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 db691 speakers feature 6"x9" 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. The 3/4" dome supertweeters add even more sparkle to reproduce your music's natural intricacies. The built-in two-way crossovers keep the high and low frequencies flowing to the proper drivers for seamless, efficient audio.

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. Whether you've got a factory radio or aftermarket stereo, these efficient speakers will spice up your daily commute.

Great Speakers! must be Amplified! May 31, 2010
Reviewer: JMS from Pennsylvania  
I read a bunch of reviews for these speakers, and found a lot of people saying no sound comes out of these, my stock speakers worked better than these, or something along those lines. Before I buy a speaker I always check out the the specifications and one thing I noticed about these was was their minimum power started at 10Wrms. Thats a very high starting point for speakers! I realized with this that meant even the best head units out there were only going to push out 14-18Wrms which means your barely going to be pushing these bad boys. Would you settle for a nightlight in every room of your house as all the light you had? Anyways I hooked the speakers up to Rockford Fosgate Punch P400.2 and WOW, what an amazing difference! They went from cranking the H.U. up just to hear them to turning them up halfway and now shaking my mirrors. Take it from me these are good speakers, you just have to get an amplifier.


 
A warm, rich sound - but lack some brilliance and November 11, 2009
Reviewer: Beau from Nashville, TN  
I have the Polk db 691 and db 651 coaxials driven by a Kicker Zx350.4 (60w x 4 ) amp. Now they sound a little better than my 8-year-old Kenwood 3-way 6 x 9"s, but my old Infinity Refenence 6.5"s sounded a lot brighter and more detailed... I bought these Polks because they should last a lot longer in the rear deck. UV rays and heat from the sun will deteriorate most speakers.( My old Infinity Reference 6 x 9" cones rotted away in 2 years time, but I should have covered them up with a towel or used a sun shade because that car sat in the driveway most of the time in direct sunlight.)
         As for my front door speakers, I transfered my old Infinitys to my other car so I still enjoy them... The Polk db vocals sound pretty good and they can handle moderate power (60W RMS), but I know first hand that the Infinity Reference have a "brighter" sound instead of the "warmer" sound that Polk db's produce. I am not familiar with the Polk Audio components or the Mobile Monitors, but I think in the future I will try Infinity Kappas- they should have a little more clarity and brightness. These Polk db's suit me just fine for now, as I listen to a variety of music including hard rock. They aren't bad for the money, but if you are not really on a budget, buy a quality amplifier and go for the Polk Mobile Monitors or Infinity Kappas- especially if you are into instrumental, bluegrass, or classical music.


 
Bad Polk June 16, 2009
Reviewer: ChanHyuk from New York, NY  
The factory speakers on my Acura Legend were making buzzing noise so I thought it was time to change it. So, I bought set of Polk 6x9 and 6 1/2 to replace factory speakers which are paper base but it hits hard on the base which I like. But when I connected the Polk speakers, it was half as loud as the paper made speakers. I thought I connected the wires wrong but either way it sounded similar. I don't know how they do it but the engineers, they'll make gem out of rock I guess. Oh by the way, when I ordered these two pairs of Polks, the order didn't ship with any wires or wiring harness. None was included in the speaker box either. When I ordered the product online, it said it didn't require any extra harness. I ended up purchasing separate wires and a set of connectors to get the wires connected. I hate cutting and splicing original car speaker wires because I always end up loosing the original speaker plugs and it's messy with splicing on my own. I had to take apart the factory plug and get the wires out of the plugs without cutting the wires. Now, I am hesitant to swap the front speakers with 6 1/2 Polk because I'm going to loose all the base I enjoyed before. Right now I'm cranking up the volume much more to get the similar base effect. The sound detail is more clearer with Polk but from the rear speakers, you really want to hear the base. I'm thinking of trying out Infinity Kapa speakers soon.


 
Lot of BANG for the Buck June 1, 2009
Reviewer: Roger from Columbia SC  
Installed these in the cockpit of my 23' boat and hooked them up to a 40 watt x 2 head unit and WOW. They sound great. Lots of base, mid, and high end tones. Really sound great without an additional amp or speakers. I will probably add an amp down the road to get the full benefit of these speakers. Have no concerns, they will provide what you are looking for!!


 
Upgrade March 19, 2009
Reviewer: Darryl from Cleveland, Ohio  
I bought these to upgrade the factory speakers in my '06 Monte Carlo.  The difference is night and day.  The clarity is amazing.
