ok speaker exagerated highs
I like a flat response in speakers for realistic sound. I record music and reference the mix in my car also. The high boost makes it hard to judge a mix. might be good for some people but just too bright in one high frequency for me.

Sastifying Product
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.

kind of tinny sounding
There seems to be one high frequency that is much louder than the rest around the frequency of a hi hat or cymbal. I prefer a flat response.
These speakers have that high boost which colors the sound and doesn't sound real.

I had replaced the Polk Audio db61 door speakers from some kenwood speakers that I ended up blowing. Believe it or not, they sound better!
And for the price you cant beat it anywhere.

Great for the price
Polk has always been a good brand. With a well adjusted stereo I can get good bass and treble as a two-way speaker is expected. The mids are alright as expected.
Four of these in my truck can provide enough thump to delay my decision on installing a sub. Everything from acoustical, rock, r&b, and whatever sound good. This is coming from an audiophile.

Incredible speakers (especially for the price)
Great speakers for an even better price. Very well built and sound phenomenal. Offer great highs, good mid, and surprising bass. They shake my truck even when they are barely cranked. I have a 98 GMC Sonoma with a JVC head unit running 18 watts RMS power and the speakers have plenty of power.
My only complaint is that installing the speakers was very difficult. The supplied mounting bracket was nowhere close to the right size for my truck so I had to re-drill mounts and use those horribly tiny mounting brackets they send you. The speakers are also much taller than stock and push on the door panels slightly. Grill did not even begin to fit.
Overall, though, I would recommend these speakers for anything from a stock head unit to a powerful aftermarket head with an amp. They are a major upgrade I should have done years ago. I plan on putting these speakers in every future car I own.

Great Speakers
When my factory radio, cd player died I decided to update my car stereo and purchased a new cd player with bluetooth. I also purchased a new set of speakers the Polk Audio db651. I have polk Audio speakers on my home stereo and that is why I selected these. I am very happy with the purchase. The sound is crisp and clear great for listening to Jazz and all types of music.

I ordered this product to replace some stock speakers in my 2004 Tahoe. For some reason, I thought the the speakers would fit right in, but I needed an amp to connect them to. That was a mistake on my part. After having the speakers professionally installed, along with some extras to replace all the speakers in the Tahoe, I am glad the situation played out the way it did. I love the sound quality and everything works perfect with the Polk Audio 12" subwoofers that were installed years ago.

I have had Polk audio speakers before so I figured I buy this pair for my CRV. I was looking at speakers that were at least three times the cost and almost bought them but the car is older and didn't want to spend too much on them. I have been amazed at how good these speakers sound. They have plenty of base and good treble and mid-range. These speakers are crystal clear. I highly recommend them.

Great speakers, great price
Ordered a pair of these 2 years ago to replace blown OEMs in the front. The rear OEMs finally gave out so I'm buying another pair. Quality and ease of install added to great sound from a well-known company made this a complete no-brainer. Sonic Electronix was great then (price and service) so, of course, I came back. Next, a new head unit.

All round good speakers
One thing to note is that the DB651s do not come with mounting brackets as they are the slim version. With the DB651 however, they are included in the box. Overall the speakers are great. It's definitely not a very 'bassy' speaker, I would more compare it more towards a set of studio monitors, providing clear/clean sound.

Good sound & great value
Installed 6 months ago to replace the oem crappy front speakers on 2011 Hyundai Tucson Ltd. Sound quality improved a lot. Easy good fit installation with the accessories provided, but the simple manual does not help. The good looking grill covers cannot be used which is a waste. I got a good deal/bargin from Sonic, cheaper than I buy locally in Canada even with all the shipping, handling costs.
In addition, I feel the Polk Audio db651 sounds even better than the Infinity ref 6032si I installed in the rear doors.
Highly recommended at this price range.

These are a nice upgrade from the one-way speakers that were in the sound bar in my '08 Jeep. They fill out the spectrum well and, with a sub-woofer, you get a nice, full range. Excellent bang for your buck. The adapter ring (included) is needed so be prepared for a little drilling.

Clear sound! Great mids! Overall awesome!
Nothing is better than having you speakers amplified! The clearity of sound increases significantly. I think for the money, these polks are the best on the market. Reputable company and a great product line. I have two Of the speakers in the back coupled with Polk 6x9 version that handles the same wattage in the front. Rockford Fosgate R400 amp sending 75 watts to each speaker. Had these speakers for about 4 years now and I've had a couple blow from cranking up the volume a little to much but they are cheap enough to replace every couple of years so it's no big deal. Definitely recommend!

Decent speaker
The speakers offer little to no bass but that wasn't a huge problem considering I have 2 rockford p3's. these speakers however do not offer a lot of mids either. The highs do get very loud though. Maybe if I would've amped them up that would've help with the mids. I've had the speakers for about 3 months and they are starting to rattle. However that is after turning them up to 35 (on a 60 volume scale) but most aftermarket speakers should be able to do that with ease. I'm not sure how these sound with an amp. But if you are not looking to amp these up and you have a sub that puts out pretty good bass.. These are not the way to go.

Nice sounding speaker
These speakers are very impressive. Very clear sound with decent bass on head unit. HOWEVER If you choose to install an amp with these speakers, you will be rewarded with clarity AND bass. My system has these two speakers and one 8" Infinity woofer with a 1600 watt amp. Installed with one speaker per channel and bridge the other channels to the sub. Awesome sound. Great speakers !!!

Good speakers, kit contains a conversion ring which is nice. Sound is very clear up to about 1/2 of my radio's volume then distorts. This is because I do not have an amp and not the fault of the speakers at all. I would definitely recommend these as a budget replacement to door speakers, but they definitely need an amp.

Polk Audio db651
I recently bought a second set of these speakers to go in the front of my truck cab. I have to say that for the price they are great. I would recommend them to anyone that wants a clear high end sound without distortion. The tweeter in the middle sticks out a bit more than a normal speaker of this type but that doesn't make the speaker any less great.

Crisp and clean
I installed these in the rear of a RAV4. This was an upgrade from a single 5.25 inch paper cone mid to this coaxial comp. The difference is amazing. The factory speakers were very muddy and unfocused, with undefined sound and no staging. These Polks have beautiful definition and staging and give my back seat guests access to nuances in the music they didn't have before.
Installation was easy- I was able to simply connect the supplied leads to the stock wiring and thread it through a hole in the door panel. Physical installation required me to drill an extra hole for the one screw in each door for the mounting bracket. The speed clips worked fine for this and installation overall was quite easy.
My gripe are few. The brackets dont seem that robust, especially compared to the beefy construction of the speakers themselves. This would be an easy place for Polk to step up a bit. Second, unlike the matching 6501 component set , there is no way to drop the treble off on these. It would be nice to be able to match them to the fronts since this is likely a common combination. Third, I'm a little surprised by the loss of bass, given that I upgraded from a smaller speaker to a larger one. I'm still using the stock HU so maybe that plays a role, as does the fact that the bass is so much tighter now, but I do feel like there's something missing at the low-end now.
All in all, I'd highly recommend these speakers.

DB651 (not the slimline speaker)
After doing plenty of research I decided to install these in my 99 Toyota tacoma Xtracab. Was looking for a bit better power handling 2 way speaker and these filled the order quite well.
Pros: Excellent power handling speaker with plenty of highs and lows and the materials to handle high output with clarity.
Cons; These are not a direct bolt in into a 99 Toyota Tacoma Xtracab, you will have to do some modifying, but not much. Not really a Con per say, as I knew I would have to modify before the purchase.

Go Polk
I have never been disappointed with any speakers I've bought from Polk. These 6-3/4" went in the doors of my firebird and fit great. They are powered by 50w pioneer head unit and seem to be getting enough power for my purposes, but more never hurts!
In the hatch I have 2 RF 6x9's in ported boxes and amped 100w to each. This has a good stage for music; clean mids and sharp highs up front from the smaller polks, and more low end presence from the back 6x9s.
These are awesome for the price and they're marine certified so they should hold up fine to being swung around inside the doors, exposed to weather.
Low end Hz are somewhat disappointing, at least in my setup, but match these with subs and it would have awesome range.

Great Budget Speakers
I purchased 2 sets of these along with a set of Polk db351's for my dash. These were installed in a 2004 Trailblazer EXT and I have to say that they offer way more than I anticipated in terms of sound quality. I have the 4 651's attached to about 80w rms and the 351's running off of my head unit (17w rms).
I had a set of cheaper coax's previously and there is no comparison between those and these. They look great, feel sturdy, and perform way better than I thought they would. I would absolutely buy these again and would recommend them to anyone looking for speakers in this price range.
Through many communications with them and verifying on Polk's website, these do handle 100w rms per speaker. Even better deal for 65 bucks!!!

I am running only 45 x 4 amp, so at lower volume levels there's not much mid and bass. For someone looking to replace stock speakers and keep original headunit, keep this in mind.

great set of coaxials
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.

bass is really good if mounted where there is a compartment behind them. Out of the box highs are a little harsh but acceptable and can be toned down if your head unit has the capability. I did a some adjusting and i am impressed with how good they sound. I plan on adding another set.......soon! Get these you won't be disappointed!!!! I gave them 3 stars on durability because i just installed them and the grill has some spacing as far as protection.

Mids and Highs Good...
For whatever reason I did not have any bass with these speakers in the doors of my 2005 Hyundai Elantra. The factory junkers had better bass. However, if you are using a subwoofer they will sound nice.

Great speakers for the price.
These speakers are great for the price. They have excellent mids and highs. I have 2 pairs for front and back and powered by a old school kicker amp which gives them about 65w rms each. They get very loud and don't distort very easily. For the price I would definitely recommend them.

Outragous sound
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.

Amazing if you have subs
A combination of these door speakers, Polk Audio 6'9" in the rear deck, and 2 15" MTX subs in the trunk sounds absolutly amazing. These speakers have a very very loud high end. Like if a high pitch sound plays, you risk a chance of busting your ear drums!! So i turned the high end down just a bit, and a combination of that, and the subs makes for a 10/10 sound system.

Nice sound, not much bass
Got these speakers to replace stock Kia speakers. Ended up keeping the stock speakers because these ones have terrible bass output. They were great for full range, almost making music sound 'live' - everything was good but the bass, so they had to go.

sounds good
My set up is a simple consisting of a pioneer head unit, jbl gto 1004 amp, and polk momo (mm1240) subwoofer. The excel in both the department i.e. sound quality and sound pressure level.
I was surprise to see that this speaker sounds great without any distortion, secondly the build quality is upto the mark. The sound quality was good not on par with the momo series.
Cons: As compare to the polk momo subwoofer I found that this speaker were not keeping up to my expectation.

World of difference in a Zuk !
Replaced stock very cheap, tinny rear door speakers, 6 1/2", in 2009 Suzuki SX4 Crossover and am very, very satisfied. Had NO bass before and the extra benefit is the very crisp midrange now as well. Snipped connector plastic off of old speakers, snipped wires at cone and soldered to the tabs on the new ones, so still have a plugable design; necessary to drill my own holes for mounting and these are a perfect fit for the door panel ! This Zuk is easy to work on. And your prices are great !

Good bang for your buck!
I purchased these along side the DB691. I powered them first by an aftermarket head unit, then a mediocre under-powered amp, and finally by an Alpine amp more suited towards the RMS ratings of this speaker. In all three setups these speakers were leaning more on the 'bright' side. However, after a month of appropriately powering them with the Alpine amp they finally started to break in and sounded a lot more full. Even though they sounded a little better than right out of the box, there's still a lack of mid-bass. As long as you have a sub in your setup you should be good to go! Overall, I'd say these are a great bang for your buck!

awsome speakers
I payed damn near twice this price, mostly becuase it was near 3 years ago, and from a retail store. but none the less, the speakers perform as though they $150+ speakers, like noted before they only can truly be appreciated with an amp, I have them powered by an eclipse EA4000, 75 watts a speakers rms, EXCEPTIONALLY sharp highs, and i mean SHARP,and not to bright. once they are tuned right, they sound amazing, I have 4 of them, and 2 in the door and 2 on the back behind my seat's that use the trunk as a bass tube to give it a little more thump, with the bass turned up, and the low's turned right, they hit so nice you'd swear their was an 8" sub back their.

Great Speakers 4 Great Price
I have an 02 Honda Accord 4 door. Installed the Polk db651's in my front doors. For the first 3 months they were powered by 50 watt rms per channel head unit and sounded great. I planned on putting an amp on them from the beginning, but didn't, due to financials. After a few months I purchased and then installed a West Clast Customs 1600.4 amp (also purchased from sonicelectronix - $100 - free shipping - Great price for Great amp). Without an amp the db651's were already really crisp and clear, even at higher volumes. I didn't think they could get much better, but with more power and better tuning ability, the Polk db651's SOUND EVEN MORE AWESOME. Needless to say I would def buy these again. As a surprise for Christmas, I am planning on replacing all 4 of my wife's speakers in her 2011 Honda Fit with al db651's. Thanks Polk and Thanks Sonicelectronix.

Polk Audio DB651 Speakers sounding great in boat after 6 months
I put the Polk Audio DB651 Speakers in to replace some 8 year old speakers. They sit exposed, but under shade on the center console of my boat in the Florida sun. They sounded great day 1 with nice tight bass, clear mid-range, and bright highs. I listen to a wide range of music and I'm pleased with the sound. If you are looking for head banging bass, you'll need to add a subwoofer. For me, they were reasonably priced, durable, and sound great.

These sound great!
These speakers are just about the best around. The 1" tweeter gives you that high end boost that you always need. Before I bought these, my Sony speakers were being drowned out by subwoofers, now I have a clear crisp sound coming throughout my car. If you are looking for reasonably priced great speakers then these are for you. One of the flaws in Polk's design is that the cool looking grills that you see in the picture won't fit in most cars. I really didn't care about the grills after I heard them for the first time though. These speakers are great for any type of music whether it is rock, hip hop, or even classical. They give you a great sound in any environment.

I miss them already. if you like music and are a musical guy use these you will love them!!!

I have purchased two set of speakers, RF Punch P1650 and Polk Audio db651. The RF Punch P1650 is playing on the rear and the Polk in the front. Both connect to a Punch 600x4 amplifier. I found that RF Punch sound greater than the Polk db651.
Polk db651 sounds pretty good thought, but it didn't impressed me.

Nicer sound at a low price
I replaced speakers in my 2001 Yukon which were all treble, no bass and one rear speaker did not work at all. These are a big improvement. Unfortunately the speaker that didn't work at all has a wiring problem and new speaker does not work there either.
Only catch was having to solder the old wiring socket to the new speakers as they came with no compatible sockets for my car. Not a big deal, but I have replaced other speakers for a Buick that came with adaptable connectors and thought these would be the same since they were listed as fitting my car..

These speakers are loud and clear and handle bass well. i pushed 60 watts rms thru them crossed at 80hz and they screamed with well mids and highs and decent lows. they are best coupled with a larger speaker or sub that can handle the lower octaves as these are not specialized for that. These were used in many vehicles and always got great reviews from customers. will keep on buying these in the future. give them a try if on the fence.

Cyber Week Dream deal
Got these during Cyber week; always loved Polk Home; equal to the old school JBL stuff when it was still USA built (Not the china junk) these sound amazing. Cyber week price was a bonus for Polk quality. Had Rockford Punch before. These seem a touch easier to fine tune the head unit to get optimal sound. Though i do wish they had these in 3-way for a mid range or super tweeter that would be sweet, so only 3 stars for features due to that.

Great Motorcycle Speakers
These are good speakers for a motorcycle. I purchased these to replace the same model speakers I have in the bike. I damaged the present speakers by turning the gain up too much on the amp. Other than losing a small section of frequency response, they still sound really good. I had these same speakers in my other motorcycle for years, and they still sound great!!

Excellent Value - Clean and controlled mids & highs
I purchased the Polk 651's as replacement drivers for my 2016 Mustang GT. The factory speakers in my Mustang distorted horrible even at moderate volumes. As I didn't want to replace the factory head unit I needed something with good sensitivity, built in high and low pass crossovers, and something that would not require modifying the trim panels in the car. The Polk 651's checked all those boxes nicely. I should mention that I did need to disconnect the factory tweeters on the components in the front and would recommend doing this on any car where you are going from a factory component to an after market coax.
The Polk 651's did not disappoint. The speakers play with more than enough volume off the factory head unit and are clean and clear. The added detail to the mids and highs over my factory speakers is very much welcomed. The bass, while present, is not booming. For those that listen to a lot of bass heavy music, you'll want to pair these up with a sub.
Overall I was able to reach all of my goals at a very reasonable price point. Next step will be to add a sub to finish off the stereo upgrade.

Solid Value - Clear and detailed Mids & Highs
I purchased these speakers to replace the factory drivers in my 2016 Mustang GT. The factory drivers would distort (painfully so) at even moderate volumes. I chose to go with coax vs component drivers to avoid the need to cut out the factory A-Pillar tweeter and mount a new one (instead I simply disconnected it).
The Polk 651's became an immediate front runner. They have a high enough sensitivity to let me run them off the factory head unit and the -12db built in passive high and low crossovers help ensure the right frequencies go to the right driver.
After replacing all for 6.5's in the Mustang with the Polk 651's the sound difference was night and day. Clean crisp mids and highs with minimal to no audible distortion. Bass, while not booming, is present. For those that want a bass heavy speaker, these are not them. However, paired with a sub, they make for a perfect cost effective upgrade.

Good frequency response
I can't possibly compare these to stock as the stock speakers previously in place were in fragments. I had to modify front doors on my 02 GMC crew cab pickup. Drilling hole in the front doors was one of the modifications. Then splicing into the speakers wires to tie into what the Polk speakers needed to hook up was second. Rear speakers were easier due to the mount on the existing speakers. Then splicing once again into speaker wire to prepare to hook up speaker. The speakers sound tight and bass response is good for a 2 way speaker. The gasket in the install kit help with sealing sound. The install took me about 2 hours with lunch in between.

The product information indicated that they were replacement speakers for the OEM speakers. Far from it. The original mounts had to be modified to accept the replacement speakers, the wiring had to me adapted to make the connection and the design of the speakers would not allow the door panel to be replaced without modification. the adaptor bracket and cover bezel sent with the package are totally worthless for use with this vehicle. I am almost afraid to start on the installation of the db351 speaker installations.
