Description Features Crutchfield Hands-on Research Accessories
 

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.

First component set of speakers...not disappointed September-05-11
Reviewer: Blaine from Louisiana  
This is my first set of component speakers in a vehicle.  They are powered by a  Boston Acoustics GTA-504 amplifier and I couldn't be happier.  They are only  getting about 50% of rated RMS power, so they wont make your ears bleed.   However, they get plenty loud for a nice SQ system.  Mids are tight and highs are  crisp on the -3 tweeter setting.  Makes my system sound like a concert in my 99  Mustang GT.


 
Excellent Sound Quality July-12-11
Reviewer: Pete B from New England  
I bought these speakers as well as a set of Polk 6X9s for my Honda.  Installation was fairly straightforward.  The speakers are being driven by a 300W Rockford Fosgate amplifier and are mounted in my doors (Stock location, tweeters a bit above diagonally from the speakers).  The sound quality is excellent and you can really hear the difference going from a 2 way to this component setup.  As previous reviewers said you may need a sub with these if they are your primary speakers.  In my car the 6X9s provide a bit of bass but I am looking to eventually add a small sub.


 
Not Bad June-21-11
Reviewer: Wayne from Georgetown KY  
I got these for the roll bar on my 2003 jeep and they are a big improvment over  stock if you have a amp. But do not expect any lows I mean after all their 5 1/4.  Highs are great and mids are good would recomend.


 
Disappointed with sound March-21-11
Reviewer: Bill H from Apex, NC  
I just paid this much for a set of these speakers and am so far really  disappointed.  I was replacing STOCK stereo speakers with these and yes I  went with the 5 1/4 vs the 6 1/2 I had in the car.  I am still on the factory head  unit.  These speakers require much more power than I can produce with the  current head unit.  Replacing with a kenwood double din and am going to add  a amp. I expected much more out of these speakers and in hind sight I should have  got the 3 way 6 1/2 inch speakers.  

I hope these sound better with a nice big amp on them.


 
Good, but you'll need a sub February-21-11
Reviewer: Anonymous person from Columbus, OH  
These speakers sound fine....but get a subwoofer. I just ordered an 8" Bazooka
tube because I can't hear any low end from these Polks with the engine running.
I realize they're only 5.25", but even my factory (Jeep) 5.25" speakers had SOME
low end.

Crutchfield experience was great as always.
