Yes | No 3 out of 5 Polk Audio db651s Written By cqlink, Detroit on Monday, June 10, 2013 Installed in a 2008 Dodge Dakota Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've purchased a number of Polk products. Quality is good. Sound is accurate for mid-priced speakers and subwoofers. I bought the db651s for my 2008 Dodge Dakota. Stock speakers appeared to be cheap Chinese made junk (c'mon Chrysler, are you ALREADY falling back on past mistakes made prior to the government bailout?). I replaced a total of four speakers in my truck and powered them with an RER MyGig factory unit. The db651s are simply too bright. Little to no bass with a factory unit. If one has an aftermarket unit allowing adjustment of crossover freqs, then they may provide SOME punch but even with bass maxed out on my factory unit, they disappoint in the bass department. Mid to high freq notes sound fine. Nice and clear. In the end, I had to buy a powered sub and line converter to get the sound I wanted in this small truck. Pros: Came with adapters to make installation easy. High freq sound reproduction is fine. Cruthfield service is excellent. They recommended stock speaker wire adapters to further facilitate/ ease installation. Unless you want to solder, but the wire adapters. Cons: Little to no bass when paired with factory head units. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Easy to Install; Sound is clean Written By Dano B, Hakalau Hawaii on Wednesday, June 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The sound is clean, clear, and full. A great improvement over the factory speakers which looked very basic once I saw them out of the car doors. Plus, living in a rather wet area of the USA, having speakers that are for wet environments is a big plus. Polk speakers are hard to beat. Door mount plastic plates were designed perfect to hold the speakers. Plus the wiring was a cinch. Pros: Easy to install; sound clean and full. Cons: None at all. Was this review helpful?

Crutchfield made it so easy to find the speakers I needed and provided me with detailed instructions on how to install them. My Honda S2000 is over 13 years old and the right side speaker went bad. The pair of Crutchfield speakers were much less expensive than one replacement speaker from Honda and came with instructions. It has been years since I bought a product from Crutchfield but it won't be years before I go back! (P.S. The speakers also sound great!) Pros: Easy to order, detailed instructions for installation, right price. Cons: None. Was this review helpful?

Great sound and Crutchfield makes it easy to install Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Review of my Polk Audio db651s speakers. Written By JimB, Saratoga Springs, N.Y. on Friday, May 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The speakers perform exactly as expected. I had to replace the "Infinity" Speakers in the rear doors of my 2000 Dakota Quad Cab because one of them went belly up and started making scratchy noises on base notes. The replacement from Chrysler cost about $175 (for one speaker!!) so I decided good old Crutchfield was the sensible way to go. I got both of the db651s's (to have a matched set of course) for $100 complete with wire connectors, speaker mount adaptors and very good instructions. Nothing could have been easier and like I said before, they performed as good or better than the old speakers. Pros: Excellent quality, both for the money and compared to the much more expensive Chrysler "Infinity" speakers. Cons: It would be nice if the speakers came with some sort of dust filter over the cone like the "Infinity" speakers have. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Written By SE, Oakland, CA on Wednesday, May 15, 2013 Installed in a 1997 Dodge Neon Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great little speakers, didn't even bother hooking them up the the 4 channel amp in the trunk. Nice mids and highs. I feel like they are very easy to blow so I am very careful about how much power I give them. Pros: Crisp sound Cons: Mids sound kind of tinny. More horrible grills. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Definite improvement Written By Kevin, Grand Rapids on Sunday, May 12, 2013 Installed in a 2009 Jeep Wrangler Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These are a great replacement speaker to upgrade from factory speakers. They have nice highs and well defined mids, although they are lacking in the bass (that is what the sub is for). Installation was almost perfect with the supplied wiring harness connector and adapter installation ring. The only issue when installing is that depending on the spacing of the existing holes in your vehicle, you might have to file/drill/cut the slot in the adapter ring to get the holes to line up. Pros: Great sound, easy installation Cons: Having to modify the adapter ring to get the holes to line up 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Written By KevinP, Orange,CA on Wednesday, May 08, 2013 I've had these speakers installed for 4 months in my rear deck of my Malibu Classic. I installed them myself with the Crutchfield included factory wire harness adapter and speaker mounting brackets. They are powered by a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X395. Let me tell you, these speakers are AWESOME! Produces good Lows and Crisp Highs. The Mids are clear as well although lost a little in comparison to the Lows. They are fairly punchy but if you want Bass that will kick you in the chest, install a sub. That is my next step. Great speakers, even at very high volumes Pros: Quality Speaker, Clear Lows, Crisp Highs, shallow mount depth, metal frame Cons: not as crisp in the Mids as some speakers 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Your customer service representative ryan was very helpful and recommended these speakers to me. Not only do they sound fantastic but they were very easy to install with the factory wire adapters and speaker mounting adapters it was a breeze to install. Your team is top notch and I am very happy with all the purchases from your organization!!!!!!! Pros: Great sound great polk audio speakers!!!. Excellent customer support and helpful advice!!! Cons: No cons perfect transaction and products Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 A definite upgrade! Written By MES, Montana on Saturday, May 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed these speakers in a 2004 Silverado extended cab. I also put the 4x6 Polk plate speakers of the same series in the back for even sound They really brought added depth and clarity to the system. When the system is properly tuned, the result is impressive given suck small speakers. Pros: Easy install. They look great. Very good frequency range. Better than expected performance at higher volumes. Cons: The mounting kit supplied from Crutchfied (for free I might add) allows for some looseness when the speakers are installed in the door. This creates a rattle at certain bass frequencies. I suggest adding a couple of extra screws to secure the mounting plates, or using some foam as a cushion under the mounting plates. The back speakers had foam baffles, and there was not problems with them. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I bought these spreakers for rear doors of my 08 Ram 1500 to replace factory wizzer-cones. The Polks fit perfect and add a very nice overall balanced sound to my Kenwood HU. I am very pleased. Do not expext shallow 6 1/2s to produce a ton of bass, but the overal sound quality is very good. I added a powered sub to fill out the bass in this installation. Pros: Sound, price, fit. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Pretty Good Written By Alex A., Houston on Wednesday, May 01, 2013 Installed in a 1998 Jeep Cherokee Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have had these speakers for about 1 week now and they are doing Good. Very good Highs and Mids and the Bass is ok. Jeep factories had around the same amount of Bass but these PS's handle a little more volume with less distortion because there is some. I have them running off a JVC KD-X250BT Digital Media Reciever which i really like and even on the "normal" setting i get some distortion. but they are definetly a good speaker with nice crisp sound. 4 stars cause i have tried multiple setting to get great sound but have not found it yet. Shipment came on time, Good Quality, easy install even having to drill holes and Crutch sent me everything i needed. Thanks and i WOULD Definetly recommend these.

3 out of 5 Polk Audio db651s Written By cqlink, Detroit on Monday, June 10, 2013 Installed in a 2008 Dodge Dakota Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've purchased a number of Polk products. Quality is good. Sound is accurate for mid-priced speakers and subwoofers. I bought the db651s for my 2008 Dodge Dakota. Stock speakers appeared to be cheap Chinese made junk (c'mon Chrysler, are you ALREADY falling back on past mistakes made prior to the government bailout?). I replaced a total of four speakers in my truck and powered them with an RER MyGig factory unit. The db651s are simply too bright. Little to no bass with a factory unit. If one has an aftermarket unit allowing adjustment of crossover freqs, then they may provide SOME punch but even with bass maxed out on my factory unit, they disappoint in the bass department. Mid to high freq notes sound fine. Nice and clear. In the end, I had to buy a powered sub and line converter to get the sound I wanted in this small truck. Pros: Came with adapters to make installation easy. High freq sound reproduction is fine. Cruthfield service is excellent. They recommended stock speaker wire adapters to further facilitate/ ease installation. Unless you want to solder, but the wire adapters. Cons: Little to no bass when paired with factory head units.

5 out of 5 Easy to Install; Sound is clean Written By Dano B, Hakalau Hawaii on Wednesday, June 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The sound is clean, clear, and full. A great improvement over the factory speakers which looked very basic once I saw them out of the car doors. Plus, living in a rather wet area of the USA, having speakers that are for wet environments is a big plus. Polk speakers are hard to beat. Door mount plastic plates were designed perfect to hold the speakers. Plus the wiring was a cinch. Pros: Easy to install; sound clean and full. Cons: None at all. Was this review helpful? Yes | No
4 out of 5 Polk Audio db651s Written By Jack, Houston, TX on Monday, June 03, 2013 Installed in a 2000 Honda S2000 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Crutchfield made it so easy to find the speakers I needed and provided me with detailed instructions on how to install them. My Honda S2000 is over 13 years old and the right side speaker went bad. The pair of Crutchfield speakers were much less expensive than one replacement speaker from Honda and came with instructions. It has been years since I bought a product from Crutchfield but it won't be years before I go back! (P.S. The speakers also sound great!) Pros: Easy to order, detailed instructions for installation, right price. Cons: None. Was this review helpful? Yes | No

5 out of 5 Review of my Polk Audio db651s speakers. Written By JimB, Saratoga Springs, N.Y. on Friday, May 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The speakers perform exactly as expected. I had to replace the "Infinity" Speakers in the rear doors of my 2000 Dakota Quad Cab because one of them went belly up and started making scratchy noises on base notes. The replacement from Chrysler cost about $175 (for one speaker!!) so I decided good old Crutchfield was the sensible way to go. I got both of the db651s's (to have a matched set of course) for $100 complete with wire connectors, speaker mount adaptors and very good instructions. Nothing could have been easier and like I said before, they performed as good or better than the old speakers. Pros: Excellent quality, both for the money and compared to the much more expensive Chrysler "Infinity" speakers. Cons: It would be nice if the speakers came with some sort of dust filter over the cone like the "Infinity" speakers have. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No

5 out of 5 Nice speakers! Written By SE, Oakland, CA on Wednesday, May 15, 2013 Installed in a 1997 Dodge Neon Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great little speakers, didn't even bother hooking them up the the 4 channel amp in the trunk. Nice mids and highs. I feel like they are very easy to blow so I am very careful about how much power I give them. Pros: Crisp sound Cons: Mids sound kind of tinny. More horrible grills. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No
5 out of 5 Definite improvement Written By Kevin, Grand Rapids on Sunday, May 12, 2013 Installed in a 2009 Jeep Wrangler Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These are a great replacement speaker to upgrade from factory speakers. They have nice highs and well defined mids, although they are lacking in the bass (that is what the sub is for). Installation was almost perfect with the supplied wiring harness connector and adapter installation ring. The only issue when installing is that depending on the spacing of the existing holes in your vehicle, you might have to file/drill/cut the slot in the adapter ring to get the holes to line up. Pros: Great sound, easy installation Cons: Having to modify the adapter ring to get the holes to line up 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No

5 out of 5 Awesome Speakers! Written By KevinP, Orange,CA on Wednesday, May 08, 2013 I've had these speakers installed for 4 months in my rear deck of my Malibu Classic. I installed them myself with the Crutchfield included factory wire harness adapter and speaker mounting brackets. They are powered by a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X395. Let me tell you, these speakers are AWESOME! Produces good Lows and Crisp Highs. The Mids are clear as well although lost a little in comparison to the Lows. They are fairly punchy but if you want Bass that will kick you in the chest, install a sub. That is my next step. Great speakers, even at very high volumes Pros: Quality Speaker, Clear Lows, Crisp Highs, shallow mount depth, metal frame Cons: not as crisp in the Mids as some speakers 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

4 out of 5 A definite upgrade! Written By MES, Montana on Saturday, May 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed these speakers in a 2004 Silverado extended cab. I also put the 4x6 Polk plate speakers of the same series in the back for even sound They really brought added depth and clarity to the system. When the system is properly tuned, the result is impressive given suck small speakers. Pros: Easy install. They look great. Very good frequency range. Better than expected performance at higher volumes. Cons: The mounting kit supplied from Crutchfied (for free I might add) allows for some looseness when the speakers are installed in the door. This creates a rattle at certain bass frequencies. I suggest adding a couple of extra screws to secure the mounting plates, or using some foam as a cushion under the mounting plates. The back speakers had foam baffles, and there was not problems with them. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No
5 out of 5 Good speakers Written By 08DodgeRam, Charlotte, NC on Thursday, May 02, 2013 Installed in a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these spreakers for rear doors of my 08 Ram 1500 to replace factory wizzer-cones. The Polks fit perfect and add a very nice overall balanced sound to my Kenwood HU. I am very pleased. Do not expext shallow 6 1/2s to produce a ton of bass, but the overal sound quality is very good. I added a powered sub to fill out the bass in this installation. Pros: Sound, price, fit.

4 out of 5 Pretty Good Written By Alex A., Houston on Wednesday, May 01, 2013 Installed in a 1998 Jeep Cherokee Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have had these speakers for about 1 week now and they are doing Good. Very good Highs and Mids and the Bass is ok. Jeep factories had around the same amount of Bass but these PS's handle a little more volume with less distortion because there is some. I have them running off a JVC KD-X250BT Digital Media Reciever which i really like and even on the "normal" setting i get some distortion. but they are definetly a good speaker with nice crisp sound. 4 stars cause i have tried multiple setting to get great sound but have not found it yet. Shipment came on time, Good Quality, easy install even having to drill holes and Crutch sent me everything i needed. Thanks and i WOULD Definetly recommend these. Pros: Clean Highs and MIds Decent Bass Good Quality Cons: Some Distortion at moderate Volume Levels Was this review helpful? Yes | No
