DB652 DB+ Series 6.5 Inch Marine Speakers, 2-Way Coaxial for Car Audio & Boat, 40-22kHz Frequency Response, Polypropylene Woofer Cone, 3/4" Silk Dome Tweeter, Black

My very old car had a premium sound system with amp from the factory and always sounded great until the speaker cones separated. I realized that a $30-80 pair of aftermarket speakers would likely be slightly better than most regular car speakers, $80-150 would likely be slightly better than premium factory speakers, and over $150 would be higher end speakers requiring a better head unit and sub. These Polks are lower cost but fit in the upper middle category. I first just screwed a couple of these Polks in and the highs sounded very clear, but the mid was muddy and I believed I would need to add a subwoofer because the sound had very little base. I didn’t expect perfection, but they were just slightly better than regular plain factory speakers and not as good as the original factory premium Infinity Gold speakers that came with my car. I had read about putting in sound deadening material and making sure the speakers were sealed air tight. After buying and very minimally applying some of this material around and behind the speakers, the muddy midrange sound was mostly gone and the base was significantly better. I actually had to turn down the bass on my receiver. I spent more on the sound deadening Siless 80mm material & foam tape than I did on one pair of speakers and ended up only using 20% of it. It also took a lot of time but was all well worth it. Sound is now better than the premium sound that came from the original premium factory speakers and much like Polks I have in the house. I do have to adjust the receiver treble/bass and volume just right for the type of music I’m playing because my receiver won’t output anywhere near as well. If I do though, these Polks produce better sound than my Bluetooth earbuds, the bass vibrates, and I feel like a teenager that just got a new car stereo.

I replaced some no-name brand 6 and 1/2-in speakers in the front of my 2000 GMC Sierra Z71 that a local audio professional had installed. I took them out yesterday after receiving these new Polk audio speakers and after installing them they literally blew away the other ones. These are great speakers and I am elated with my purchase. Now I have matching Polk audio speakers for the back and front of my truck along with the hideaway kicker 8-in amp and it sounds awesome.

These Polk Audio DB652+ 6.5" speakers are a slight modify fit replacement for the OEM Honda speakers in 2000-2006 Insights. These fit in both the doors and the rear cargo bulkhead. Power handling is up to 100 watts of continuous power; not a problem for my installed Pioneer DEH-P9400BH CD receiver which outputs 14 watts per channel. These DB652's can handle all the power that my Pioneer receiver can give them. My ears, not so much. Sound quality matches or exceeds the OEM paper cone speakers, with very clear high frequencies. Female singers are much clearer with these installed. I can actually understand the lyrics to many songs now. Not too surprising, given the 40Hz-22,000Hz range of these speakers. Construction is very good - the rubber speaker cone surrounds on these Polk's are a lot less likely to come unglued from the speaker frames than the factory speakers. All four of mine had done so multiple times; I finally got tired of re-glueing them with super glue or listening to the buzzing and distortion from loose cones at moderate volume levels. For you boaters and RV owners out there, these are MARINE CERTIFIED., with waterproof inner and outer surrounds and UV resistant speaker cones. IP 56 rated. Unfortunately, for fellow first generation (2000-2006) Insight owners, these speakers will not just drop in. They have four tabs used for mounting the included Polk grills. These interfere with the door panel speaker openings and prevent the speakers from sitting down flush in the speaker mount, so they need to be removed. You can see them in the included pictures. You can either cut them off or grind them down; your choice. I opted to cut mine off with a pair of diagonal wire cutters. The bad news there is that once you do that, you most likely won't ever be able to mount the included grills. The good news is that thes DB652's fit behind the OEM Honda speaker grills without any interference, so you don't need the Polk grills, which don't fit the OEM grill openings anyway - they're too small. A little more good news is that Polk includes a pair of Factory Grille Badges that you can stick on the factory grills for those of you who must announce to the world that you have Polk Audio speakers in your Insight. Other things to note for Insight installation is that you will need to use the included 25mm screws to secure these to the speaker mounts; the 16mm OEM screws are a bit too short. They grab a few threads, but not enough for my liking. The u-clips are not needed. No issues with the magnet fitting in the existing openings at all four locations in the vehicle. In the box, in addition to the two DB652 DB+ speakers, you get two lengths of speaker wire, two plastic grills, two plastic mounting ring adapters, stainless steel hardware (8x u-clips, 8x 25mm black painted screws), and a set of grill badges.

Not sure how I should rate these. They replaced a pair of Kicker 43DSC6504 speakers. Both running off a Sony XAV-AX6000 head unit and stock speaker wiring. The DB652s seem to have less bass, a more realistic mid range, and better high frequency which is different than what I expected. Overall, the DB652s have less punch but more accurate sound reproduction, I think. I suppose I would recommend the DB652 over the 43DSC6504, but what I really want is accurate sound reproduction with better bass punch. I guess I need to keep looking...

First time using Polk Audio, I hooked them up to my 500 watts amp on my motorcycle, got the gains set to 100 watts each speaker at 80% volume and these things stay loud at 50-70% volume, was crushing 80 mph and had the volume at around 65% and was still able to hear the music, so yes with good clean power from a properly adjusted amp these things did fantastic, was out for 2 hours blasting them with no problems, so they will work great as long as you set everything up correctly, the sound was actually really good, has a nice full sound, I’m sure these would be fine off of head unit power in car doors but on a motorcycle or boat some power makes a difference, I would tell anyone if you go with a amp look up YouTube videos on how to set amp gains with a multi meter or have an audio shop do the tuning for you, if set up correct they perform very well, only thing I questioned was if they where 100 watts rms for the set or per speaker, I reached out to Polk directly and they verified there 100 watts rms per speaker.

These 6.5 sound great and have a good thump to them too!

Very good! Used these to upgrade my muranos scrappy stock speakers, these offered way more punch, clearer highs and mids. I paired these with a sony mini amp and they sound fantastic!

They sounded all right at first but I detected a problem over a few days. I ended up finding out there was some kind of a short in one of the speakers that was cutting in and out.

Boxen zijn goede kwaliteit mooie Bas en hoge tonen Aanrader voor die prijs

Huge upgrade for my 2009 MK5 VW Jetta.

Have 4 of these speakers in my car (front door and rear parcel shelf) connected to a Sony AX5000 with no amp and they sound amazing!! Really surprising how much bass these can put out.

Mind blowing sound bhai Jabardast bhai without amplifier me bhi ekdum clear sound he With amplifier me to no 1 sound produce karta he ye speaker Music lover k liye definitely lena chahiye Dil khush ho jayega
