The db models have been styled with “tuner” automotive enthusiasts in mind—from the wheel style grilles to the textured driver cones, db says “hot car.” But Polk's db series offers much more than great styling. The full force of Polk Audio’s award-winning engineering went into developing high performance to match the cosmetics. All of the components in the db Series benefit from Polk’s Dynamic Balance technology that stems from a joint research project between Johns Hopkins University's Center for Non Destructive Evaluation and Polk Audio.

The new db Series has been built tough to withstand the rigors of exposure to the sun, water and salt to earn Marine Certified status. db Series speakers are perfect for use in boats of all types.

No need for more bass unless your goal in life is to shake neighborhoods and cause your own hearing loss. I drive this with 350 watts rms, inside my trunk and never felt like more was needed. Great sub.

We've always done Kicker, I have 2 10's in a 2dr coupe powered by a Soundstream trx700xx. These things hit pretty hard! I could've gone 12's but too much bass for me, for their entry level couldnt b happier and didnt require much power. These are by far a great product for budget and bass.

Customer Testimonial

John I really helped me out this morning on an order I tried to perform on line. The website showed a 10% discount code but failed to apply, hence my call to Sonic. He gave me 5% as the promo expired 2 weeks ago. Satisfied customer.
