Polk/MOMO MM Subwoofers

•Four Single Voice Coil (SVC) Subs: 8" (MM2084), 10" (MM2104), 12" (MM2124) & 15" (MM2154).

•Ultra-stiff Metallized ABS Dynamic Balance Cone for massive bass.

•Dish Cone design is supported by a Vented Cone Coupler, increasing axial rigidity.

•State-of-the-art laser-based Klippel measurement tech- nology perfectly centers the subwoofer’s voice coil in the magnetic field, improving X-max and BL linearity, and the sub’s micro and macro dynamics, for deep, precise, stomach-shaking and spine-wrenching bass.

•Optimized for high performance in small sealed enclosures but versatile enough to pound hard even in bandpass and vented enclosures—Flat, deep bass with great extension as only Polk/MOMO can do it.

•Built tough and backed by the best warranty in the car audio world: Three years parts and labor.

•Durable, airtight Rubber Surround for a long life of exten- ded linear motion, optimized to achieve the longest throw possible for the cone: “Big cone, big throw!”

•Huge, fire-retardant flat NOMEX® Spider allows exten- ded linear motion while providing highly reliable mechanical stability.

•Acoustically inert Stamped Steel Basket with massive, rock-solid non-flexing magnet and motor assembly, Anti- Resonance Trim Gasket and removable Rubber Magnet Boot for more damping and deeper install flexibility.

•Triple vented for maximum airflow, high heat dissipation and high power handling: Vented Coil/Cone Coupler, Vented Spider Platform and Vented Pole Piece all allow cooling air to freely flow over the heat-generating components and better harness all the watts your amp can dish out.

•Professional Grade Nickel Plated Locking Push Terminals for secure connections; big holes accept nice fat wire, big as 12 gauge! Dual connections on DVC models.

•Optional MOMO Design “Quasar II” rim-style Grille available separately at your authorized Polk Audio AutoSound dealer, or at www.shop.polkaudio.com.

Getting Started

Please inspect your loudspeaker(s) carefully. Notify your Polk Audio dealer if you notice any damage or missing items. Keep the carton and packing material; this will do the best job of protecting your speaker(s) if they must be transported.

Safe Limits Of Operation

Your Polk Audio Loudspeakers are constructed of the highest quality materials for years of trouble-free performance. However, damage to loudspeakers can occur when an ampli- fier, regardless of its wattage, is made to play at higher lis- tening levels than its power can clearly produce. This is usu- ally beyond the “12 or 1 o’clock” position on the volume con- trol. Operation at this level can result in very high levels of audible distortion originating in the amplifier, which can add a harsh, gritty sound to your listening material. If you hear distortion—turn it down! Contrary to popular belief, a speaker is more likely to be damaged by trying to get too much volume from a low-powered amplifier or receiver than from a high-powered one.

Technical Assistance or Service

If, after following the hookup directions, you experience dif- ficulty, please double-check all wire connections. Should you isolate the problem to the speaker, contact the authorized Polk Audio dealer where you made your purchase, or contact Polk Audio Customer Service at 800-377-7655 (M-F, 9-6 EST, US and Canada only) or via email polkcs@polkaudio.com. Outside the US and Canada, call 410-358-3600.

Amplifier Power Requirements

For Polk/MOMO Subwoofers

Using one subwoofer, we recommend an amplifier with a power rating of at least 200 watts into 4 Ohms (x1 in bridged mode). If you have a noisy car or intend to play your system at loud listening levels (or, you really wanna pound), more power will be necessary to achieve the best performance. More power is always good.

Polk/MOMO’s Carbon Series of High Power Amplifiers make great companions for these subwoofers. The Carbon Series is competition quality; three super powerful compact amps built to deliver more watts per dollar no matter what your amplification needs. There’s a bridgeable 4-channel model, a bridgeable Stereo model, and a Mono amp for dedicated subwoofer amplification. Each model features the exclusive Polk/MOMO Pre-EQ Switch, which optimizes the crossovers for use with Polk/MOMO Ultra High Performance Speakers and Subwoofers. Match up your components and your speakers, and you can’t get better optimized performance.
