Everything about these speakers is AWESOME. I grew up in the late '80s and '90s, enjoying true rock and an occasional "Tootsie Roll." These speakers worked out great in my roll bar and my dash. I know they were designed for maritime use, but Jeeps, if done right, will be in the water sooner or later. Get them.

I purchased these speakers for the rear of my ford ranger. I purchased the same brand for the front of my ford ranger. I purchased these rear speakers because I thought that they are the ones that would fit the rear and the front speakers I purchased that fit the front did not. I am impressed with the front speakers I purchased and now wish I had been able to purchase the same for the rear. The front speakers look like they would fit the rear. Is there anything more I can do to get the front speakers I purchased to replace the rear speakers I purchased and installed?

Amazing Sound!
Derek from HOLLYWOOD, MD on 4/12/2022
2014 Volkswagen Jetta
I bought 2 sets of these Polk Audio DB522 speakers for my daughter for her birthday. I had already purchased the receiver for her for Christmas with a backup camera. What a difference these Speakers make. The sound is incredible. My daughter loves them. When you by something from Crutchfield you will get everything you need to make installation pretty simple, and if you run into an issue they will help you through it. Amazing company! Thanks Crutchfield!
Pros: Sound is Incredible! The price is nice.
Cons: Can't think of any

Michael from Branford, CT on 4/9/2022

These speakers are good, not great. They sound really clear with all genres of music. If you want booming bass, you'll have to get a subwoofer. These are inexpensive two-way speakers. They are a major upgrade from the factory speakers but audiophiles will need to spend more to get higher quality and range. I really like them but they don't blow my mind.
Pros: Clear in most ranges. Much higher quality than the factory speakers
Cons: They will distort if truly pushed. I test them with a specific piece of music called Nuvole Bianche. This is a minimalist piano piece but most speakers distort when I play this piece. These did too. However, I really pushed the volume and equalizer.

I've been putting Polk Audio DB series speakers in boats, golf carts, vehicles, etc. for almost 20 years now and they never cease to amaze me. Great sound, hold up well to the elements, and tons of value for the price. I just sold my boat that had the 6.5" since 2006 and they were still holding up great. One of my golf carts is strictly an off road cart that sees a ton of mud and these have seen 2 years of abuse and are still holding up. You can't beat them!

Crutchfield customer from Murrells Inlet, SC on 10/11/2021
1994 Jeep Wrangler
I have a 1994 Jeep Wrangler. The speakers in my sound bar were starting to sound bad. Being out in the elements has taken it's toll. So in my search for new speakers I found the Polk Audio DB522 a marine grade speaker. Since they were going into the sound bar installation was a breeze. As with everything I've ever gotten from Crutchfield they were a great price also. I couldn't wait to take them for a spin. With the top off and 1 of my favorite CD's of driving tunes I set out and cranked them up. The speakers sounded great.
Pros: Great price, easy to install, sound great.
Cons: May have to adjust the balance from the drivers side to the passengers side never had to do that before see Pros.

Crutchfield customer from Manassas, VA on 7/11/2021
2010 Chevrolet Corvette
Amazing full range speaker. I used these for rear speakers on my 2010 Corvette Z16 Grand Sport. They get surprisingly loud and clear while still handling a lot of power and they're inexpensive. I don't think Polk Audio makes car speakers anymore which is a shame because these speakers are amazing. They're a bit on the bright side but I have them set up that way as I have 10" shallow carbon fiber woven woofers from Kenwood in the doors for low frequencies and those woofers have a frequency range from 35hz-800hz so great mid bass too.

Excellent speakers for what they are. Put them in a motorcycle fairing. Bass is minimal, but at highway speeds you arent going to be moving much air anyway. The mid and highs are crisp even at 70 mph. Crutchfield itself was amazing. I live in Va where they are located. Ordered at 2 pm one day, and my order was on my doorstep by 6pm the next.
Pros: Crisp, clean mid and highs at near max volume. Crutchfield service A+
Cons: None, as long as you understand these are not bass heavy speakers.

Crutchfield customer from Ingleside, TX on 4/27/2021
I bought these to put install in the trunk pods on a 2007 Harley Electra Glide Classic. I still have the original HD speakers in the fairing.All four speakers are hooked up to an Aquatic AV stereo, with no amp. In my opinion, the HD original speakers sound better than these Polk speakers. I contacted Polk to ask a technical question during installation, but have received no return call. Oh well... live and learn.

Samuel from Kansas City, MO on 4/14/2021
2001 Jeep Wrangler
I installed two pairs of these in an '01 Wrangler. Free stuff included the wiring harnesses to connect the speakers directly to the factory connections (no soldering or crimping or blue language), and plates to mount the 5-1/4" speakers in place of the 4x6 factory dash speakers. I know we're not experiencing audiophile level sound, but it is a great improvement over factory radio and speakers. Putting 4 x 6 speakers in the dash would have been an easier install, but I've never enjoyed the sound of oval speakers as much as round ones for some reason. These sound great in the dash and very easy to listen to in the sound bar. My son installed them while I was busy with other work. The extra bits just made the install go so smoothly. These are powered by a heavy duty radio CD player from Jensen that puts out 40W RMS per channel x 4 (according to the spec sheet) Sounds great to me.
Pros: Nice grills, open and smooth sound quality, especially in the mid to upper range
Cons: These seem a little thin on the bass side, if that's a real important thing for you. No so big a deal for me. I prefer to not listen to extreme bassy sound

Crutchfield customer from Fairhope, AL on 1/24/2021

Incredibly easy install. It is quite literally plug-and-play. The most difficult part for me was removing the existing screws as they had rusted and kept stripping out. The included instructions by Crutchfield were very clear and easy to understand. Shipping was quick and the online guide to picking the right speakers was terrific. As a novice audiophile , Crutchfield made it super easy for me to choose the right sounding speakers for my Jeep. My first time experience was wonderful and hopefully it will not be my last one. Good job Crutchfield.
Pros: Easy install, clear instructions, perfect fit

Exellent speakers for the money
Dereck from Winston-Salem, NC on 1/18/2021
2013 Ford Mustang
The DB+ 522s have excellent sound quality from a 2 way speaker. I was worried that these wouldn't sound any better than my factory 2013 Mustang Shaker component speakers, but I was pleasantly surprised. They don't have a lot of base by themselves, but if you expect a lot of base from a 5-1/4 speaker then you don't quite understand how speakers work. The SPL rating on these are high enough that they work well even though I replaced the louder factory 2 ohm units. They are crisp and clear and loud enough at max volume for my needs. Once I replace the factory head unit I'll probably get a 4 channel amp to drive them to their full potential. As a side note, during the install process I also discovered that the factory rear speakers were wired out of phase, so that may have been my sound quality issues to begin with.
Pros: Clear clean sound Rubber surrounds Stiff poly cones High SPL rating High quality Marine rated
Cons: Not the best for bottom mount applications, but still work ok.

These speakers sounded only marginally better than the same size one's they were replacing in my Jeep TJ (w/ premium sound package) . I bought a pair of Focals for the other location in my vehicle and those sound much, much better.
Pros: Waterproof Inexpensive
Cons: Only marginally better than factory

Not sure if it was worth it.
Crutchfield customer from Orange, CA on 9/14/2020
These were used to replace the stock speakers on a Kawasaki Voyager 1700 because the DB521 is no longer available. I did not replace the head unit or add an amp. They do sound better than the stock speakers, I thought there would be a lot better. They are slightly less efficient than the DB521 so there is more volume loss, and bass response is just average; I thought it would be better. Would I do it again? Not sure.
Pros: A clearer sound than stock speakers
Cons: not sure if it was worth it

Amazing Bass For The Speaker Size
Crutchfield customer from Marshall, TX on 8/15/2020
These sound amazing. At first I thought the 5 1/4" wouldn't give much bass given that they are replacing stock 6x9 speakers. However, my sub was unhooked by accident and I honestly thought that the bass on the speakers was really good. It was clean and defined bass rather than muddy and the mids and highs are very crisp. I'm hearing things in my music I didn't realize was there. I've replaced all four of my door speakers with these and I am very pleased!
Pros: Crisp mids and highs. Great bass for their size.

Replacing some older speakers in the overhead speaker bar that were beginning to sound tinny. The speakers didn't mate to the stock grill very well, I broke one screw out while trying to install. But it was an easy install with the Polk grills, which required no modification. The speakers have a full mid range sound that I like. In fact I was thinking of replacing the 10 year old Pioneer head unit but after rebalanceing for the new speakers I'll just leave it in place.

Crutchfield customer from Brooklyn Park, MN on 6/2/2020
2008 Toyota 4Runner
Replacement rear door speakers for 08 4Runner keeping factory head unit (non-JBL). They sound awesome and pair nicely to the component Rockfords installed on front doors. Love the peel and stick "Polk" labels so you can keep stock grills and still let it be known you appreciate good audio products! Wish other manufacturers did that as it's a classy touch. If they thought of the little things then it's no surprise they have earned the reputation that they have.
Pros: Great sounding, excellent value, POLK audio peel and stick labels for factory grills
Cons: None.

Easy install, good upgrade over stock
Crutchfield customer from Arlington Hts, IL on 6/2/2020
These were a direct fit replacement in my 1989 BMW 325. They were easy to install. They are only 5 1/4 so expectations should be set and realistic. To get the best sound I'm going to keep going and get a separate sub. Depending on sound, perhaps go full circle and get an amp for these speakers - based on the sound and brand, I'm sure they would do well with more power.

These speakers sound great in the my 2005 Jeep Wrangler. I had a bit of a install issue. The speakers did not fit flat into the sound bar. I could not use the factory grills or the mounting screws that came with them. Had to fabricate a spacer and purchase longer screws. Used the aftermarket speaker covers. Not too big of a problem. The speakers sound great and look great and work well with the kenwood I purchased with them.
Pros: Sound great
Cons: Bit of a install issue

Worth every penny
Tyler from Rock Hill, SC on 5/14/2020
2010 Ford F-150 XL
I installed 4 of these in our family's pontoon and the sound is outstanding! I have it paired up with a kenwood 328bt marine head unit. They are so crisp and have plenty of low end where you can feel the floor on the boat vibrating some. These had the most frequency range in the available size and it shows. I ordered them 5/12 in the evening and received them 5/14 in the afternoon and had everything installed before supper so S/O to Crutchfield on shipping and customer service during COVID season!!!! These were on sale and I had a hard time finding exact replacements for the pontoon and these were perfect. They are marine rated so that's what I'm using them as so I'm hoping they hold up to the weather in upstate SC with the boat in the water most of the summer. I'll get some pictures this weekend and add them to this. THANKS CRUTCHFIELD!!!
Pros: Came with everything needed for install

speakers sound great and fit well in the factory door locations, with some mild stretching of the plastic (like thick plastic drop cloth) behind the speaker location in the door for the slightly larger magnet. door cards easily fit back in place after install
Pros: sounds great, an upgrade over factory speakers
Cons: depending on your vehicle and the quality of the original speaker, there may need to be some minor modifications behind the speaker d/t the magnet size

Solid budget option speaker set
Crutchfield customer from Roswell, GA on 4/29/2020
2015 Volkswagen Jetta
I installed these in the rear doors of my 2015 VW Jetta and they sound pretty good. I originally had them hooked up to my Pioneer head unit using the factory wire adapters, but recently hooked them up to my MTX amp pushing 80 watts per channel at 4 ohms each. They sound much better when pushed with the amplified power. The highs are crisp, but the lows lack ever so slightly, probably due to the smaller 5.25 inch woofers. Overall I think these speakers are a solid purchase when building a system on a budget, like myself. I think these Polks will last quite a while in my car. Definitely recommend if you don't want to go crazy and get some high-end Focals or Infinitys.
Pros: Solid speaker set option for the price. Budget Friendly. Fantasitc high frequency response. Easy installation.
Cons: Low frequency response could be better.

They sound excellent. It was actually an easy swap out from the original factory speakers. I have followed the growth of Polk speakers since their beginning. I have always been impressed with their sound. This fact made it an easy choice for my speaker replacement. Their SDA RTA tower speakers were a great step up in sound reproduction and opened the "door" to REALISTIC sound. Keep up the good work. In case there was any doubt....I DO recommend these speakers.

These Polk speakers were installed in the lower door of a 2011 Mini Cooper-S, they have a nice sound, but they are a little light on the bass.
Pros: Polk quality, alway good.
Cons: The supplied speaker brackets did not fit, Crutchfield does not have any wire harnesses and no vehicle specific instruction. On-line search provided the necessary details along with instructions on how to use the factory speaker as a bracket (see attached picture) for the aftermarket speaker and the identification of factory speaker wires. If I can find this on-line why can't Crutchfield document it?

Too bright, no low end, harsh. What a bummer to spend the time installing and not be able to stand them. The highs are offensively too bright; have to turn treble settings all the way down. Don't know where they get 55Hz, sounds like 550Hz. Missing frequencies become very apparent and distracting. Bought from Crutchfield for their support and now have to pay return shipping.

Definitely a good spot to pruchase audio equipment for your auto needs

Absolutely one of the best online experiences I have ever had. When I called them with questions about these speakers, the rep answered my questions quickly and methodically. I was so impressed that I placed the order with him over the phone. Arrival was just as promised. Everything was included to facilitate the installation on my Harley and even sent me a video on how to get to the spot to install them. All in all, it was a most satisfying experience. Speakers sound so much better than the factory speakers that came on my bike. Thank you, a satisfied customer.
Pros: Fit as promised and sound greaat.
Cons: None
