I got the Polk Audio db651 6.5 in speakers. I have a Dodge Dakota Extended Cab and got 2 pairs. I am VERY impressed with the sound clarity and just sheer power of these speakers. Granted it is in a truck cab but these things are extremely loud. They have great clarity at all volume levels and are able to play loud enough to make me yell at my passengers to be heard and they still didn't have any distortion. For $65 a pair they are a steal. I'm only running 22 rms thru my head unit and they can take 60 rms I believe. I highly recommend these speakers to anyone.

Golden crisp sound rather hitting highs or lows. These polk speakers hit hard an clear! However dont expect bass from these speakers, they arent made for that purpose, but if you also have subs the sound in your car will be perfect. Hope this helps- Brad.

I have owned these speakers for about 6 months now and found them to be very reliable. They are stock replacements which made them easy to install, and easily handle the extra wattage of my aftermarket headunit. Value wise, I'd say they are well worth it.

These Polks we use heavily at our shop, they have a good sound and decent midbass, the perform well with after market head-units/receivers. for best sound thogh a proper component set is always better.

Also, Polk Tweeters, though Silk Dome, are notorious for being "harsh" that's not necessarily a bad thing, it's just their sound signature.

Hybrid audio makes some great coaxials that are worth every penny, but with any good speaker setup you should amp the speakers.

Customer Testimonial

I was shopping for a head unit that fit the needs of my Audi, and the price from Sonic was incredible. The customer service was very professional, knowledable, & courteous. The head unit and all necessary install items were promptly sent. I had everything installed today, and the unit is fantastic!
