Easy install
Crutchfield customer from Fairhope, AL on 1/24/2021
2005 Jeep Wrangler
Incredibly easy install. It is quite literally plug-and-play. The most difficult part for me was removing the existing screws as they had rusted and kept stripping out. The included instructions by Crutchfield were very clear and easy to understand. Shipping was quick and the online guide to picking the right speakers was terrific. As a novice audiophile , Crutchfield made it super easy for me to choose the right sounding speakers for my Jeep. My first time experience was wonderful and hopefully it will not be my last one. Good job Crutchfield.
Pros: Easy install, clear instructions, perfect fit
Cons: None

Exellent speakers for the money
Dereck from Winston-Salem, NC on 1/18/2021
2013 Ford Mustang
The DB+ 522s have excellent sound quality from a 2 way speaker. I was worried that these wouldn't sound any better than my factory 2013 Mustang Shaker component speakers, but I was pleasantly surprised. They don't have a lot of base by themselves, but if you expect a lot of base from a 5-1/4 speaker then you don't quite understand how speakers work. The SPL rating on these are high enough that they work well even though I replaced the louder factory 2 ohm units. They are crisp and clear and loud enough at max volume for my needs. Once I replace the factory head unit I'll probably get a 4 channel amp to drive them to their full potential. As a side note, during the install process I also discovered that the factory rear speakers were wired out of phase, so that may have been my sound quality issues to begin with.
Pros: Clear clean sound Rubber surrounds Stiff poly cones High SPL rating High quality Marine rated
Cons: Not the best for bottom mount applications, but still work ok.

Very nice speakers, this would be my 3rd set I have bought for my vehicles, they sound awesome, easy install and the pigtail they send for your vehicle just makes it so much easier. It's always great customer service when trying to find the best option for your vehicle.
Pros: Easy installation with the pigtail they provide, no extra drilling required. It was a direct replacement.

Not sure if it was worth it.
Crutchfield customer from Orange, CA on 9/14/2020
These were used to replace the stock speakers on a Kawasaki Voyager 1700 because the DB521 is no longer available. I did not replace the head unit or add an amp. They do sound better than the stock speakers, I thought there would be a lot better. They are slightly less efficient than the DB521 so there is more volume loss, and bass response is just average; I thought it would be better. Would I do it again? Not sure.
Pros: A clearer sound than stock speakers
Cons: not sure if it was worth it

Amazing Bass For The Speaker Size
Crutchfield customer from Marshall, TX on 8/15/2020
These sound amazing. At first I thought the 5 1/4" wouldn't give much bass given that they are replacing stock 6x9 speakers. However, my sub was unhooked by accident and I honestly thought that the bass on the speakers was really good. It was clean and defined bass rather than muddy and the mids and highs are very crisp. I'm hearing things in my music I didn't realize was there. I've replaced all four of my door speakers with these and I am very pleased!
Pros: Crisp mids and highs. Great bass for their size.

Replacing some older speakers in the overhead speaker bar that were beginning to sound tinny. The speakers didn't mate to the stock grill very well, I broke one screw out while trying to install. But it was an easy install with the Polk grills, which required no modification. The speakers have a full mid range sound that I like. In fact I was thinking of replacing the 10 year old Pioneer head unit but after rebalanceing for the new speakers I'll just leave it in place.

2008 Toyota 4Runner
Replacement rear door speakers for 08 4Runner keeping factory head unit (non-JBL). They sound awesome and pair nicely to the component Rockfords installed on front doors. Love the peel and stick "Polk" labels so you can keep stock grills and still let it be known you appreciate good audio products! Wish other manufacturers did that as it's a classy touch. If they thought of the little things then it's no surprise they have earned the reputation that they have.
Pros: Great sounding, excellent value, POLK audio peel and stick labels for factory grills
Cons: None.

Crutchfield customer from Arlington Hts, IL on 6/2/2020
These were a direct fit replacement in my 1989 BMW 325. They were easy to install. They are only 5 1/4 so expectations should be set and realistic. To get the best sound I'm going to keep going and get a separate sub. Depending on sound, perhaps go full circle and get an amp for these speakers - based on the sound and brand, I'm sure they would do well with more power.

These speakers sound great in the my 2005 Jeep Wrangler. I had a bit of a install issue. The speakers did not fit flat into the sound bar.

The speakers sound great and look great and work well with the kenwood I purchased with them.
Pros: Sound great

Worth every penny
Tyler from Rock Hill, SC on 5/14/2020
2010 Ford F-150 XL
I installed 4 of these in our family's pontoon and the sound is outstanding! I have it paired up with a kenwood 328bt marine head unit. They are so crisp and have plenty of low end where you can feel the floor on the boat vibrating some. These had the most frequency range in the available size and it shows. I ordered them 5/12 in the evening and received them 5/14 in the afternoon and had everything installed before supper so S/O to Crutchfield on shipping and customer service during COVID season!!!! These were on sale and I had a hard time finding exact replacements for the pontoon and these were perfect. They are marine rated so that's what I'm using them as so I'm hoping they hold up to the weather in upstate SC with the boat in the water most of the summer. I'll get some pictures this weekend and add them to this. THANKS CRUTCHFIELD!!!

Solid budget option speaker set
Crutchfield customer from Roswell, GA on 4/29/2020
2015 Volkswagen Jetta
I installed these in the rear doors of my 2015 VW Jetta and they sound pretty good. I originally had them hooked up to my Pioneer head unit using the factory wire adapters, but recently hooked them up to my MTX amp pushing 80 watts per channel at 4 ohms each. They sound much better when pushed with the amplified power. The highs are crisp, but the lows lack ever so slightly, probably due to the smaller 5.25 inch woofers. Overall I think these speakers are a solid purchase when building a system on a budget, like myself. I think these Polks will last quite a while in my car. Definitely recommend if you don't want to go crazy and get some high-end Focals or Infinitys.
Pros: Solid speaker set option for the price. Budget Friendly. Fantasitc high frequency response. Easy installation.
Cons: Low frequency response could be better.

These are a major upgrade from the 26 year old speakers my Jeep had. I can't wait to hear how they sound with a bigger and better amp to power them.
Pros: Great frequency range, can handle a lot of power

Crutchfield customer from Lock Haven, PA on 3/19/2020
They sound excellent. It was actually an easy swap out from the original factory speakers. I have followed the growth of Polk speakers since their beginning. I have always been impressed with their sound. This fact made it an easy choice for my speaker replacement. Their SDA RTA tower speakers were a great step up in sound reproduction and opened the "door" to REALISTIC sound. Keep up the good work. In case there was any doubt....I DO recommend these speakers.
Pros: Easy install.
Cons: None apparent.

Love these speakers I've consistently got my rig in damp locations and have found on other vehicles that marine grade speakers sound better longer than anything else. Ended up replacing these with the 6.5" version in my rear doors and tailgate for a more well rounded sound but all in all a really great durable speaker, especially when you consider the price.

Polk Audio DBs in my 1990 944
Crutchfield customer from Alameda, CA on 1/30/2020
I had a set of Polk audio DB 5 and 1/4 inches back in the 90s in my Miata and I love them. I just installed these in a 1990 Porsche 944 S2 cabriolet and it changed my driving experience. The soundstage it's hard to get correct in a convertible these do a very good job of giving me some bass, the highs are good. I would recommend he's to anyone that wants a really good speaker at a very good price. For those of you who have a car like mine these will fit in the space underneath the armrest with little to no modification to the door card.
Pros: All pros. Easy to install and they fit perfectly
Cons: None that I can see as far as my application

Not Bad
Joseph from LEOLA, PA on 1/22/2020
2011 MINI Cooper
These Polk speakers were installed in the lower door of a 2011 Mini Cooper-S, they have a nice sound, but they are a little light on the bass.
Pros: Polk quality, alway good.
Cons: The supplied speaker brackets did not fit, Crutchfield does not have any wire harnesses and no vehicle specific instruction. On-line search provided the necessary details along with instructions on how to use the factory speaker as a bracket (see attached picture) for the aftermarket speaker and the identification of factory speaker wires. If I can find this on-line why can't Crutchfield document it?

Too bright, no low end, harsh. What a bummer to spend the time installing and not be able to stand them. The highs are offensively too bright; have to turn treble settings all the way down. Don't know where they get 55Hz, sounds like 550Hz. Missing frequencies become very apparent and distracting. Bought from Crutchfield for their support and now have to pay return shipping.

I bought these to replace some cheap aftermarket speakers I had in my 2006 TJ. They fit right into the sound pods and Crutchfield sent me adapters so I didn't have the splice into the factory wiring, just plugged and played. They sound way better than what was in there. I can't wait to hook these up to my Amp.

Crutchfield customer from Edinburg, TX on 9/9/2019
Absolutely one of the best online experiences I have ever had. When I called them with questions about these speakers, the rep answered my questions quickly and methodically. I was so impressed that I placed the order with him over the phone. Arrival was just as promised. Everything was included to facilitate the installation on my Harley and even sent me a video on how to get to the spot to install them. All in all, it was a most satisfying experience. Speakers sound so much better than the factory speakers that came on my bike. Thank you, a satisfied customer.
Pros: Fit as promised and sound greaat.

No bass
Tom from Saginaw, MI on 5/9/2019

A lady at Crutchfield suggested these to even out too much treble in the dash speakers, WRONG, hardly any bass whatsoever, my factory speakers have way more bass. Going to put factory speakers back in if I can't find a more bass speaker. Can't return the speakers because I waited so long to put them in. Gets 1 star because I'm stuck with them.
Pros: Good sound overall.
Cons: Hardly any bass.

Clean and crisp - but no more
Crutchfield customer from Santee, CA on 5/7/2019
2006 Honda Odyssey
Clear crisp sound. Zero bass. I think these have less bass than the factory speakers I removed. I understand they are only 5.25" speakers, but to have little to no bass was a surprise to me. It could be that they are being driving by a Kenwood head unit and I need to upgrade to an Alpine - but I'm not sure. Obviously a subwoofer system will fix it.
Pros: Clean, crisp audio. Easy install. Brackets made them fit without modifications.
Cons: Zero bass.

Jeep upgrade
Crutchfield customer from Grandview, MO on 4/15/2019
I replaced the front dash speakers in my 2001 Jeep TJ with these and, although it improved the sound, it is nowhere near what I hoped for. Good sound but still weak compared to the sound bar. Even though these fit the stock sound bar, I chose not to use them in that location and I am really glad I made that choice as they don't have the oomph I was looking for.
Pros: Good clear sound but still small. Easy installation. Definite improvement over stock Jeep speakers
Cons: Did not meet my (unrealistic?) expectations

A step up from stock but far from amazing.
Crutchfield customer from Chattanooga, TN on 4/14/2019
These are ok. They were brighter and fuller than stock speakers but still lack depth. I tried them on head unit but later upgraded to an external amp. They fumble with bass and blurr with too much volume. So if you are looking to just replace blown factory and don't have a lot of expectations they will do fine. They are a perfect upgrade for the price but for a bit more money you can achieve a much better sound.
Pros: Water resistant Low power needed Better then stock
Cons: Lack brilliance and depth. Can't handle too much power or volume.

Crutchfield customer from Tuscaloosa, AL on 12/5/2018
2003 Jeep Wrangler
Purchased for 2003 Jeep wrangler front dash. These speakers replaced my original factory speakers. They have a clearer sound than the factory speakers but are not any louder and have less bass. My factory speakers were two ways and in a built in enclosures. To be fair I am only pushing 17 watts to the speakers and they really require more to get the full potential out of them. I have a Sony head unit but will be upgrading to something with blue tooth and more power soon. I have a pair of Kickers in the soundbar and they perform better with low power than the Polks. I may try putting some speaker mats around these also.
Pros: Cost, easy install thanks to wiring harness and mounting plate supplied by Crutchfield
Cons: Not really a con but as with any quality aftermarket speaker you will need an amp to see the real potential of the speakers.

2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
I wish I could say it sounded good. Unfortunately it didn't, if not a little worse than my 14 year old factory speakers. Just to be fair, I upgraded my head unit as well (DEH-S5120BT) and compared my old and new 2 pairs (front and rear) of Polk speakers. Kudos to Crutchfield for fast service and supplying necessary accessories made the installation a breeze. I will be keeping the speakers just because not worth the trouble returning, but IMO, don't consider this model as an upgrade, I do not recommend.
Pros: None
Cons: Speakers didn't come with gasket and factory nor Polk supplied grill doesn't fit.

Steve from Kennesaw, GA on 11/22/2018
2004 Subaru Forester
I put in a daily driver ( 04 Subaru Forester XT ) to minimize the miles/gas/extended warranty on my truck. Doors get a significant amount of water in them, so I chose these. For the price I couldn't be happier. Well worth it, & with only after market head unit pushing them, the bass is better than with the rear stock " sub ". AS WITH MOST SPEAKERS, FINDING THE RIGHT TUNING IN YOUR SETTINGS allows for adequate bass. Definitely would buy again (3rd time).
Pros: Marine certified.

So far a vast improvement over stock! The adapters crutchfield includes (thank you Crutchfield!) fit perfect in my Jeep TJ dash no trimming or modifications required. Currently only pushing them with the head unit, will be amping up the power here soon, pun intended, and we'll see how it goes. These are already way clearer than the factory paper jobs that I had, very crisp clean sound under low power, can't wait to see how they wake up once driven With some real power.

Great sounding speakers with impressive clarity. There isn't much low end (it could be largely due to my vehicle's setup), so you may want/need a small sub to balance out the sound. For my application, they required "speaker pods" (or baffles), but that's a consequence of the location in my vehicle, not the speakers.
Pros: Marine Certified Fairly Well Priced Clear
Cons: May require a subwoofer

Fabulous Service
Crutchfield customer from Panaca, NV on 8/20/2018
I used to purchase from Crutchfield all the time. And then I forgot. I forgot the quality product. I forgot the ease of ordering. More importantly, I forgot the professional and courteous service. So I went to a giant online seller where everything I received was wrong. Crutchfield researches every unit and every car and they know. I am so satisfied right now. Thank you Crutchfield!!!
Pros: Reliable real person service
Cons: None

Crutchfield customer from Bath, NY on 8/14/2018
Good sound but Front speakers needed filing/grinding to fit and at 3/4 volume they were distorted
Pros: Decent sound.
Cons: Fit wasn't great. Nothing I couldn't fix with a grinder

Polk way better than stock 12 watt
BRIAN from Lk Hopatcong on 7/21/2018
2018 Jeep Compass
Good replacement for the stock 2018 Jeep Compass. Adapter and connector good fit just need to enlarge holes so stock screws can be used. Also when securing speaker to the adapter spend the money on small bolt/washer/lock washer/nut, the screws that come with speakers are useless. Also don't waste your money on the tools because I did and they were useless on the Jeep Compass door.
Pros: Very clear sound, crisp. easy to install.
Cons: skip the tool purchase. slight modification may be need in securing to door (that's by choice)

Not much change with stock radio, but really nice with Sony MegaBass
Bill from Hamtramck, MI on 5/20/2018
2004 Honda Civic
I put these in my 2004 Civic (rear speakers) first, and then replaced the stock head unit with a Sony WX-GS920BH a couple weeks later. With the stock radio, the treble improved in the back, but that was about it. When I turned it up, it gave an unhealthy, almost-clipping sound just as easily as the stock front speakers. The better head unit went in last night, and at first, these still weren't a big change from the stock speakers in the front. As I was playing with the settings, though, I tried the MegaBass. I was a bit hesitant, with the little 5.25" (seemed smaller when I held them) speaker and no sub, yet, but it was a night and day difference. Not a hint of clipping up to louder than I want to play them and, while the volume increase was about the same in front and back, these were suddenly dramatically crisper than the stock speakers up front.
Pros: Sony MegaBass loves them. Nice treble.
Cons: Not a big change from the stock speakers, *if* you keep the stock head. A lot smaller than the stock rear speakers on a 2004 Civic.

2015 Kawasaki Vaquero
Bought these for my 2015 Kawasaki Vaquero. I first replaced the stock OEM's with the METRIX KVR52's. They definitely sounded better but these POLK DB522's sound even better than those. The fit is direct. The terminals are just a bit off size but a quick light crimp and they are fine. As always, CRUTCHFIELD is perfect to deal with. Chad in the chat recommended these. The open box price was even better because you don't use the POLK grills. The OEM fit right back on

I love my new speakers! They fit my 04 PT Cruiser in the front doors. Factories were a piece of "s" and barely even worked. These are a 1000% better. Deep bass and crystal clear sound......oh and I still have my stock radio. It feels like I am running a small amp to them. Can't wait to replace my rear pillar speakers with these.
Pros: Powerful. Solid bass and crystal clear highs
Cons: The info sheet didnt come with the bracket install but I figured it out.

Great price point, great sound quality and low profile, which was what I was looking for. I also really love the fact that they are "weather resistant." I am confident that they can go the distance in my 4WD vehicle, that sees some extreme conditions. I did not use the grill, as the speaker had to sit behind my truck's door panel.
