   @FKNhostile187 I generally do not recommend using the Polk DB speakers (especially the component models) without an aftermarket amplifier. While these speakers are very efficient, their higher minimum recommended wattage (no less than 10 watts RMS on the components) means they will not perform well off the lower wattage from an aftermarket stereo. Feel free to call for additional assistance: 800.315.0030–Crutchfield

   How would these speakers run(considering 6.5 components in doors and 6×9′s in back) off a Pioneer unit only. I cant do a 4 channel amp just yet, is it worth investing in

   @Outsida2K Yes I could, and I will…..Polk pa660.4 are stereotypical stereo speakers.

   @Outsida2K I’m not familiar with the Polk PA660.4 as it isn’t a model we currently carry or that we have carried in the past. I would recommend that you give Polk a call at 1-800-377-7655 for assistance with questions on that model.

   db651 standard model are good speakers.  Don’t expect deep bass, but decent mid-bass.

   @13andrew13hurtado

   Well, first, the head unit is only giving them about 20 watts each of continuous power. And they could use more power, and some bass blockers. You don’t want them trying to reproduce full frequency. Take the bass out with bass blockers and they will sound better, and give them more power if you still want them louder and clearer,

   We have bass blockers at Crutchfield.

    @FKNhostile187

    You are having trouble finding speakers that fit because the 3-1/2″ grilles on front your dash are really tight against the top of your speakers. There’s barely more than 1/4″ of room for “mounting height.” Every speaker we have sticks out more than that, so they would touch the underside of the speaker grille (not good).

    You’ll have to modify the speaker grilles (part of the dash pad) to allow more clearance for the new speakers.

    Call us.

    Do the polk 3 1/2 inch fit a 2003 Dodge Neon Dash? I’d like to do a full polk system… but i’m having problems finding speakers that will fit the dash.

    @TOWNIES4PREMIERS

    Good question, the Kicker KX300.4 will give each of those Polk speakers 38 watts. They can handle more than that, and to get their top performance, you’ll need more power. However, 38 good clean Kicker watts is a lot more power than most people drive them with, and it’s a quality amplifier, so you’ll probably be very satisfied with the quality and quantity of that combination, but you could go bigger if you wanted too.

    I hope that helps,

    hey i was just wondering if a set of db 651′s and a set of db 6501′s would run off a kicker kx300.4 amp and would the power be sufficient enough to run them?

    I have db651′s (6.5) for my car doors, and db691′s (6×9) for the back deck. They are awesome.

    Hey southBAYstruts,

    We’d love to help you get the right speakers to go with you Alpine sub. We have been helping people figure out the right equipment for their cars (and homes) for years.

    This isn’t a cop-out, we know from experience that we can’t recommend speakers with the limited info provided.

    We’ll need to know the vehicle, your music preferences, how much power for the speakers, and more.

    lol spraying the speaker don’t prove that its weather proof. It only proves that its a real object, that can get wet. But still nice video

    Hi donovane100,

    Both pairs of Polk speakers you’ve chosen will easily handle the 100 watts of power from the Alpine MRP-F600. You can’t get a more perfect matchup of speakers and amplifier.

    And of course that will translate into loud, crystal clear music at all volumes.

    If you need any assistance getting everything you need for a successful installation, we are here to help. Our phone number is below.

    fighterace,

    Thanks for watching, and for you question. The difference between the DB-651 and the DB-651s is the actual size of the speaker basket. The “s” stands for “shallow.” It’s over 1/4″ less deep, so as to fit more vehicle speaker openings.

    Hope that helps,
