This is the first set of component speakers I have ever purchased, and I must say, the sound quality from these Polk component speakers is absolutely incredible. The Polk 6.5 component speakers replaced a set of aftermarket 6.5 coaxial speakers, and the Polk speakers are just so much better sounding. The power handling is pretty impressive, and I have yet to be able to make these speakers distort. The bass response is just so much better than you get with coaxial speakers. I know they are a little pricey, but I have found the sound quality to make them well worth the extra money. I would buy these again in a heartbeat if I had room for them...

I purchased these a week ago, and put them in my car yesterday. I ran the factory amp to both, the 6 1/2"s and the tweeters, not even using the crossover assembly. There is a lot of high frequency and mids now with these speakers. I had to turn down the treble and mid range on my radio to half way. WOW! As far as the sound, they blow my stock Clarion speakers out of the water. Yes, I'll stick with Polk Audio. :D

I bought these speakers for a 2003 Avalanche.
I replaced the factory with these using a decent 4 ch. kennwood amp. I mounted the tweeters flush with the supplied housings. When I was done I was a little disappointed with the sound. When I raised the volume I got distortion. I was sure I just needed more power. The kennwood was probably putting out about 100watts per ch. (it was given to me & wasn't in great condition)
The peak on the 6501's is 300 so I swapped the amp with a pioneer 760 watt 2 ch. I left the gain all the way down and tried it. The sound was incredibly loud! No distortion and I couldn't stand being in the truck with the volume all the way up! I wanted to close my eyes and cover my ears. I read someone's review saying they can't handle power. It's a lie! They can handle it! If you want the most bang for your buck a head unit by its self won't do it. My stereo does 80 x 4 and didn't do the speakers half the justice they deserve.
Keep in mind the location of your tweeters makes a difference. Drill your holes big enough so they are free enough to swivel. If you have to fight them in your holes too small.

I bought these speakers and installed them in an 03 avalanche.
I spent all night installing them with a decent 4 ch. kenwood amp pushing them. When I finished they sounded decent but I still heard distortion when I raised the volume to max. The next day I pulled the kenwood and put a pioneer 700 watt 2 ch. amp on them. I kranked the volume all the way up and the sound was incredible. No more distortion and and it is so loud now I want to close my eyes when I turn it all the way up. I won't be turning the volume more than 2/3 of the way up anymore unless I just want to show someone what they can do!

I had the Polk's installed in a 2001 Cadillac DeVille. The front door has the 61/2, but the rear doors will only fit the 51/4. Once I installed the 500watt 4ch amp to them and now they sound AMAZING. Thanks Sonic.
