Polk Audio DB652 DB+ Series 6.5" Coaxial Speaker for Car & Marine, 2-Way Boat & Car Audio Speaker, 40-22kHz Frequency Response, Polypropylene Woofer Cone & 3/4" Silk Dome Tweeter, Black

My very old car had a premium sound system with amp from the factory and always sounded great until the speaker cones separated. I realized that a $30-80 pair of aftermarket speakers would likely be slightly better than most regular car speakers, $80-150 would likely be slightly better than premium factory speakers, and over $150 would be higher end speakers requiring a better head unit and sub. These Polks are lower cost but fit in the upper middle category.I first just screwed a couple of these Polks in and the highs sounded very clear, but the mid was muddy and I believed I would need to add a subwoofer because the sound had very little base. I didn’t expect perfection, but they were just slightly better than regular plain factory speakers and not as good as the original factory premium Infinity Gold speakers that came with my car.I had read about putting in sound deadening material and making sure the speakers were sealed air tight. After buying and very minimally applying some of this material around and behind the speakers, the muddy midrange sound was mostly gone and the base was significantly better. I actually had to turn down the bass on my receiver. I spent more on the sound deadening Siless 80mm material & foam tape than I did on one pair of speakers and ended up only using 20% of it. It also took a lot of time but was all well worth it.Sound is now better than the premium sound that came from the original premium factory speakers and much like Polks I have in the house. I do have to adjust the receiver treble/bass and volume just right for the type of music I’m playing because my receiver won’t output anywhere near as well. If I do though, these Polks produce better sound than my Bluetooth earbuds, the bass vibrates, and I feel like a teenager that just got a new car stereo.

This leveled up my factory speakers in my 24 ridgeline by a LOT. Used an adapter (HSTECH 72-7800) to hook up to my rear doors. Bright sound, very clear. I can highly recommend especially for the price.

Great clear highs and good bass compared to other speakers, recommend

Nice speakers, that sound good. Will see how they handle being exposed to the elements

Youll have to buy the 15.00 5.25"-6.5" adapters. 100 watts rms 300 peak. But marine grade and 35hz on the low end cant believe how much bass these drivers put out worth every penny

I buy a lot of items on Amazon but I rarely take the time to write a review. I had to take the time to give feedback on these Polk 6.5" speakers. I spent 5 times the amount on name brand high end 6.5" speakers for my Harley Road Glide thinking I would get the best sound possible. Boy was I wrong. I ended up having nothing but problems. They didn't fit and I had to trim to make it somewhat work. Once I got them to fit, the sound was not clear and had crackling. Thinking mainly cause it didn't sit right and it was rubbing on the fairing. I decided to return it and take a chance with these inexpensive Polk audio's. Polk has generally been a reliable name for many years and they live up to them. Install was a breeze and they fit in the fairings without any modifications needed. The sound is just amazing and for $60 you can't beat it! If you own a harley and need some 6.5" speakers do not hesitate to buy these.

This is my 2nd pair, for doing the rear doors, which will take some custom work on my part.I bought the 1st pair for the front crew cab doors from Crutchfield but they were out of stock this time. I love their support.I didn't want to take a chance on an unknown, so had to 2nd source from amazon.Speakers arrived on time, new from Electronics Expo .I haven't installed them yet, so this review is based on the first set I purchased a couple months ago.I am very pleased with the sound of these. I left my factory tweeters in place when replacing the factory woofer with this 2-way, but I've had no complaints.I temporarily hooked them up to a higher output head unit while waiting for my Boss amp to arrive and they sound much better than with my 15W aftermarket no-name touchscreen head unit. So it definitely takes some power to drive the bass on these.I'm looking forward to installing this 2nd pair with the new amp when I return home in a couple of weeks.I would definitely recommend them and obviously would purchase them again .

The media could not be loaded. First I would like to say they look great. The sound quality is nice if you’re sitting on your motorcycle with just the aux on. Once you start moving the sound is very very low. I had higher expectations. I’ve attached a video with the sound and walked away about 20-30 ft and you can hear the vocals but on the highway it’s hard to hear. Safe to say I will be replacing these with better speakers.
