Thread: 6.5 in Speakers

You guys have any suggestions for a door speaker upgrade? I have Polk Audio DXI650's in there right now. One of them blew this morning. So I want to upgrade. Maybe get components? I'm thinking my budget isn't too much over 140 bucks.

I was thinking about these:

Polk Audio db6501 6.5" 2-way Component Car Speakers System (db 6501)

Thanks for your suggestions.

^ prove it...

I bought alpines from sonic and they do not seem like refurbs. I'm very pleased

I'm expecting the source that you got this info from?

^^^me too^^^

I got my subs and box from there. Definitely not refurbished.

op, are you planning on amping those? first set of speakers i installed in the gp, i was not really impressed with the performance until i amped them. Makes a world of difference.

we had a local audio shop buy amps and speakers from sonic and the ones they got from their dist. and tore them apart and had them on display.......now is everything refurbed prolly not but it was thier point to beware. Is refurb bad?....NO not if its done by an authurized repair shop, but why pay close to new for a refurb

here are some quick links

I don't think sonic has close to new prices they beat everyone else by a long shot lol

I won't hesitate to buy from the again in the future their pricing is the best I've found and had no issues out of the 3 pair of speakers/subs/amp I've purchased from them.

Still rocking my same 6.5" for the last 3 years. Love my infinity kappa perfect components

those look sick

i only got 5 1/4's upfront didnt know you could put 6.5 in

Well it takes some customizing but they do fit and thanks, appreciate the props. Hope everyone else is as happy as I am with mine.

yeah I put 6.5's in my car too I just took the plastic "holders" off and screwed the speakers into the metal part of the door

I actually ended up keeping the holders and modifying the door panel be enlarging the stock speaker hole and using the grill that came with the set to cover the seams. Had to hear up the grill so it would conform to the door panel but turned out well.

u did a good job man looks great
