Big sounds for a great price!

Installed this pair of speakers in a Goldwing motorcycle stereo upgrade. After using these speakers now for over 6 months, I don't think you can purchase a better value for waterproof speakers with the clarity and harmonics of the Polk Audio 501's.

Great Sound

I had to replace some blown Nokia speakers. The remaining Nokias sounded tinny. The addition of these two in the back gives depth and clarity to the music. Now, I can hear the locations of the individual instruments. Plan to buy another pair to replace the remaining nokias.

Sounds Great

I replaced my rear speakers in my 1991 Supra made a world of difference.

Great little speakers

Sound great with just a little bit of power. They really come alive if you use them as mid range speakers and have a sub in the back. I put Polk Audio in all the stock places in my Supra and they sound great.

Great Buy

Bought these for my Honda Goldwing motorcycle to replace the originals. Turns out the ones in the bike had some aftermarket speakers already in it. These sound so much better with better volume than the previous "upgrades." This was a great price on these as well. Would highly recommend them.

db501 Speakers worth every penny

These speakers sound amazing for the small size! Great job Polk!

polk db501 goldwing front speaker upgrade

Easy upgrade speakers fit in existing faring cutouts and sound much better than stock speakers.

Sound Great

I would like to say that these speakers are great. I installed them on my motorcycle, 1999 Honda Valkyrie Interstate. I bought four and I am very pleased with the sound. Had to do just a little modification on each speaker, but I feel that anyone could do it also. I also bought a power amp but have not installed it yet. Waiting for winter. I would recommend these speakers.

Good Speakers!

The Polk Audio db501 definately exceeded my expectations and offered a significant step up from my factory 4 inch speakers. I can turn up the volume without worry of distortion and they have adequate bass for such small speakers. Good speakers!

Polk Audio db501

Great little for the money. I have the hooked up to a Kicker amp, and they sound great.

Lowest Price

Installed on my 99 valkyrie interstate, big improvement. Waterproof and crystal clear sound.

Very Good Product

I used the Polk DB501's on my motorcycle and I'm very happy with the results. The improved clarity, combined with higher volume at highway speeds are a big improvement over the OEM speakers.

Good Product ... Good Value.

db501 speakers

Excellent choice, great sound for the money, easy install for Honda GL1800 Goldwing front and rear.

Great sound on my Goldwing

Put these on my Goldwing, they have very clear mids and highs.

Sound Fantastic!

I have 1993 Honda Accord EX and I bought these for the front door speakers and I had to do minimal work to install them. Honda had the speaker terminal connectors already on the stock speakers so installation was a breeze. What a world of difference, I love them. I couldn't be more happy about my purchase.

Perfect Replacement for Honda Gold Wings

I bought a set of these to replace the old paper cone speakers in my Honda Gold Wing. The better cones, coaxial design, and marine (waterproof) specifications make them the best speaker you can get to replace your old Honda Gold Wing speakers. I highly recommend them!

lotta bang for the buck

i got these to replace the rear speakers on my honda gl1500se. excellent sound quality, crisp and clean. would recommend these to anyone

Great Speakers For Harley Davidson Ultra Classic Fairing Speakers!

I replaced the Harley Stock Fairing Speakers with the Polk Db501 Speakers. Installation was pretty strait forward. The sound improvement was quite dramatic! The Imaging & Soundstage was Wider and the Highs were quite improved over the stock, speakers. These Speakers are also Marine Rated! Highly Recommended!

Great Speakers

Crystal clear sound with speakers that can handle the power. Crisp highs and respectable sounding lows. The value is better than many of the higher end speakers on the market.

Good for Goldwong

I installed these in my Goldwing with minor alterations. They were much better than the orginal speakers but needed an amp to get the best performance. I sold the bike before I could install the amp.

For The Goldwing 1800

Quality of product and sound was great. Had to customize a little to fit, but works well and sounds super.

Excellent speakers

I installed these to replace some aftermarket speakers in a GL1800 Goldwing. The sound quality is superior to both the original and aftermarket speakers I had installed. They are excellent quality and would be excellent replacements in a variety of installations.

polk speakers

great sounding speakers for the money. small size big sound

Not what I expected

I have owned these Polk DB 501 speakers now for 6 months. They did not hold up. Sound is now distorted and no better than the stock speakers I replaced that had been in the Goldwing since 1998. I am getting a fluttering sound on the Base. I would not recommend this product. There is better out there at the same or better price.

Quality Sound!

I purchased the Polk Audio db501 speakers 6 months ago and installed them on my 2008 Honda Gold Wing. They are a far superior speaker than stock. The sound is much clearer and less distortion at high volume. I had to shave off a little bit of the metal from both sides so they would fit. A friend did it with a band saw. It's not a big deal but they simply would not fit stock. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to upgrade from the stock speakers. The other speakers on the market are no better than the stock ones.

db501 in GL1800

This is the 3rd pair of speakers I have put in the rear of my G1800. They are the best ones I have put in to date. Much improved bass and volume compared to the previous 2 pairs I have tried. All the speakers have been driven off a kenwood 100 watt amp. An added benefit was that no modification was needed to install these little jewels. Previous speakers used were jm audio which were an easy placement but I wasn't satisfied with the sound and Sony exploid which I modified to fit the housing.

Polk DB501

Purchased for 2004 Goldwing M/C. Worked great without modifictions in original speaker pockets. Great sound and great service from Sonic.

Will use again.

great speakers

Love the sound of these speakers on my goldwing. Holes dont line up though when installing.

Crisp sound-Great fit!

These were pretty much a perfect fit for my 1988 Toyota Supra rear speakers--hard to find 5" speakers. Sound great and I did not have to modify the OEM speaker boxes they fit into.
