What do you pro guys think of Polk Audio?

[ATLien]

I bought some 6 1/2" component bd series from Polk recently and would like some opinions on them.

Are they decent or just shit these days?

[Playa Named Joe]

I have a friend with those, they sound pretty good. Idk how they compare to Focal or anything like that, but they sounded good. Loud and clear

[Namosh]

The best sounding components I ever had were Polk MM's.

[ATLien]

Interesting. Well I'm glad I chose a good brand to start out with.

Now I just have to learn about front stage amps.

[Ao1FTW]

I personally like Polk Audio, I bought some Polk Audio 5.25" bookshelf speakers and they sound really good.

[El1T3Bass]

i love polk, had em in my blazer before i sold it and they were really crisp and clear

[az73]

i used polk's db series for my boat build and there bad ass. loud ,ultra clear and also play the bass really decent. i had alpines in it and the difference is amazing. would definitely recommend them. even the 4 1/2's sound great in the bow area

[ATLien]

Cool. I'm glad they stand up in the eyes of SMD. Now that I've got the 6 1/2s in the doors I think I'm going to buy a set of the 4" db series for my a-pillars.

For those of you that are still reading,

I've got a Boss CX950 amp thats about to be extra. Do you think it will be too powerful for a fully loaded front stage?

i got the old polk db6500 white carbon fiber comps up front and the new polk db 651 coax gunmetal ones in back ran from my memphis pr150.2 @2ohm stereo and they sound hella sweet

i got kicker ks 6&1/2 comps and 6&1/2 coax that i useto have in my truck and the sound diff is amazine

the midbass is killer, the highs are smooth n crisp, and with these i can hear the full music range instead of certain bits n pieces of the music, now i can hear every bit of it, and they keep up wit my 15's real good

im thinking about gettin some qlogic kickpanels and put my comps down there and my coax's in the doors so i will have more room for box

but they get my vote, real clean shit mang, i had some 4x6's of the older white carbonfiber ones i put in my bro n laws blazer n they sounded awesome off deck power

and if u have that amp u could run it, i think mine are gettin around 100rms or so but i can tell the diff in how clean they sound when i dont have my rear battery in or not, for some reason my secondary battery helps out both my amps

but i love mine wit my memphis, i would try that amp for the speakers n see how u like it, but if it was me i would find one wit more adjustments cause boss dont have many

i have a boss gt 300w amp and i had it hooked to my mtx 8000 15 and it pushed it pritty damn good with good electrical and boss aint shit, just not as good as some other brands

I've got the polk db 5x7s in the front and rear and a pair of polk db 12's. For the price they seem to be as good as anything else in the price range.
