Love these speakers

I bought these speakers because the component speakers I had did not have adjustable crossover for tweeters. They were way too much. These have 3 settings for tweeter volume. I have them set at -3db and seems perfect. They really sound good at high volume. I feel lucky to have found them for $89. What a steal. I would buy again.

Great pair of speakers for the price.

It's my first ever component speakers and powered by JBL gto 4 channel 100?4rms amplifier. The speakers sound great and the tweeters are quite bright so you have to play with eq to get the best sound.
Couple of things Polk can done for ease of installation is to reduce the size of crossover and tweeter size as they are huge.

Sounds fantastic!

Sounds better than an older model I had of Polk in the car of the same exact type of component speaker. Very balanced mid sound and very clear high end soundstage. Doesn't sound too shrill in the highs at all. This has some bass. However this should not be the reason to buy these. Use with a sub and turn down the bass on these for them to sound the best!

great sound when powered properly

Easy to install..just make sure you wire them to an amp so they can perform as they were intended to.. they need juice to let loose

Polk audio rocks

By far one of the best 6.5 component sets I have owned.
Crisp clear mids and highs and very respectable low range.
Great quality for the price.

great speakers

They sound great and are very loud. I've always been a big fan of Polk products.

Meh

The highs and mids are fantastic, crystal clear. However, it bottoms out pretty quickly. I didn't expect thumping lows, but I sure expected a better low representation than a stock speaker(regardless of stock make). Overall I'm happy for now and it's still a great value but I'm definitely going to search for new speakers in the future.

Great Sound and Great Value

I have always been impressed with Polk's sound and consistency which is why we bought these for my son's build.

They are very durable speakers, and I have 75 watts RMS going to them without any problems. They sound clean and are very powerful. They were an excellent choice at a great value.

I absolutely hate the speaker grilles though! For our build we had to use Q form kick panels and these square grilles wouldn't fit properly or look right in our build. We actually wound up having to buy round speaker grills for them. (might have been better buying different speaker brand with the added cost of grilles?) This is my only complaint.

Can't beat the sound or the price for a good quality product.

Awesome polk speakers

These polk speakers sound amazing compared to what was in my Jeep, extremely happy overall. Good product for the price

Quality upgrade, pairs well with a nice amp

The Polk Audio Dxi 6501 (component speakers) consist of a midrange woofer and highrange tweeter with a crossover to separate the frequencies. I have these connected to a bridged 4-channel amplifier outputting 150W RMS at 4 ohms to each door (older Alpine MRP400). With this setup and after about a week of break-in period, the speakers are just magnificent. High frequencies are the best part of this setup but there is surprisingly an adequate amount of bass as well. Surely, you need a subwoofer for the deep bass but it is definitely accurate sound reproduction and puts out far more bass than my old Alpine speakers I was running. Even in my car (a 2 seater convertible) I can hear everything loud and clear on the highway. For the price, these are the best possible option if you care at all about accurate, balanced sound.

Well Balanced sound system

Shipping was solid. No worries about Sonic Electronix service.
I installed these in a '97 Mustang Cobra, only after a thoughtful approach to deadening the road noise on those poorly sound insulated Fords.....I want to hear the music.....These speakers were mounted in the doors. Tweeter install was custom but easy if you are at all handy. Don't over think it. The woofers perform well, not a thumping bass but they have a presence. They are after all, mid-range woofers. The tweeters perform very well. Not overly bright. Paired with a Sound Ordinance amp this combo sounds great. The closest I have ever come to my living room vintage audiophile set up in a car. Which says a lot.
That being said I'm still looking for the best EQ setup from my head unit. There are many, many options. I have some new but older Boston Acoustics 6x8 on the rear deck that dominate. fortunately they also sound great. Overall I have good speakers, now I have to find the perfect EQ setting. There are even settings on the crossovers (!) Hard to manage when I'm driving but I'll get there
6 stars on value, Durability? have not had them that long.

Outstanding quality with punch

I was more than impressed with the quality and strength of sound coming out of these Polk Speakers. You must supply them with the appropriate power (~100 Watts RMS)...or you will be disappointed. I originaly intended to just install the speakers and power them with an aftermarket Head Unit. I was disappointed (with HU only power)...until I called the In-House experts at SonicElectonix who exceeded my expectations in finding the right amplifier and setup for my situation. I paired these with a JL Audio 2 channel amp (110 RMS each channel), lined the doors with sound deadener, and POW...extremely tight and powerful sound...with incredible high end. More than impressed

Love it

Great speakers amped I didn't test them without one. You can't go wrong for the price.

DXi6501

Good looking speakers have not installed yet due to illness but will install soon. Bought for the price, marine grade and other reviews that I read on Sonic web site.

Nice price

Clean crisp sound,very happy with the purchase,easy install

Sounds Amazing

I got one side installed so far it is a hard install considering I am putting a 6.5 inch speaker in a hole meant to mount a 5.25 speaker. It did fit thought and I still can row my window down. I also got a bad crossover with the component set and am in the process of Sonic replacing it. So far now I have one side Polk and the other side Pyle Pro and the difference is night and day. Polk is the way to go, despite all the issues I am having, most is my choice since I'm putting them in a car not meant for this size speaker.
