These are the best speakers I've ever heard. The are crystal clear, loud (when you want them to be), deep, and not at all harsh. The voices male and female are reproduced flawlessly. I pay metal to classical to jazz the the SR6500 are great for all!

After having this speakers in my car for 6+ months, I can't be happier. I love the hard beating bass and the tweeters are so accurate you won't believe it. You can expect the most incredible sound to come out of this speakers. Once they break in, you'll just be astonished every time you get in your car. Worth every single penny.

June 9, 2008 Polk SR6500

Ryan from Slidell, LA

After much research and getting reviews from both magazines and others that have heard these, I decided to take the plunge. A few dollars later, I have the best speakers I have heard to date. (Keep in mind I install audio for a living)

The first day I got these, I half-a**ed them into the doors of my '07 F150 Extended cab, running through two channels of a JL 300/4. They were by far the worst I had heard. As many people had said (including Polk's "White Paper") I needed to let them wear in a little bit.

Within the first week, I was starting to get a bit more mid out of the driver and that progressed on constantly for the next week or so. By the end of the break-in, I was satisfied that I bought these to take the place of my JL XR-570CSi's.

But they really shined when I took the time and effort to mount them in the doors correctly with a fully deadened door and mdf baffles. I also then rewired the JL 300/4 into 150x2 @4ohm. Then ran 12ga from the backwall (I mounted the HUGE X-overs there) to the mid and tweet. Thanks again Mr. Polk.

July 13, 2007 The Best Sound I Ever Heard

I could not believe the sounds I heard come out of these things. I play reggae all the time at the highest volume and these things just don't fail to show perfect performance. I'm running a set in a maxima with 100 watts rms to each channel. The tweeter is what stands out the most about the set because ring radiators are the tweeters found in house speakers. When installing them, your going to have to find a place to stick the corssovers which are rather large. The are a bit costly too, but trust me, they are worth it.
