Polk MOMO components -- Good/bad?

[Big E 4]

As the topic says. Does anybody have first experience with these 6.5" component sets? How do they sound? Are the highs edgy? Is the midbass there? With my accommodation price...they're definitely one of my first picks.

Any other recommendations around the, oh let's say, $130 price range? For power I'm looking at around 100 watts RMS...most likely a SAX 100.2 (or SAE 50.4 bridged? ). I'm not sure I can justify the extra costs of going active; I'm not terribly picky about the lack of adjustability.

I'd pass.

I'd pass.

Any recommendation around $130? I don't mind expanding my budget...but obviously looking to stay low.

Passive sets for that price are basically meh...if you can double your budget to around $200 you could afford to get an active Xover with the extra $100 and then spend $100 on drivers, which would have a lot more value.

I'd agree with Jim in particular since you imply you want a reasonable tweeter (non-edgy) and good midbass. Good midbass and "value" set comps is an oxymoron of sorts.

After looking around a bit, and reading up on them...I've decided to go against the Polk MOMOs. I'm now looking at a SAX 100.4, 2x Mach5 MLi-65 and 2x Vifa tweeters or 2x Seas tweeters. Anybody have experience with either of these tweeters? I do have one question -- I like the looks of these tweeters over the other two, and the specs are all pretty comparable, but I can't figure out for the life of me how I would secure those in my car. Does it come with mounting hardware that mounts behind the door panel or how does that work?
