Soundcheck...... Polk/Eclipse

So im thinking about ditching my polkmomo's for some eclipse components and 6x9's. I plan on having a mtx 12" 7500 and at least a 60wx4 amp for my mids and highs. What would give me a better full range of sound? The polks or the eclipses?? Thanks

I have polkMOMO components and 6x9s, amped by an Alpine 100x4 @14.4, I think its about 80x4 @ 12. MRV-F540
I have a 10" alpine typeR sub on a 600w RF amp too.

I love the setup.

but I just use my interior speakers for treb and midbass, most of the bass is from the sub.

but my freind had eclipse interiors (6x9s in the back and maybe 4.5s in the front - non components) and they sound decent, but his are running off a pioneer deck, so im not sure if they're better than polks or not, both are good brands IMO.

I had polk db comps, polk db 6x9 and polk momos comps. They are ok speakers but nothing to brag about.
I say you go with the eclipse.
BTW, all were amped, getting 100w/channel
the comps I even had active, and like I said, there wasn't anything to brag about.
My old setup with the MB Quart PCE-216 comps just blew the Momos away... No comparison whatsoever.
