Polk/MOMO MMC System Tweeters One important advantage of component systems is their ability, when properly installed, to improve the soundstage created by the music in your car. The soundstage is the musical “picture” made up of the instruments and vocalists. The difference in the soundstage will be dramatic depending on where you mount your tweeters.

Amplifier Power Requirements Your speakers will work well with a variety of electronic components. As little as 25 watts (RMS) per channel will deliver adequate listening levels in most cars. If you have a noisy car or intend to play your system at loud listening levels, more power is necessary to achieve the best performance.
