5.0 out of 5 stars Good solid speaker set, December 13, 2009

Like the previous reviewer, i also got this set for my 2007 Lexus ES350 (actually, his review along with positive notes from other sources convinced me to do so). I power this with a Polk PA500.4 amp and use a pair of Polk DB651 for the rear channels. The sound is amazing. I am able to push it as loudly as i can possibly tolerate AND there is no distortion. Highly recommended this. Frys Electronics sells this at $329 so Amazon is a bargain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent upgrade for factory speakers in Lexus ES350, September 20, 2009

I ordered these to replace the standard speakers in my 2007 Lexus ES350. I installed the Polk 6.5 inch speakers in the front doors in place of the factory speakers, and the improvement in sound quality is incredible. (Note to similar vehicle owners: Disconnect the factory center dash speaker to avoid volume/voice mismatch between the new and center speaker.) Installation was difficult, as it was necessary to cut up the factory speaker brackets to make these fit (3rd party universal fit brackets can be purchased to make this easier). I did not bother with the Polk tweeters or crossover units - I left the factory equipment in place, as the crossover units are bulky - about 2.5" x 4.5" x 1.5". The MM6501 speakers have plenty of bass and low midrange sound for pop, easy listening, and classical music. The speakers have excellent clarity - they don't sound muddy or distorted like the car's factory speakers. I can set the bass, mid, & treble of my stereo to "flat" and get pleasing sound, and the speakers are not at all tiring to listen to. The price on Amazon is half that some other vendors charge. The speaker have spade connectors. The package includes foam gaskets and and wire terminated with spade connectors, but no screws. I highly recommend these speakers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Impressive speakers but can blow on 55 watts rms - AA6514-A MM6501 6.5-Inch System, March 17, 2011

Amazing quality - but one burned out on 55 watts rms. This may have just been a defective driver. If you buy from Amazon beware that they won't do anything to help you with your 1 year warranty because they use subsellers that are NOT authorized dealers for Polk Audio. You really only have a 30 day warranty.

I installed these speakers in my 2001 Honda Accord and they sound great with a 220 Watt (rms) 4 channel Hifonics amp. They will not distort to reasonably high volumes - definitely outpaced my two 600 Watt (rms) type-R Alpine subs (sealed - 4 ohms ot the amp). I am also running 6x9" MB Quarts in the back (rear-fill, not as important). I dynamated doors and floors (about to do the trunk) - already very nice and plenty loud. You will need an amplifier to get to their potential - about 50 Watts rms per speaker will work great. I would suggest anyone to use these with subs as you simply can't expect midrange woofers to push hard below 80 Hz. Dyanamat (or similar) is necessary for doors because these midrange woofers will make your stock doors buzz.
