I have owned many sizes of speakers of this same type of speaker. from Polk. From 3-1/2 to the 6x9s. All of them sound great but all of them were running off of the head unit. A lot of people have said to really appreciate these speakers they need to be hooked up to an amp. In this case they are hooked up to a 4 channel JL Audio amp. I have 110 watts per channel going to 4 of these speakers in a custom molded headliner. They are in an 86 Chevy K-10 Pickup so as you know the cab is not that big where sound has to travel far. Clear is not the word they go beyond that. The highs are amazing and I could tell right away the difference between having them hooked up to an amp and not. The lows are ok, I have two 10" Kicker CVRs so I wasn't to worried about the low bass end. LIke I said I owned many of Polk speakers. I had an 80s full size Blazer and that had two 3-1/2 in the dash, two 5-1/4 in the kicker panel and two 6x9 right behind me in the back. These 4 speakers hooked up to the amp blew them all away, hands down. Whether you have an amp or not they are a great speaker any size that Polk makes. I would recommend these to anyone amp or not.

Very efficient; very very loud, smooth and clear in the vocals range. Treble is not ovepowering but is decent. I can't rate the bass because I have a sub and whatever bass may be coming out is totally washed out obviously.
Bass coming through the speaker does not distort the mids/highs which is a good surprise.
I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a speaker that will be very good at producing vocals, be it rap/rock/talk radio

I updated the speakers on my deck boat. They are a good set of speakers for the money. However, I put a set of JL audios on the front of the boat and no comparison. Of course, the JL's were also 3 times the cost and needed more power to produce the sound. If good sound for cheap is the way you are looking I would highly recommend. If you like cranking the volume up then maybe you might go with a higher quality speaker that can handle more power. Overall i would say 4 out of 5 stars.
