I'm looking to change out my speakers. I read the DX6, but am wondering if I should go with the new polk db's. I don't want to put in a new amp yet, and I want a noticable difference in the new speakers. Any recommendations? Also, the new polk's db650s fit in the 2002 tl right?

 

Go with Focal. It will blow you away.

 

totally agree, I never imagined how good car speakers could sound till I heard these, and I listend to quite a few others also.

 

the opening in the front and rear speakers is 6.5 " but options are very limited, for speakers. So what i suggest is that you put in moldings that u can buy form crutchfield or so to have it turned into a 5.75 " opening thats what i did and went with Kenwood Excelon KFC-Xr51p component speakers in the front and JBL GTO506c in the back, both are component speaker systems and are backed up by 2 Alpine SWR-1241z, in the trunk, that are being ran by Alpine V12. the system is being powered by an Alpine CDA-7998, sounds out of this world. Alpine kix ass, and the kenwood and JBL speakers deliver precise notes.

 

This does nothing for the guy's question.

The focals won't blow you away without an amp. Especially when powered by the stock radio. Do you guys even bother reading the entire posts? :thefinger

nvbluetl,

yeah the newer polk DB's should fit in there as they are pretty shallow. They should be fine for now without an amp since there more efficient than the older polk DB series.

 

Must agree with Vtec here. If you are keeping the stock head unit, you do not want to look at some high dollar components, unless you are adding an amp. I would go with the Polk or perhaps look at the Infinity Reference series. Both have good sensitivity rating and need little power to get good volume.

 

You are right. He won't be "blown away" without the aid of an Amp. However, to me, anything is better than the POS Bose. I am sorry, I didn't realize there was a Post Police watching me.

Hey since you took first shot, how about learning to use the word "there" properly. It's "... "they are" more efficient..." :thefinger

 

Has anyone tried installing the 6.5 polk MOMO series in the doors of 99-01 TL? They're a bit bulkier than the dB's. I dont have exact specs for size other than i know they're a bit bigger.

badass, I thought this was common knowledge and the guy knew this....thanks for pointing it out though, we all wish we were as complete as you when reading a post.

 

The Momo's would require some cutting of the door. They are alot bigger than the DX series. They are awesome speakers and would be worth the work. Just be prepared that a spacer would be required and probably cutting of the door, although maybe not much cutting.
