks ago, and it didn't sound that bad. But there were tons of other cars blaring in the background along with cars burning out, so you couldn't listen to it alone.

The basic Kenwoods are alright but I would go with the new Excelon's if you want Kenwood.
I'm an SQ fan myself (I go with sealed) but it's always fun to test out a new design for SPL (personal bragging rights: first SPL box I did for 1 12" did 143.3db from 300 watts rms in a Civic)
It is definitely possible to make lower-end equipment sound pretty good with the right tuning and design.

eDesign Rocks
I have to agree with Blue on this one. I finally got my eDesign sub (single 12") installed today and its awesome. I listened to just about everything in several places around here, Circuit City, Good Guys, and 2 local shops and the eDesign sounds better then everythign I looked at in my price range (under $200).

I have heard the Polk MOMO subs, they sound ok, but they wouldn't be my first choice. I am ordering new subs right now actually, I am getting the Fosgate RFD2212 Punch HX2. Personally i would go with either fosgate or MTX subs, but thats just me.
