Description


Polk Audio brand icon

Authorized dealer

The db models have been styled with “tuner” automotive enthusiasts in mind—from the wheel style grilles to the textured driver cones, db says “hot car.” But Polk's db series offers much more than great styling. The full force of Polk Audio’s award-winning engineering went into developing high performance to match the cosmetics. All of the components in the db Series benefit from Polk’s Dynamic Balance technology that stems from a joint research project between Johns Hopkins University's Center for Non Destructive Evaluation and Polk Audio.

The new db Series has been built tough to withstand the rigors of exposure to the sun, water and salt to earn Marine Certified status. db Series speakers are perfect for use in boats of all types.

This sub rocks!!!

This is a great little sub i put it in a sealed box behind the seat of my truck and couldnt be happier with the punch that comes out of that 8" sub.
If your looking for some bass trying to get that full balance of sound in your ride you cant go wrong with this 8" sub.

This sub rocks!!!

I just recently put this in my truck and wow this little sub has some kick. Put a small kicker amp on it and its just the right amount of bass for me. great blance with the other polk audio speakers in the truck. If you want a little bass in your ride you cant go wrong with this sub...

Awesome little sub!!!

This little sub doesn't require a lot of power and sounds awesome. I have used this sub in outdoor applications. The latest was a golf cart paired with an MB Quart Marine amp and two Polk Audio 5.25". The setup sounds amazing. I would definitely recommend this sub. It's not over powering but just right and it comes at a great price.

Great Replacement

Replaced the blown factory sub in my 2006 F-150 with this sub. Had to make a 3/4" spacer ring due to the extra depth this sub required. Other than that fitment was great and sound is better that the factory sub. Should have replaced it years ago!

tuff subs

I built a box for my 800 can am outlander and put Polk in it. I have never used dual voice coil until now. I must say i am very pleased with these speakers. They have been covered in mud, water, sand and dust and keep on rockin! people can't believe how good this system sounds on the front of an atv! When they die I'll buy another pair just ike them.

Great Small Sub

Put it in last night to replace my stock subwoofer in my 2006 Lincoln mark LT, this sub sounds a lot better then the old paper cone 8 inch. I had to put a seal around the sub when mounting it to the factory box, i used the foam cut out that came with the subs packing material, it works very good and keeps air in tight. so far i am very happy with it, this is a great sub at a great price if you want to swap out the terrible factory subs cars are coming with now.

polk 8" subs, incredible mid bass sound

used 2 of these subs, one in each door. along with 3 6.5 polk components per door. these provided great midrange and really filled in the frequencies where the subs couldn't hit. Gave them a solid 175 watts rms and they, to this day, take all the power like little champs. order with the matching grills. perfect match to the other polk audio products. and to top it off, no better customer service than that from sonic. thanks guys. will be back. think my wifes stereo needs a redo.....

This item is the perfect solution for most projects

This item is very cost effective and has great sound depth and speed. I would choose 8" over 10" or 12" any day because or their performance. Added to that, it is dual voice coil which that in itself makes it better.

So impressed !

I have had four systems all having 10s or 12s pushing atleast 500 watts rms per sub.... and I was so impressed with how deep and loud these can hit they are in no way near my Two P3 Rockford 12s but they hit good base notes with out being overwellming. Right now thes 8s are being used with a Kenwood KAC-7205 and they work great to geather in custom sealed boxes in the back of my 300zx z32... I was hopeing for just a little more from these but they are great for the price and well worth buying!
