Great product

The following review is for a previous version (db521).

Awesome speakers. They are only 2 way so you need more to fill out a complete system. But great power with a 45w rms per channel amp. Never ran it without an amp. But sounds great.

perfect!!!

The following review is for a previous version (db521).

i bought these as replacement speakers for my TJ and could not b happier. Hooked them up to a small amp, and the sound couldnt be better for the price. and being that they are marine grade, a little splash from the hose every now and then after a little play time, wont hurt either.

not worth the money

The following review is for a previous version (db521).

Installation was easy. I do NOT recommend. The speakers did not last 3 months. I don't listen to loud music but need to hear the speakers when I have the top off my Jeep. They did't sound much better than the factory speakers and one doesn't even work now.

POLK AUDIO SPEAKERS

The following review is for a previous version (db521).

I purchased a new set of 4 of the 5 1/4 polk audio speakers and put them in my pontoon. The sound quality is great. I am running them off of the head unit which came with my pontoon, I am sure that they would sound even better if they were either running off of a good head unit or if amplified. I am very happy with these speakers. They sound 10 times better than the originals. Great buy!

Nice speakers

The following review is for a previous version (db521).

Got a pair about a week ago. Haven't hooked them up yet but just the look and feel of them make me think that they are very durable and will sound fantastic. I will repost when i install and hear them.

Polk Speakers from now on !

The following review is for a previous version (db521).

I recently changed out the sound system on my 08 Harley Ultra Classic. I put in a set of the Polk db5251 components in my fairing. They sounded so clear I just knew I needed to get a set of these for my rear speaker pods. Installation was a little tricky. Thanks to Sonix and their line of spacers I got them to mount. The db521 are powered from the factory radio and the db5251's plus my Polk MM DVC 8 inch sub are being run off a rockford fosgate pbr300x4 amp. These polk speakers and subs not only surpass the Hog Tunes speakers I had they are so much clearer and put out more volume and the suckers are not even broke in yet. I now have a sound system that handles it all. Thanks again Sonix and their staff for helping me with sane pricing and great shipping.

DB521 speaker

The following review is for a previous version (db521).

I bought these a couple of months ago to put on my motorcycle. Finally got the chance to put them on today. One, they did not fit my application (which is fine). But, I just hooked one up to see what it sounded like, and the tweeter was almost non-existant. Not good on a motorcycle with loud pipes/wind. I have some cheaper Kicker CS40 speakers on the bike now (what I could buy on short notice before a trip last year). Those sound way better! Especially, the tweeter (night & day!). I'd even cover one up, then the other. I was disappointed in the sound of these speakers. I had some Polk Audio speakers almost 30 years ago, and those things rocked. Not so much here. They were average at best. Maybe I got a bad speaker(s)? Since it didn't fit, I didn't even try the other speaker. I also bought a pair of the DB651 speakers as well.

Not wonderful...but I didn't use them to their potential

The following review is for a previous version (db521).

First off I need to say that I installed these in my stock BMW. BMW uses a very low powered amp and loud tweeters. I could never really hear any difference with these Polk speakers. I believe that they would be excellent had I hooked them to an amp and disconnected the stock BMW tweeters.
