Polk Audio

Why replace your car's original speakers?

The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience.

Our take on the Polk Audio db651s

by Leigh Schoettinger

Good music becomes great when you hear it through Polk's db Series car speakers. Polk engineers use laser imaging to determine the ideal combination of speaker materials and design to eliminate distortion. The resulting technology produces speakers with smooth frequency response, sharp detail, and the ability to play music at high volumes without strain.

Polk's db651s shallow-mount speakers feature 6-1/2" woofers made from a polymer/mica composite and durable rubber surrounds that stand up to heat and moisture. Liquid-cooled 3/4" silk/polymer dome tweeters use powerful Neodymium magnets to deliver precise high-frequency reproduction. With a 2" mounting depth, these speakers can fit into some tight places. The built-in two-way crossovers keep the high and low frequencies flowing to the proper drivers for seamless, efficient audio.

These speakers feature stainless steel mounting hardware and muscular ABS grilles that will add a stylish touch to your car's interior.

Highlights:

  • 6-1/2" 2-way car speakers for shallow mounts
  • Dynamic Balance polymer/mica composite woofer with butyl rubber surround
  • 3/4" liquid-cooled silk/polymer composite dome tweeter
  • Neodymium tweeter magnet

    Features

    Dynamic Balance: Dynamic Balance is a proprietary Polk Audio technology using laser imaging to determine what combination of speaker materials create the least amount of resonance. Eliminating resonance in speakers results in a wide, smooth response and low distortion.

    Woofer Cones: Each speaker features a Dynamic Balance polymer/mica composite mineral-filled cone. The cones are stiff and lightweight for big sound and low distortion.

    Butyl Rubber Surrounds: For a smoother response and improved durability, the woofers use butyl rubber surrounds.

    Kapton Voice Coil Former: The low-mass Kapton Voice Coil former is lightweight for high sound output. Kapton's high melting temperature (725°F) ensures high power handling and longer reliability.

    Silk/Polymer Composite Tweeters: The 3/4" liquid-cooled, silk/polymer composite tweeters provide clear, detailed highs. The tweeters use neodymium magnets.

    2-way Crossover Network: The built-in 2-way crossover network sends the appropriate frequencies to each driver for cleaner sound and better imaging.

    Grilles: Strong ABS plastic grilles are included. These computer optimized grilles are based on exclusive MOMO designs.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    Installed these in the front doord of my Honda Accord 1997 VP along witg doubd ordinance 2 way 6x9 in the rear deck. I did not want to change factory radio and these a re a great improvement over stock speakers. Mush cleaner,clearer and a bit louder. Total install time 1/2 hour. Just basic tools needed. Crutchfield supplies all adapters brackets and step by step instructions. For the price I am amazed at the sound difference. Tight bass and clean clear highs, NO Distortion, You will love this set up, Looking forward to adding a speaker level amp next for the extra boost. thanks Crutchfield.
    Pros:
    build quality. tight bass and clear highs Simple install
    Cons:
    Will need a seperate amp to sould their best

    Great Sound Quality for the Price

    Written By ASacredCow, Madison, WI on Wednesday, March 13, 2013
    Installed in a 2002 Honda CRV LX
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Have four of these hooked up to my JVC KD-A735BT receiver in my 2002 Honda CR-V. The instructions and mounting harness kits that came free with these (this is why I love you, Crutchfield!) worked very well, solid installation. As for the speakers, the highs and mids sound amazing for the price. Bass is alright, sounds crisp with the music I listen to (Rock, Ska, Reggae) but if you listen to a lot of Hip Hop/Rap with deep, loud bass, you're going to want to either hook a sub up to your system and send all the bass to that or find speakers with better bass than these.
    Pros:
    Easy installation, Overall crisp, clean and accurate sound, amazing mids (especially for the price), Quality materials used making these
    Cons:
    Loud, low bass frequencies tend to heavily distort at high volumes

    CAUTION

    Written By Morgan, Lynchburg, VA on Wednesday, March 13, 2013
     
    These speakers or exceptional if you are ONLY replacing your factory speakers and using your EOM deck. I, on the other hand, amped these speakers on an aftermarket deck and within 6 months they blew. They have a VERY SMALL magnet, so if you are looking for comp sound and longevity....these are not your speakers. I am not bashing the quality! They sound excellent as a EOM replacement, but if you are looking to step up the volume consider another set like the Kicker Comp.
    Pros:
    All around great sound, and excellent value
    Cons:
    does not last when amped!
