Polk Audio's DB+ Series component speakers are a dynamite value as well as being stellar performers. Their journey to excellence begins with a laser-imaged design that ensures minimal distortion, a smooth response, and incredible sonic detail. 

Honed Polk perfection

This DB6502 component speaker system features a 6-1/2" polypropylene woofer cone with a strong rubber surround for solid playback and resilience under the environmental stress that comes with living in your car doors. The separate 3/4" silk dome tweeter delivers smooth highs with precision to give you a vibrant soundstage, and the included external crossover network keeps the highs and lows flowing to the proper drivers for seamless performance. 

Handles up to 100 watts RMS

With power handling up to 100 watts RMS, you'll do fine driving this system with an aftermarket receiver, but these speakers will be loving life if you power them with a nice amp.

For custom installation

Polk includes mounting hardware for the tweeters, along with boldly designed grilles for the woofers that'll add a little flare to your vehicle's interior.

Note: Polk includes brackets to fit a 6-3/4" opening.

Product Research

Features

Dynamic Balance: Dynamic Balance is a proprietary Polk Audio technology using laser imaging to determine what combination of speaker materials create the least amount of resonance. Eliminating resonance in speakers results in a wide, smooth response and low distortion.

Woofer Mounting: The woofer baskets have multiple mounting holes and are designed to fit standard 3-hole 6-1/2, Ford's 4-hole 6-1/2, and 6-3/4 applications. (A speaker baffle should be used to seal the inner ring of screw holes in 6-3/4 installations.) The included adapter brackets can be used to fit many specialized factory speaker applications. The brackets are also useful as a spacer in shallow locations; the brackets add 0.232" to the woofers' mounting height and subtract 0.232" from the mounting depth. Please enter your vehicle information to confirm fit.

Tweeter Mounting: The supplied mounting cups allow you to surface or flush mount the tweeters. The tweeters swivel slightly in the flush mount housings, allowing you to adjust them for optimum imaging.

Tweeter Mounting Dimensions:

  Flush Mount Surface Mount
Mounting Height 0.314" 0.884"
Mounting Depth 0.731" screw depth
Cutout Diameter 1.780" N/A
Frame Diameter 2.135" 1.75"

Crossover: The outboard crossovers have screw terminal inputs and outputs (0.3" wide). A jumper inside each crossover allows you to adjust the tweeter output level; choose 0 dB, +3 dB, or +6 dB. There are two screw holes in the base of each crossover for mounting.

Crossover Dimensions:

  • Width: 2.6"
  • Height: 1.2"
  • Depth: 4.73"

Marine Certification: Polk speakers are marine certified, making them a good choice for boats in fresh water, convertibles, motorcycles, ATVs, and other applications where the speaker might get wet. Because they have coated steel baskets, the terminals are not covered, and the crossovers are not sealed, we do not recommend using them in salt water environments.

Q
What are the stats for the tweeters? Rms wattage and resistance specifically.
patrick  May 19, 2023
1 answer
A
The tweeters share the same rating of 4-ohm and 100 watts RMS power handling. Keep in mind that these are nominal ratings that don't address appropriate frequency response offered to the tweeters. Also, keep in mind that the crossover helps to accommodate both the woofer and tweeter being 4-ohm while still presenting an amplifier with a total 4-ohm load.
zachary  May 19, 2023 (Staff)
Q
what are the crossovers for? will i need a amp?
lance  Mar 01, 2023
1 answer
A
Those are great questions, Lance. The box-style crossovers will split the frequencies between the woofer and the tweeter, they are essential for the smooth, buttery sound of the Polk DB's. These are extremely efficient speakers, and they work well on radio power (20-watts or so). Since these Polk DB's can handle 100-watts RMS, they will sound even better with a component amp that delivers around 75-watts per channel. The new Jensen JA4B in the link below would be a great choice with its onboard DSP! https://www.crutchfield.com/p_110JA4B/Jensen-JA4B.html
bo  Mar 02, 2023 (Staff)
Q
If pairing to a system that already has tweeters, can these simply be installed with out using the provided tweeters? If so, would there be any real noticeable sound upgrade compared to a similar (Polk db652) 2way speaker being run off of a factory head unit? (2022 Rav4 Prime w/o JBL). Thank you.
jacob  Oct 21, 2022
1 answer
A
Technically it would be possible to install only the woofers from this component set. In this case, we would expect better clarity in terms of mid/mid-bass response. Bass should also be tighter and more defined. Using the DB652 instead would mean having additional tweeters in the front of the vehicle. This may or may not be desirable depending on whether or not you'll enjoy having more present high frequencies. For further help with this decision, please reach out to our advisors via chat or phone at 1-800-324-9695.

Q
I cannot figure out which wire should feed into the input of the external crossover. I have a 2013 Honda CRV-EX (no sub). I can see that the factory wiring harness that clips to the factory woofer has four wires attached to it. Two grey and two black. The factory tweeter wiring harness has two wires, a white and a black. The wire bundles are actually inside the door. Not behind the panel, but inside the door wrapped in grommets, which are also wrapped in electrical tape. Pretty inaccessible. Any help that doesn't require calling someone on the phone?
stephen  Apr 07, 2021

A
Sorry, while I have these speakers, I didn't have 2-way speakers in the Rav-4. I had cheap single (1-way) speakers. In your case, you may be better off not using the crossover and wire directly into the speakers. There has to be an existing crossover in your Honda if you have woofers and tweeters. On the other hand, the wires going to the woofer are probably already full-range capable. Woofers don't need crossovers. Tweeters do!
billy  Apr 29, 2021
Q
How loud are these compared to the OEM speakers from a 16' Mazda model 6?
s....  Mar 25, 2021
1 answer
A
I can't speak to the Mazda, I replaced the OE with these on a 2015 Wrangler. With a Kenwood head unit, Alpine under seat bass, and the Polks in the dash and sound bar it made a huge difference. Having the crossovers and a head unit capable of isolation and frequency limits is probably key to letting the speakers perform as designed. I can max out my radio with various music...rock, country, trap, jazz, and have no distortion.

michael a  Mar 21, 2021

These are relatively efficient speakers. You could easily drive these to moderately loud levels with 25 watts RMS. I use these in my ram pickup with 75 WRMS crossed over from the subs at 80hz. Loud and very clean... the highs on these are very smooth, not harsh at all, and that is why I chose them, along with the efficiency.

The crossovers are definitely good quality and allow for decibel increments for the tweeter.
marco  Mar 07, 2021

You can put the crossover in since its for the tweeter allowing you to not have cut the dash tweeter speaker. Unless you're referring to a center speaker.

Q
can i run the polk db6502 in active crossover dsp setup, with the included passive crossovers as backup buffers to protect tweeters, powered with a rated 50w x 4ch @4ohm alpine mrvf300 amp?
reuben  Feb 08, 2021
2 answers
A
Yes you can. I have mine set up exactly that way with a dm810 DSP from audio control. The included cross over gives you a little more control over the tweeter output level as well. It's commonly stated to never run a passive and active cross overs together because of the phase distortion, but I haven't experienced that. The time alignment is delayed slightly with the added cross over but the DSP can handle that. They sound great

Yes it is a two speaker set (plus tweets). I left my back speakers stock and put these up front. Currently have this setup in my f-150. Sounds great!
james  Aug 12, 2020
A
Yes. They are separate tweeter and woofer to go in each door. You would need two pair. Speaker wire should be in the car already.
john  Aug 11, 2020
A
The package includes 2 mids and 2 tweeters. You would need to purchase two sets for front and rear doors. Factory speaker wires are fine, unless you are hooking up an amp.
dale  Aug 11, 2020
Q
If I wanted to run these speakers as a 4 channel system with active crossovers, how much power (RMS) would I need to provide each speaker/channel?
p. aidan  Jul 27, 2020
1 answer
A
Polk Audio does not give the RMS for each driver. I've used the RMS power their separate tweeters handle as a guide and that's worked well for our customers in the past. So, I recommend getting an amp that outputs around 60 watts RMS per channel. If you would like some help in finding an amp that will work, then I recommend contacting an advisor on 1-800-324-9695 to discuss any additional preferences and get a personal recommendation
jason  Aug 12, 2020 (Staff)
Q
I have the Bose system in my 2006 envoy. Do I need the crossovers since the factory amp already separates the bass and treble. And does the factory amp push enough watts for these speakers?
todd  May 25, 2020
1 answer
A
I had these in my envoy with Bose, however I bypassed the factory amp therefore needing the crossovers. I don't remember the Ohm rating of the factory Bose speakers, if it's different enough you may notice a change in volume. But to answer your question, yes the factory amp has its own crossover

Sorry I don't have that answer, but I can say that some installations require slicing in a length of wire to allow the crossover in a place a little more remote than right there close. Mine went in to a GMC grewcab

Q
Can you hook up a mid range speaker with these speakers and if so where to hook it up on crossover?
david  Jul 18, 2019
1 answer
A
This speaker is not designed to have a midrange added in. However, there is a way to still use one with this setup that will require an amp to power each driver independently as well as a 3-way crossover. I recommend contacting an advisor on 1-800-324-9695 to discuss all the gear that is needed for this setup My Bio: https://www.crutchfield.com/bio/Paul
jason  Aug 04, 2019 (Staff)
Q
I have a clarion xc2510 amp rated at 50 watts continuous when each channel is directly connected to an individual speaker. I'm concerned this won't be enough for these speakers. I believe I could also bridge channels to provide 150 watts continuous. Would you recommend this? Thanks!
matt  Jun 01, 2019
1 answer
A
These speakers are very efficient and can work with various amounts of power for different levels of performance. Also, you are correct that your amp can output 150 watts RMS x 2 channel when bridged. It has a gain control too. So you could run it that way, adjust the gain so the amp does not overpower these speakers and get the best sound they can deliver. My Bio: https://www.crutchfield.com/bio/Paul

Q
I don't plan on upgrading the factory head unit. Do I risk damaging anything hooking up the factory head unit to these speakers/tweeters/crossovers? Or will I just suffer with not maximizing the speaker's potential?

I have a factory head unit with a line out converter to an amp running these speakers. I don't think adding them to a factory head unit will hurt them but they won't be at their full potential.
robert  Apr 06, 2019
A
Hey Frank! You're definitely not going to damage anything. As of right now i have my 6502s hooked up to an aftermarket JVC head unit. They sound good but I'll tell ya they'd sound a lot better with an amplifier on them. I have a 100x4 JBL that I'm going to hook up to them just haven't had the time. I think my head unit is rated at something like 15w x4. In my opinion keep your head unit and get an amplifier and make the speakers perform the way they were designed to perform. Hope this helps.
vince  Apr 06, 2019

No they will work. But I would recommend getting an amp or a aftermarket head unit to power them.

Q
Will the supplied crossover filter out the signal below 85 hz or should I set the high pass filter on my amp to 85 hz?
rockon  Jul 03, 2018
1 answer
A
In this case you would set your amplifier's high-pass filter at 85 Hz. The included 2-way crossover designed to take the signal from your amp/head unit and separate the highs out to the tweeters, and lows to the woofers. Polk doesn't specify the crossover point for the DB 6502 speakers; but it's typically in the 3.5kHz-5kHz range for 6-1/2" component speakers. For more details or to discuss further please contact an Advisor directly by phone (888.955.6000) or online chat. Hope that helps! :)

Which wire on the tweeter is positive?The tweeter has two black wires, one with white strip on large spade. I know the large spade on the woofer is positve, but it connects to gray wire with no strip.

Q
I don't know if this applies to full range and component speakers, but reading one of Crutchfield's educational articles about subwoofers (top rms) powered by 75% to 150% amps rms for matching performance. I'm wondering if I can power the Polk Audio DB6502 with a JL Audio Slash 300/2, witch puts out 150 rms x 2 of power?
gilbert  Nov 11, 2017
1 answer
A
It's always a good idea to match the RMS power handling of the speaker to the RMS output of the amp. If you "baby" the speakers with an amp rated at more RMS power you'll probably be ok but these speakers are very efficient and will not need more power than called for. My advice....get a 100 watt amp and you can't go wrong.
james  Nov 13, 2017
Q
Would these be overpowered by a bridged 5 channel pioneer gd9605 2x150 rms 4 ohms?
marcos  Sep 25, 2017
1 answer
A
Yes if the amp you list is rated at 150 watts rms per channel. The db6502's are rated to handle 100 watts rms so any bridging will only increase the power to the speakers. It's always best to match a speakers rated rms power handling to the amps rms power output with the impedance (ohms) the same.

Thanks for your question. This will depend on your vehicle. If you are connecting to the factory wiring at the speaker location then there should be plenty of wire included. If you are running completely new wire all the way to the head unit then additional wire may be required.

Q
If the tweeter is 4 ohms and the woofer is also 4 ohms, when you hook them up to the crossover and then power them with an amplifier will the load that the amplifier sees then be 2 ohms?
timothy  Feb 12, 2017
1 answer
A
The Polk Audio DB6502 component speakers will still present a 4-ohm load to your amplifier. The tweeters and woofers are connected individually to the crossovers, (which filters high frequencies to the tweeters and mids/lows to the woofers) so the impedance shown to your amp remains 4-ohm. If you would like to discuss further, feel free to contact an Advisor directly by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat.
david  Feb 23, 2017 (Staff)
Q
These speakers don't show a minimum impedance. Is it possible to run them at a 2ohm load?
f rojas  Jan 28, 2017
1 answer
A
It's my understanding of audio systems that the speakers in the system are the load, and therefore will be the 4 ohms listed by polk. An amp set up to handle a 2 ohm load (speaker) will do fine with a 4 ohm speaker as the current draw will be lower.
james  Jan 28, 2017
Q
The included tweeter mounts, both flush or surface versions, are extremely hard to get the tweeter into. It is basically a one-time press fit (and do not press on the tweeter grill!). It appears to me that once pressed in either mount, you'd then have to damage either the tweeter or the mounting surface in order to remove them. Am I missing something, or is this what others have used these mounts experienced as well?
joseph  Jan 14, 2017
3 answers
A
I ended up placing the tweeter in the factory dashmount location without using the included flush mount brackets. I simply drilled a hole in the factory housing just big enough to accomodate the tweeter. I simply press fit the tweeter in the location and used gorilla glue to hold it in place. Worked like a charm.

I've had to take my tweeters out since installing them and although it required finesse, I did it without any damage to driver or mount. I used a long thin screwdriver and pushed it out from the back side VERY CAREFULLY.

Yes, that is what we found. That is, the tweeters will be damaged if they have to be removed.

I have the DB6502s in my rear doors (with the tweeters in the front), and a pair of DB 692s in the front. The receiver is a Sony MEX-XB100BT, Class-D, 40wRMS (100wPEAK) x 4. I'm using the receiver's feature that uses the rear speakers kinda like subs to supplement bass from the fronts. It gets loud enough for me, but at 56 I'm not trying to pulsate the doors. At full volume, there is not a trace of distortion unless the bass is turned up to absurd levels. I have little doubt that they would handle 100wRMS as specified, and they would be loud enough for anybody, but some might want more bass and need a separate subwoofer (I once had an Infinity Basslink that was AWESOME, for my musical taste). It all depends on whether your goal is good clean music now and being able to hear when you're 50, or if you want to thump today and say "huh?" all the way through your golden years. You might go to 150wRMS for some additional headroom for bass in the amp, but you'd have to be careful to never turn it up all the way. Remember: When you get distortion, it is most often because the amp is not powerful enough and it is clipping -- NOT because the speakers are distorting. But sure, you can pump the coil straight out of the magnet if you try hard enough. I had first tried some Infinity speakers and was *shockingly* disappointed. These speakers sound VERY good. Highly Recommended.

I'm currently using an Arc Audio KS 300.4, non bridged 90 watts for each channel.

I would go with an amp that delivers at least 75% of the maximum RMS rating or better.

Thanks for your question. You'll find this information on the product page under "Product Highlights". The system handles up to 100 watts RMS (300 watts peak power). Hope that helps.
