Description Features Crutchfield Hands-on Research
 

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 versatile db5251 component speaker system features 5-1/4" woofers made from a polymer/mica composite and durable rubber surrounds that won't fall apart under stress from heat, moisture, or time. Liquid-cooled 1" silk/polymer dome tweeters use powerful Neodymium magnets to deliver precise high-frequency reproduction, enveloping you in bright musical detail. You can surface- or flush-mount the tweeters with the included swivel-mount cups. Just aim the tweeters so they broadcast toward your ears, creating a powerful stereo image.

External crossovers direct the right frequencies to the tweeters and woofers to maximize their performance, and their housings let you hide all wiring for a clean, professional look. All db Series speakers feature rustproof baskets and stainless steel mounting hardware, so they're suitable for marine use. If you're custom installing these speakers, the muscular ABS grilles will add a stylish touch to your car's audio system.

Ready to tackle the car or marine environment, Polk db components will provide you with great-sounding music in your vehicle or on the water.

Amazing speakers October 20, 2008
Reviewer: Alex M from Fairfax, VA  
Those speakers truly are amazing. They produce the best sound I ever heard from car speakers. The woofers sound great at both mids and lows. The tweeters aren't harsh at all. Those speakers sound amazingly natural. Cant wait till I get my second pair + amplifier, since I run them on my head unit, then start enjoying the true sound of high quality after market speakers.


 
Amazing!!! October 18, 2008
Reviewer: Josh from Houston, Tx  
I was a little skeptacle at first for buying a component setup...I powered these to a Rockford Fosgate P400 amp and WOW!! These suckers are amazing. I was used to hearing a little distortion with my stock speakers at high volume. I swapped them out with these and the bass and clarity that they produce is well worth every penny, ESPECIALLY after I found out how to tune my amp with Crutchfield's "How To" guide.

Just last year, I didn't know anything about car audio. With Crutchfield's step-by-step instructions and free wiring gear, anyone can install audio and have fun doing it.

I wouldn't reccomend any other component other than this one. You will not be disappointed.


 
FREAKING AWESOME September 2, 2008
Reviewer: Voz from Cheyenne, Wyoming  
I had recently just installed a 6 component speaker system in my car. I hooked these Polk Audio db5251 speakers and tweeters to my 5 channel amp, along with 2 rear speakers and 2 10" subs. This set of speakers are a definite buy. I got them from the scartch and dent, and they turned out just great. And my system as a whole is off the HOOK!!


 
LOUD, But very nice sound with the right power June 7, 2008
Reviewer: mo from Richmond, VA  
I had these installed in my 2000 Acura TL flush mounted next to the door
handle. They are powered by the Alpine PDX-4.100 4 channel amp and I
had the doors dynamated. I just got done doing a 3000 mile trip with an 8
GB mp3 player and I absolutely did not want to leave the car. These things
are amazing sounding from rock, metal, rap, jazz, classical, you name it
these sound amazing. Couple these with a subwoofer and you will honestly
think you are at a concert. I turned my pioneer deck to 50 and it actually
became painful to keep it at that level. They sounded just as clear at
minimal amplification and maximum amplification. Pay the extra money if you
have it and have them mounted flush. You cannot go wrong with these
speakers. I think you could even go down for a cheaper class AB amp and
still get amazing results.


 
Loud But Sharp May 1, 2008
Reviewer: randomsuper from miami, fl  
so i bought 2 sets of these, hooked them up to an  4 channel, and the signal is coming from an avic d3. i'll start with the positives. these suckers are loud. not only that, with a little tweaking, you can really get some decent bass. very clean and punchy. not a whole lot of distortion either, even at higher volumes.

for the negative, i have to say that these suckers are sharp. very sharp. if you like that, cool. if you like more natural sounding highs, these are not for you. no amount of tweaking will remove the harshness. you can minimize it, but if you power these and crank them, get ready for some serious harshness. i couldn't take it and had to replace them with something much more high end to get the sound i wanted.

still, this isn't bad for the price. just make sure you really like your highs blaring if you buy them.
