The best customer reviews 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Base excellent replacement for the factory radio at a low cost by replacing the IN Bagby died, the factory radio in my 2005 Hyundai Elantra dull with this Kenwood. For the price of U.S. $ 100, I'm impressed. The unit sounds as good as it sounds. Even with the factory speakers, the improvement is impressive to the factory radio. It has lots of energy and two preamp outputs (rare on the radio lower prices), which is ready for an amp and sub, I do not see myself adding one, but it's there. It plays your MP3 and WMA CD with ease. The loading time is fast and also has a feature that improves the frequency response of low bit rate MP3 files. The remote is a nice touch, again, not very common in low-end radios. What I like is the VFD. You can read this text bright and clear to all appearances, and unlike LCD, VFD in the "dark" in extreme heat, or "delay" in extreme cold. I love the retro look of the VFD to appreciate but really the bright bold that reads simply mounted in front of 1 / 8 line is a plus, and the blue backlighting for easy night to connect my MD Walkman do on the spot. What really impressed me is the quality of the tuner. FM front is one of the best I've ever used. I hear the factory radio was deaf to very good selectivity. While driving in downtown Atlanta at the end 100kW dozen FM, Kenwood never surpassed. I listened to a station located over 70 miles of Macon with ease, could not bypass the factory radio and would be overwhelmed by the nearby stations. The quality of FM is excellent, excellent frequency response and S / N ratio. AM is pretty hot as well. It is a good choice for FM DX'ing. MOSFET has a lot of power 22W x 4, and drive most speakers easily but must be careful when using the factory speakers that this amount of energy that can easily overwhelm the installation is simple as it is with all DIN radio 02:01. In my Hyundai, I had to use a single batch so there was no difference in the fascia board. Most of Toyota, Nissan, Honda installed and must be less than 30 minutes if you have the correct wiring adapter. Hats off to Kenwood, for the price I am more than satisfied. Take more VFD! July 6 found this review helpful. High quality at a low price for the Kenwood MP Stuart MA-242 is absolutely fantastic! Real clean sound crystal clear and the bass boost EQ top will make any big stereo speakers. Easy to navigate controls, looks very nice with light blue background. Perfect for an iPod and a decent price for such high quality. You can dim the display for night driving and no annoying beep like so many other modern cars, I love it! 2 of 2 people found this review helpful. Large value of D. Hughes, I was looking for a simple CD player to an old Blaupunkt cassette player, which lasted an incredible 14 years to replace. This device has features that I will never use, but powerful amplifier is the best feature. As with most modern electronics, the controls are far from intuitive, but I thought it out eventually and it works well. All 5 reviews ....

The best customer reviews 19 of 19 people found this review helpful. Big boat Stereo LTC B This is the third stereo I had in my boat and I like it. It has lots of features and very easy to install. Based on the two stereo that I use, play it fair, charger and allow my children to use their MP3 players. I especially like the ability to put an MP3 CD and have it play randomly play all afternoon. Some stereos take a while to find the next random song, it makes it very fast, which is a big advantage. The wireless remote is a nice feature, but was above the stereo. The only downside is when you change the volume if you accidentally press the volume button, go to the setup menu. Just a bit of a nuisance. October 10 people found this review helpful. Big Stereo live through the summer I bought a Ski Centurion Elite V 22 'boat and wanted the stereo system of the existing Alpine unit (which had an i-pod port) and the older marine speakers I installed this Sony amp upgrade, along with Sony Marine Stereo and 6 CDXM60UI Polk DB-651 speakers (four in the boat and two on the tower). This combination has a clean, clear sound even at higher volumes, with a nice bass. I am so impressed with this Sony Stereo and all its functions. My installer was impressed with the way this system sounded. I would highly recommend. 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Big Stereo D. Handy bought this unit to replace my old. Does the USB iPod interface. Great unit. Local iPod interface is a little difficult to use, but the MODE button a few seconds to keep the UI back to the iPod, which is a must with children on the boat. Added a USB extension so that children could be connected behind the driver's seat and change songs, so you can concentrate on the disk drive has a lot of energy, sub products separately. One thing I recommend is the shortening of "auto-off feature, so that boats do not operate the battery at night. See all 14 customer reviews ....

I have it under control with a 52 (peak) 4-X controller and they still react damn good and has plenty of bass for the size. Unfortunately, my controller is not allowed to light up these babies, so I have invested in an amplifier. I know it will be updated rampaging second day and night when I replace the speakers in my work. I recommend this. Edit: I now supply them with 80 watts per channel (4 channels and a separate submenu with another amp). You Rock the house. Excellent sound and value. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Excellent sound and quality! K. Villarreal Bought these speakers to the Alpine speakers factory installed on my 05 'Chevy TrailBlazer and the difference in sound quality is amazing replacements! The ups and downs are much sharper and clearer to go with a low hit my factory system well without an amp also. After reading many reviews and comparing different speakers, the Alpines are the way to go. It was not only based on price (which was great by the way), but also the reputation and quality. Installation was simple and took only about one hour to install four speakers for front and rear doors. (This included removing and reinstalling the door panels), no need to use copper speaker) I went to a local car stereo installer and he wanted around $ 100 dollars, with a waiting time of four hours. Save your money and how you google for your specific vehicle door panels to remove and you can hear a better sound with your factory or aftermarket system. I recommend it. You will not be disappointed! Joe Fort Sill, OK 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful great for the price and in good condition. By Shawn M. Springer bought some in an open box from Best Buy for 89.99 plus taxes and got them for $ 30 cheaper online at Amazon. good speakers for the money. I am currently running it my head unit and they put a lot of sound, good midrange and treble. When I walk away an amp I would go with the R-series. I have two Alpine 10 "Type R series subs with a 500W Phoenix Gold amps and they sound good with four 6.5 Type S" very rich sound. Not much bass do not expect the 6.5 "only. .... All 36 reviews

Expectations have been exceeded for the sound of J. Mamaradlo Set in four of the first car of my son, got a used 1990 BMW 325i E30 off craigslist. It came with a JVC in-dash stereo speakers original BMW, I think. The new Infiniti seemed good enough for my son 16 years old, said he does not need a subwoofer and amplifier. It 'been struck by the fact that I was too. I spent almost twice as much for some Polk Audio. Less than $ 88 dollars for 4 delievered new speakers who have made this sound like a BMW ol'school 2011 or higher. Surprised by the sound quality of what we paid. He also received two days of shipment earlier than expected. I have to get the infinite Basslink but if my son 16 years old saying it sounds good, is good enough.

My first was a much older model, and after what seems like easy 6 or 7 years of faithful service, I have decided to update. USB port on the front is what it is worth upgrading. I can put thousands of songs at a dirt cheap ThumbDrive and MP3-CD is not anything to worry about passing my car. The control unit also breathed new life into my 11 year old Volvo factory speakers. I had no idea that they sound as good as they could do. I still have plans for a newly acquired set of boston acoustic 6.5 "speaker has been in the front doors, but I am rethinking my decision to also upgrade the rear door and rear deck speakers. As far as the things about the device I do not like they are very low. Only the 1 ~ 6 buttons Playback options and what can not be controlled. The number buttons are easy to read, because it is lit, but the features are in a gray text that makes it difficult to read before actually reading the manual, I did not know how to stop playback. The number 6 button does, but I would not know by looking at the device because of the small play / pause tag is almost impossible to read. Furthermore, by adjusting the bass, midrange and treble, as my old unit, they can only to 8. Why eight? Why not 10? Kenwood, this makes no sense. Stop now. Although I am disappointed a bit to see the mute button away from the device. I have used quite often in my older, but I guess you have to save something for the units that cost more than $ 110. : D Anyway, minor ailments and that's it. The unit sounds good, and aside from a first to find out what the little buttons, I really like. The music is easy to listen to the interstate as well. It was an unexpected surprise. 15 of 16 people found the following review helpful fantastic! C. Nunez, I bought a JVC El Cameleon for my car. One reason was the Bluetooth option on my phone. After the experiment, the volume several times and everything changed, but the volume (due to the digital display), I went and I bought this marvel. Here also was the reason that I have the bluetooth for my cell phone (which is huge btw.) You can buy a Bluetooth adapter can be had separately. Well, when I moved and have just turned on it was great, just listen to radio, I realized the difference between Kenwood and other brands. It was clear, crisp with the right amount of highs and lows, and has the punch that you feel that the right is purchased. In addition, it is has a strong feeling, it seems simple but has many features that you need to learn the manual, but if you learn to program, it's fantastic. It has inputs for everything that before you want to connect a USB memory stick and you can control your iPod from the main unit or the bluetooth for iPod works perfectly with my BlackBerry Pearl with the operating system upgrade, I can listen to music and it sounds beautiful. You will not regret buying this its a safe buy! 15 of 16 people found this review helpful. Kenwood manufactures quality products - has said enough of P. Repage iTouch, CD, tuner, flash drive, all the work without any problems to the control unit, with sufficient power for the average user. If you're one of those "I want to feel the bass shake the car" kind of person, you will need a separate amplifier. The control surfaces are well made and feel sturdy, not typical for radio purchases for this price range. The only downside - not a do-it-yourself project. I tried to install this radio in my Honda Civic Nanny (I do not always do it because, being a doctor, I am not writing in automotive electronics.) ) Peace of mind after seeing comments ePinionscom explained as "simplistic" or "intuitive", which was to install an "Average Joe," I took on the task. Well, if you're not an experienced radio engineer, not try - you can damage your starting dash.

I was pregnant camp for a while, but when I heard the first hand is connected to a 4-channel amplifier 400 watts, I was at the clarity, volume, and the warm and bright surprise. I can not wait until the mid / high for the 12 "Type-R sub (s) match. You'll definitely want to bass after listening to those without in a combo box / AMP, because the crosses deep from the tones, although it is "punchy mid-bass." 17 of 19 people found this review helpful. great noise by W.

My first model was a much older and after what seems to be easily 6 or 7 years of faithful service, I decided to upgrade. The USB port on the front is what it's worth the upgrade. Can I put thousands of songs on a USB stick very cheap and not have to worry about all the MP3 CD in my car. The radio also has new life 11 years at the factory speakers Volvo. I had no idea of ​​sound as good as them. I still plan to put recently acquired a set of Boston Acoustic 6.5 "speakers in front doors, but I'm rethinking my decision to update the back door and rear deck speakers. In For things I do not like the unit, but much lower. For one, the 1 ~ 6 buttons control the playback options and what not. The number buttons are easy to read, because it is lit, but the features are in a gray text that makes it difficult to read before actually reading the manual, I did not know how to stop playback. The number 6 button does, but I would not know by looking at the device because of the small play / pause tag is almost impossible to read. Furthermore, by adjusting the bass, midrange and treble, as my old unit, they can only to 8. Why eight? Why not 10? Kenwood, this makes no sense. Stop now. Although I am disappointed a bit to see the mute button away from the device. I have used quite often in my older, but I guess you have to save something for the units that cost more than $ 110. : D Anyway, minor ailments and that's it. The unit sounds good, and aside from a first to find out what the little buttons, I really like. The music is easy to listen to the interstate as well. It was an unexpected surprise. 15 of 16 people found the following review helpful Fantastic! By C. I bought a JVC El Nunez cameleon for my car. One reason was the option of bluetooth for my phone. After trying a few times to change the volume and everything but the volume (due to the digital display) to increase I went back and bought this wonder. Again the reason was that I bluetooth from my mobile phone (which is huge btw.) You can use a Bluetooth adapter to purchase necessary. Well, when I surfaced and it was great, just listen to the radio, I realized the difference between Kenwood and other brands. It was clear and bright with the right amount of bass and treble, and has the punch that makes you feel that you have purchased the right one. It also has a strong sense, it seems simple but has many features, you need the manual to learn, but if you learn to program is fantastic. It has inputs for everything before you work to connect to a USB stick and you can connect the iPod from the main unit or the iPod Bluetooth Control update perfectly with my BlackBerry Pearl with the OS want, I can hear the music and the sounds nice one.

Fortunately, I had read other reviews, so I'm not surprised the short duration and it works for me. Some things you should know: * As mentioned by others, this is not a cable 6 '. The technical details are correct 2.5 'length, but the description is wrong. * The retractor mechanism is a bit 'cheap and I got tangled a couple of times. That said, I've always been able to clarify and recovered. * The rubber around the end cap is a good size for most iPod and stereo inputs, but it is too large for the iPhone audio jack in one. I took a sharp knife at one end of the cable and shaved on the sides, then it worked fine, even for the recessed iPhone jack. It was not too difficult to do, even if the cable does not look too good now.

Great value for the components boasts John I bought this to replace the existing one pillar tweeters in a Honda Element is the first stage of a stereo upgrade. After installing them (a total cakewalk), I realized they made a difference that was missing from the storage system. The pictures are beautiful now, and it stimulates the high demand for a way forward. Crystal and they take power, with no distortion at max volume. Best upgrade for my toaster. A very simple system installation as well. National treatment is a great company to do business.

Fantastic sound and editing options EngrPaul installed this year to replace 03 Honda Accord to the A-pillar tweeters, the sound shrill at the outset. There are a few options on how to mount, I have chosen to build, it was very easy to get a hole for the cup treble keeps creating. The cup has a generous lip, so you cut raw edge is hidden. When four-legged metal bracket mounted to the rear by a screw to lock the cup. The tweeter is pushed into the cup as an eye in a socket. Once installed, you can "eyeball" tweeter goal in the cup so that the tweeter can be aimed at the listener to some extent. I used the stock crossover without modification. The result: FANTASTIC! I can not remember the stereo sounds better. I was forced to back off the treble to the "center" position, while I had the close up of the day I bought the car in '03. Now Tamborine music, cymbals, and vocals sound crystal clear and life like. I was so impressed by Polk Audio, I also splurged for db651s coaxial front and rear door speakers. No changes on my main drive. Now the package is complete clarity is even better in the midrange. Even with the improvements of the speakers, tweeters they made the biggest difference to my system. They are more efficient and visually appealing than I could have imagined. UPDATE: I love the crisp sound but not the last of these tweeters So I went to get a set for my '02 Honda S2000. Fit perfectly in this car, without any cuts. I can not say enough about how I bring these car stereos for a living. May 4 people found the following review helpful. By C. Excellent Rutherford recently I decided to upgrade the speaker system in my Infiniti G35 Sport Coupe 2003. As the car comes with what is supposed to Bose speakers, we have found that the components are not actually made by Bose and although I'm not picking on this subject, the coupe is really needed help in the audio department. Low bad, cloudy mid-range and tweeters - well, if you tried really hard you can really say that one kind of sound came from the tweeter them The G35 is the location of the upper front of the door panel, a perfect location for tweeters. The installation took a little technique I wanted to supply connections and mounting hardware to use, but if you're handy with tools is a simple procedure. They are a perfect fit and once installed the panels back, you never know what they had changed until you turned on the system. Wow, now I can really hear the tweeters and rich tones that are very different. I usually hear a lot of satellite radio, along with a personal CD collection and the change in the system is on par with more peace, more expensive cars. The G35 Sport Coupe is a very interesting combination of luxury and performance, but there are trade-offs in each area. A quiet machine, it is not, so that the sound system must be able to overcome the noise of something that is not only strong and durable Tweeters Polk Audio is a significant improvement in this area and I recommend them highly enough.

DS-Series Coaxial Speakers provide the cost-effective ammo to keep up with your bass upgrade. Click to enlarge. DS Speakers are the best value for serious, drop-in upgrades in your doors. The woofers bear a polypropylene cone, UV-treated ribbed surround, enduring voice coil, and an interior-pleasing fresh look. The half-inch tweeters take the performance cues of higher-end coaxials, using a super-strong neodymium magnet and PEI (polyether imide) dome for louder, better-sounding highs. The DS Series comes in eight different sizes, including the new DS650 with 6.5-inch midrange drivers. DS Coaxials fit any speaker cutout, starting from the 3.5-inch DS350 up to a handy 6 x 8 DS680 if your ride requires them.

Client more useful to 6 of 6 people found this review helpful. Great speakers, good bass, clear sound. By John 07DS600 Kicker speakers are an excellent speaker with a clear sound and plenty of bass. I just need fronts for 2-door Honda Civic, and produces more than enough to keep pounding piano and voice sound clear. The bass does not rattle the windows or mirrors shake, but still more than enough for one to "feel" the rhythm. Besides great sound, they also seem to be very resistant to extreme temperatures from hot to cold. I will definitely buy these again, though I do not think I would need. 3 of 3 people found this review helpful. 07DS600 Kicker 2-way car speakers for 6-1/2 "and 6-3/4" speaker openings of James W. Swain Very reasonable for the quality of the sound you get from them. The highs are clear without any crackling at full volume from my factory head units Chevy.

I ordered the same time as an infinity 4 x 75 Watt amplifier, and install almost, because it sounded so good. After the change of drive power head, a high power amplifier, I noticed tighter bass, deeper reach, more punch and a higher level of volume before distortion (in fact, with the amp I can put it even higher than I could walking on a possible break-up with the head unit you might get told to cut at higher levels.)

Darryl Pierce, I had these installed in a Honda Accord the 2011th I did not specifically ask them to audition these speakers or before you install. (1 error) I just knew I had to go to the factory speakers. I just told the dealer to put audio only in some of the speakers, as they have done really well for my Explorer. (They have installed a JL Audio speaker at the time) I paid 79.00 for these installation +. Actually they are the only way I knew was Powerbase speakers have been left in the box in the car after installation. When I saw "Made in China", my curiosity got the best of me, so I researched online, I should have done before, but anyway, I still would have been fine with these speakers other than the price I paid. So far the speakers, while a marked improvement over the OEM factory, the sound is not improved dramatically with the exception of certain types of music. ( (Classical, Jazz) They are very light, ie the top and midrange sounds are good, but they tend to be a hollow bass sound I think it would be the case in the Honda to have . Honda is not the entire door cabinets and they have only a small separate enclosure for speakers, so most of your base comes from the subwoofer to the rear. All in all, the speakers are just ok as itnitial listening test. They do not seem to interfere with a high volume and did I mention that they are really bright. I can actually hear some of the digital artifacts that occaisionally appear in compressed music. I had to turn down the treble to a, was set to 3 with the factory speakers. Bass was increased to 1 + 0. The subwoofer was turned into one of -1 to compensate for the lack of low-to midrange Baas. These are not the most efficient speakers you can buy. 88 dB is a bit on the low side of the car speakers. 90-91 is what I would have seen was the first study, 88 would be good if you use a more powerful unit or amplifier head. Although the Honda radio is rated at 270 watts, which is shared with six speakers and a sub. The submarine is probably between 90 and 100 of the 270th I'll be a long road trip in a couple weeks and really listen to a lot of music on the go. I'll come back and update this reveiw in a couple weeks, but I would say that these speakers are likely to satisfy 80 to 90% of people who buy them, and the satisfaction of the speakers is very subjective. There are many factors that determine how they sound. The type of vehicle, the main unit, the type of music and above all, listen to the person. What sounds good to me, may sound like crap to you, so be careful when reading reviews of speakers, including me. 0 of 0 people found this review helpful. Great speakers! By jmh These are great speakers. I do not know why anyone else would say, unless they just do not know what this sound is heavily influenced by their size and the tweeters are not hard like most others. They get nice and loud without distortion. Do not be afraid to paper cones. They continue to produce the best sound quality without listening fatigue. For the price, you can not touch. 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. You can spend more, but why? By Bob Brown, I recently bought this speaker 6-1/2 inch power bass as a replacement for my 2006 Pontiac. I was a bit skeptical when ordering, because I had never heard of this before with my own ears, but I based my decision on the recommendation of an old friend. After installing the speaker in the factory I could not wait to get back on the radio and listen to my favorite CD. Wow I was impressed! The sound was much cleaner and louder than the factory speakers I replaced. The Power Bass uses a silk dome and much more expensive Polk Audio 6-1/2 and wow you can hear the difference, the vocals are crystal clear and the sound of an acoustic.

Infinity Reference 6030cs 6.5-Inch 270-Watt Two-Way Component System

Looking for a more moving audio experience? Take Infinity car audio for a ride. Innovative materials and breakthrough engineering have always put Infinity products out in front of the competition’s. So expect extreme output from these speakers, but be prepared for accuracy and detail that may surprise you. Infinity Reference Series loudspeakers continue to be the top-selling premium speakers in the world. For instance, the 6-1/2-inch Reference coaxial model has been the number-one-selling car audio multielement speaker for five years straight. With proprietary features such as patent-pending Plus One cones, true 4-ohm topology, UniPivot edge-driven tweeters and the industry-leading Intermount III and I-Mount mounting systems, as well as the Starfish tweeter-mounting adapter, Reference Series speakers leave the competition scrambling to keep up.

Infinity's 6030cs is a 6-1/4-inch, two-way component system including Plus One woofer and 1-inch textile dome tweeter with I-mount tweeter kit and Starfish OEM adapter. The Infinity Reference Series Infinity's Reference Series has been engineered to deliver best-in-class performance for those looking to replace or upgrade their factory speakers. Features like Infinity's Plus One (patent pending) woofer cones and edge-driven-dome tweeters have helped position Infinity Reference as the number-one line of automotive loudspeakers for the past six years straight. Component Systems are the perfect platform when developing a system with superior imaging and staging. Infinity 6030cs Features Plus One woofer cones This patent pending technology deliver a cone with more surface area than competing models of the same size. The result is increased bass output and higher efficiency. Rubber surrounds This woofer surround material provides optimum cone-edge suspension and absorbs distortions that may travel up the cone edge, adding stronger low-end. True Four Ohms All Reference speakers feature two ohm voice coils. Original factory-installed speaker wiring in many cars is 18-22 gauge. This wire, and heating in the voice coil when power is applied, increase the impedance "seen" by the amplifier or head unit. The impedance of Reference Speakers has been adjusted to compensate for this increase and can be safely driven by any head unit. Edge-driven textile dome tweeter These are not commonly used w-domes, but fully-edge-driven domes like those found in better home audio speakers. The benefit is increased power handling and reduced distortion at high output levels. This technology also allows for better integration with the mid/woofer. Crossover network with tweeter adjustment Each Infinity Reference component system includes a pair of laboratory optimized passive crossover networks that include tweeter adjustment. If the tweeters are located low in the doors or if you are looking for a brighter sound, you can set the tweeter at +3dB. Versatile Mounting To facilitate proper installation and location of the tweeter, each Reference component system includes Infinity's patented I-Mount (patent no. 5,859,917) tweeter mounting kit including the Starfish OEM adapter.

I bought these speakers to replace the stock Infinity speakers that were already in the car. It installs easily and sounds even better than the standard that is also used. I'm so glad I had these as a replacement. 3 of 3 people found this review helpful. Exploratory the big box, and even better if you add an amplifier. From Pacman I bought a set of these about 6 months ago to replace the front speakers Infinity Dodge factory that blew up in my Durango. I just installed and maintained the factory amplifier and install crossover included. They played pretty well (the high was much better than the factory tweeters), but lacked the low end, unless the volume was pushed up. Not a huge problem since I also have a small subwoofer, but it was obvious. When I returned pair of Infinity dead factory, buy a couple more and this time they installed the new front and rear and added a spare amp (Kicker ZX3504, 90 watts per channel amplifier). What a difference! The sound came alive. The depressions of these are amazing and I almost did not dive (almost. .. these speakers seem to be good to about 80Hz, then fall quickly, my sub is good for the lows and I met for this all 80Hz) . However, up to 80Hz is really good for 6 inch door speakers! Of course, with large doors Durango probably great help! However, if you have found these to your vehicle, and you want them to sound their best, you should really back with a spare amp and use the crossover included. Otherwise, they sound even better than the factory speakers, even the "premium" ones! I am very happy with them. 2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Polk Audio's db Series Polk Audio's entire db line of coaxial and component speakers has been redesigned and re-engineered with superior looks and even better sound. Polk has added three new sizes to cover a broader range of vehicle applications. And they've done all that at prices that make high performance affordable to everyone! The db Series works well in OEM factory systems, as well as with high-powered aftermarket head units and component power amps. The db Series delivers classic Polk Audio performance and durability like never before. This is how you turn up the style. The look is about more than performance. It's about making every detail count, from the wiring harness under the hood to the fit and finish of your loudspeaker installs. Even before you fire them up, the db Series delivers. ABS wheel-inspired grilles make a muscular statement about your entire audio system and say you're ready to unleash some real sound. Hidden wire channels give your system a clean, professional look. Now if you'd prefer to be more subtle about your audio system (although why would you?), db makes a comfortable stealth installation and will mount easily behind factory grilles. The db Series fits. Yes, it's just that simple. The last thing Polk wants is to sell you a great speaker that doesn't fit. Our new multi-hole mounting pattern and shallow-depth magnet design have created our highest vehicle application ratio for easy drop-in installations in just about any car on the road (and probably some that should have been taken off the road years ago). Tweeters in the component models can be flush & surface-swivel mounted using the supplied hardware. With db, we've made sure you have maximum install flexibility. High Efficiency Design It means less amplifier power is needed for more audio output. Meaning better sound and more volume using less power. The bottom line is db Loudspeakers will definitely blow you and your friends away, whether they're driven by aftermarket head units or factory installed electronics. Marine Certified Marine Certified means your db loudspeakers will perform reliably on the water as well as they do on land. So Polk attacked every db speaker with a series of punishing real world and accelerated weathering lab tests to see if they could take what some pretty nasty marine and automotive environments could dish out. Polk exposed dbs to hundreds of hours of salt fog, intense ultraviolet light and extreme temperatures from -40 degrees to 185 degrees F (-40 degrees to 85 degrees C). They performed as well after the tests as before (they didn't look so good). No wonder Correct Craft builds Polk Audio speakers into their award-winning Nautiques ski and wakeboarding boats, and Bullet uses Polk db speakers in their marine "tower" speaker enclosures.

My intention was to replace the work piece by piece into his system, but once I installed these speakers was clear to me that I do not need to change my unit or add an amplifier. These speakers sound great with the factory HU. Can I turn the HU volume up and Polk can handle without distortion when I installed, I had a popping sound shrill, but I realized the factory was still connected to the subwoofer. From time to pull the sub, the sound was perfect! These speakers pick up the bass perfectly, so I decided not to add a sub at all. Sound quality is not competitive, but more than I'll ever need. Perfect full-range speakers for the average listener. The purchase of these speakers has saved me a lot of money to replace the rest of my system. Polk Thank you!

Good for the price of enthusiast I considered getting sound these speakers for quite a while and then find a lot of them and overall I'm happy with the sound. As mentioned above, do not expect a lot of bass with them, but the silk dome tweeters that go very well with high. I know nothing more experience with these speakers, but I feel that I "broke up" after about 2-3 months, where the sound is better note and speakers seemed to work less effort. I felt I could get more out of them. I have paired them with a single 10 "sub in the back. In short - for the price these are great speakers.
