Polk Audio DB461 4-by-6-Inch Coaxial Speakers (Pair, Black)

These speakers are perfect for our Jeep. The sound is good.

Easy rear replacement speaker installation for my 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 Ext cab. Nice tight bass response for a 4x6 speaker with clear, crisp high's. Drastically better than the stock paper cone speaker. For my application, I did not need a speaker grille, but it would have been nice to include a set of speaker wires (not included). I had to purchase some solderless connectors to complete the install.Tip: Carefully remove the adhesive rubber gasket from your GM stock rear speakers and transfer it to the DB461. This fits almost perfectly and will reduce any metal to metal contact that may "buzz" when cranking up your new speakers. Yes you do have to drill four small holes in the door to attach the speakers.Installation time was under an hour for both rear doors, minus the run to the store for the speaker connectors. Save time and get the connectors first before starting. The stock stereo head unit sounds great with just upgrading the stock speakers!

Bought these for my 87 Chevy S10 to replace my dash speakers. Because the magnets on these were larger than I thought it was a tight fit and took a few mangling to get it in. These are great but I don’t recommend them for my type of truck.

My 2000 Jeep Wrangler Sahara had a Sony MEX-BT3800U head unit that the previous owner installed. He had a custom dual sub-woofer in the back but removed it and left the wiring when I bought it in 2012. Recently the TJ has become my daily driver so I decided to upgrade the sound system. With a convertible option on the Jeep, I decided Marine Grade was called for.All 4 factory speakers are easily replaced without major surgery. I got Polk dB461's for the front and dB651's for the sound bar in the back. They were a direct retrofit installed in about an hour. Great sound from the Polks. Bright and clear speakers that I'm really happy with. With the loudness on, the 651's in particular had pretty good bass but it still needed that fullness only a sub-woofer could provide. The front dB461 speakers of course, don't have the bass of the 651 but for the frequency range it does carry, it's still a great speaker. Make sure you get the adapter plate for the Jeep since the front speaker mounting screws are in the center.With both Polk's I still wanted to "feel" the lows. With the wiring already in place, I considered building my own sub-woofer with a matching Polk 8 or 10" sub driver. Researching cabinets and amps, I realized loss of storage space and potential theft were significant considerations. I also don't need to vibrate the license plate. Just fill the sound band.A compact self powered sub is all I really needed. The PWE-S8 rose to the top of the choices. As it turns out, it fits invisibly under the back seat. I'm still tuning it but so far, the TJ sound is amazing over a wide range of music. I can literally feel the low keys resonate from piano and bass guitar passages. With adjustment capability at the head unit, I am able to experiment to find the sweet spot between sub and mains. The bass source location from the Alpine is invisible to the ear. It's all over the car. Exactly what I was looking for.A special note on installation and Alpine Tech Support in particular-Make sure your electrical connections are done right. I made my own ground connection on the rear seat bracket with a solid self tapping screw. Sanded the surface down to bare metal. The guys at Best Buy helped me properly run the red hot wire directly from the battery along the passenger side to the back. (The head unit wires run along the driver side. This separation eliminated any chance of interference and noise.) Then we connected to the remote-on wire (blue/white) of the head unit, plugged in the RCA connections and voila...NOTHING! No power light. We fiddled with it for about a half hour before the BB guys determined it must be the PWE-S8. I got the exchange unit from Amazon the next day thinking it will be a plug and play swap. This one didn't work either! that's when I called Alpine support and they walked me through some tests with a multi-meter. The guy emphatically said it's got to be my connection. Even though I was getting 12 volts, it dropped to 9 when the amp was under load. I know the hot was good because I saw it installed. This lead me back to the ground connection. I removed the seat bracket (2 big torx screws) and found paint on paint at the mounting point there. I sanded that down to bare metal on both surfaces, bolted it all back together and now, for real, VOILA! It worked beautifully.Self inflicted pain made a pretty straightforward installation a frustrating experience but I got it done. The Alpine PWE-S8 was the finishing touch on a great upgrade. My 2-3 hours in the Jeep in commute traffic is a lot better now.Cheers!

NIce speaker with a larger cone for more base and deeper tones, tweeter is good too so overhall a value for money

Installed these Polk 4x6 speakers in the rear panels of a Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet, to go with a same size pair of Blaupunkt speakers in the door panels up front. The car only has it's stock am/fm cassette, and I wanted to keep this classic as it came from the factory. The Polk's worked great to replace the rear panel speakers that were worn out. The sound is full and rich especially when playing some cassette tapes I recorded, and the volume is good even with the top down. Would recommend these Polks as a good replacement speaker where a 4x6 is needed.

was disappointed with the sound of these speakers from the start. didn't return because of difficulty of installation. very little "kick" or "loudness" as compared to cheaper pioneer speakers. wasn't looking for sound quality as much as durability and the ability to hear them above the noisy environment. using them in a dusty, noisy, high vibration setting. one of the speakers just quit after 14 months, now I'm doubly bummed. sounded like junk from the start and didn't last. the pioneer's lasted about 5-6 years. won't buy polk brand again.

Loud and clear, these are awesome replacement speakers for the money. I replaced the dash speakers in my 2004 Jeep Wrangler with 7-speaker stereo. These require the use of an adapter plate, which can be bought online or made from scrap metal, and spliced audio connectors. I also have Polk DB5250 waterproof 5-1/4 speakers in my soundbar and a Goldwood GW-406D 6-1/2 DVC subwoofer in my console, running off the OEM head unit and amp. Top down highway driving with custom exhaust and big tires and this budget sound system sounds surprisingly awesome, way better than stock worn out speakers. Very good value, waterproof, very pleased. Would recommend!
