GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Well I replaced the speakers in the rear of the vibe because my wife blew them within a month. Now I added a Pioneer mp3/cd changer controller for her trip to georgia. She liked the idea that I could burn 170 songs on one disk for her to drive with. 3 Hours into the trip she blows the front right speaker. I like the look (and sound) of the Polk component set, but am looking for other options. Anyone have any advice? I have Polk ex-2's in the rear now and they sound great.

I got a suggestion.Tell her to stop blowing speakers. Seriously though, how does that keep happening?

I don't know how but my wife did it to my truck too.

the polk momo's are nice, pricy but nice and buy them at circuit city get the extended warrenty if she blows em they replace em no charge

The M&T package is only 200W peak...that shouldn't blow any aftermarket speaks....

If she is blowing the factory speakers, she either has the base too high, or she will be deaf within just a few years. My radio is so loud at half volume, that it hurts.

I don't know if you guys notice the difference, but the same volume will much louder with a CD then it is on the Radio. If you like your music loud, you crank up the radio... you get used to listening to the radio on a certain volume, then you turn on a CD at that volume, and it's much louder.

i pound the sh*t out of my factory speaks, nothing blown yet. must be the bass. tell your wife that if the speakers are farting and distorting, she needs to turn something down...

I'm gonna get the polk momo's for the front. I bought the mp3 player so it's her turn to dish out for the speakers.
