What is the difference between the Polk Audio TL 1600 System and the Polk Audio TL 1900 System?

I can't say for certain as I haven't compared them. It's possible that is a newer model or slightly higher wattage. In my experience they are likely similar. A quick search on 1900 revealed little results surprisingly. Sorry if not much help

looks like the sub-woofer is different in 1900 system while the satellites are the same

First, I must admit that I'm not an audio expert, and the last time I studied amps and volts and ohms was when I passed the Ham radio exam in 1960. All I can relate is that I currently use the unit to split the audio output from my receiver to an interior and an outdoor set of speakers. The interior speakers are Polk and the outdoor speakers are Best Buys private brand, and there is a considerable difference in the output from the two sets. Ergo I can balance the relative volume between inside and outside using the Monoprice unit. Do far it does a great job, but I don't know if my very limited application will really help.

You can go for the Polk Audio TRiA Series because you could take advantage of its Bi-Amp feature. I personally use a pair of Floorstanding speakers, but the RTiAs are rock-solid!!

For me it was the lower price for the older model. I use my BS-21LR for the rear surround speakers and they do a very nice job for me. It doesn't matter to me that they don't exactly match the newer model Pioneer SP-FS52 LR front speakers and matching center speaker. I also used the older model subwoofer to save $$. If price is a concern for you, it's where you can cut on a surround system without sacrificing looks or performance.

Answer--The 6.0 has a 6" woofer and less power, The 8.0 has a 8" woofer and has 2 more power drivers on the bar and around 400 Watts including the sub woofer total power the 8.0 is by far the premium choice.....Happy Shopping...

I have an 06 Tl. Depending on which factory head unit you have it may not work well with the ohm rating of this speaker. Also it would depend on if you have a factory unit or if you have made the switch to an aftermarket unit. As I have stated before these speakers are excellent for what they are designed for Marine use,water, moisture, shallow mounting depths etc. They do sound great! The depth will definitely work but the vehicle probably calls for a larger speaker. Again i would urge you to ask a local audio installation co.what size fits the vehicle. After you determine the Correct application size you will see that Polk has some great car speakers available for your use. If after all else considered you are determined to use this speaker, with audio enthusiasts where there is a will there is a way! My advice, correct fit, do your homework, aftermarket/factory? There are lots of variables. Factory has a center channel speaker and a built-in subwoofer with level adjustments for all. Would need to know what you are working with before i can help anymore, John

I looked at the MM6501s for a long time before ordering. During that time, last fall, a number of sites listed Mobile Monitor-series speakers as out-of-stock or discontinued. Vendors that had them were sell them for half list-price. At one point, Polk's own website pulled info about some of them. All this indicated the speakers reached End-of-life and Polk was likely clearing product channel while discontinuing them.. or at least before releasing an updated version. I can't say for sure, but I believe you're looking at an updated SKU versus the previous version of the product. I'm not sure what's different. I'd hope the newer ones are better in some way. That said, the older version is pretty amazing. I put a lot of time into sound deadening the doors on my car prior to installing the speakers so hopefully i'm hearing them under the best install circumstances.. but the results are unmistakable. They're an amazing 6.5 component system. I was listening to Luscious Jackson, Fever in Fever out yesterday and the bass lines were deep and clear.. highs shimmered.. full mids. My system is only partially built out.. speakers with stock headunit.. no amp, no sub. The MMs don't move nearly as much air as a small sub but they to reach deep. I'm debating even building a sub cab next spring. I think I'll have plenty bass with a new head unit and an amp. I can't imagine Polk can provide a significant improvement over the previous version. Hope this helps.

Not sure on the jl's but the polks are great. I'm feeding them 100 watts and they like it.

Amazing how Amazon missed this. Google polk tl2 center and go to the Polk Audio site.

I went with the Polk Audio RM6750 5.1 set. Plenty of volume, no distortion, nice range and they look great. They're currently going for $258 here on Amazon. If you search a bit you can find them for $200 somewhere else (hint: egg). These speakers are good. For $200 they're a steal. There are better speakers out there, but none that I know of that are better for the price.

I'm running two 6.5 Polk Audio in the front and two 5.25 Polk Audio in the back. It sounds really good. And it's very loud. I have both Gains set at 5 and it goes up to a Spinal Tap 11.

I think most of the polk products work well together. I would suggest reading some audio forums, they would much more experience than me. Good Luck!

I love my center channel Polk. It is extremely clear especially for voice/dialog which is why I purchased it. No complaints here.

Depends where you gonna use it.... for the price i would take the two 1600 watts and you can adjust the sound as you want.

It will work with the Definitive and the polk TL350, but on the TL350 you can use both the keyhole mounting option or attach it directly to the threaded insert on the back. The threaded insert is inside the keyhole slot.
