by Crutchfield's Video Team

Polk DB plus car speakers are a customer favorite due to their great sound, durability, and high power handling. They're quite versatile, too, sensitive enough to play off a factory radio, but also able to run off a powerful amp. Jeep owners love them because they're marine certified and can handle a little splashing.

Compared to most factory speakers, there is no comparison when it comes to sound. The woofer cone is stiff yet lightweight, ensuring you get accurate sound and tight midbass. The silk dome tweeter really shines, giving you the nuanced highs your factory speakers can't.

The surrounds are made of rubber, which lasts a lot longer than foam or cloth surrounds. These speakers should put out great sound for years to come in any car audio system. If you have any questions about car speakers, please give us a call.

Only Jeeps? I put them on a boat but they will work great for motor cycles it's one of few models that have a fair price point that will. I'm confident they will handle direct rain on the cone without problems. These sound really good, As for power handling question it's not that big a deal, what is a big deal is how clean the amp is. I recommend rockford amps with the clip lights setup to the directions power wont be a problem. With my 17 years MECP installing as a paid pro I could set up a system by ear but becuse your doing the install at home without my background the Rockford amp is what you should use.Also use the suggested power wire system made by Rockford it will extend your warranty. Trust me you wont go wrong.

I read that these are 100 RMS/ 300 peak power for as wattage, is that per speaker or the pair together?

How it works

SpeakerCompare^™ simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you're using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that's why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Listening kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield's SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We've carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It's available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.

A solid choice for most applications, because they prioritize accuracy, without emphasizing bass or treble.

Bright
