I had some very good speakers in my car years ago but they had paper cones and were destroyed by water. Polk was one of the few companies that offered a marine grade speaker for the car and based on Polk's audio history I went with it.
They sound great.
I would have only said "very good" until I removed a piece of wood that I had over the door port (a long story!). Once this speaker had room to breathe the sound is fantastic - very rich, open and detailed. The bass is amazing. It really shakes the car without distorting - and I don't have a subwoofer anymore.
I am a car stereo enthusiast without a budget so my "system" is a:
'96 Honda civic stock radio (Alpine, with cassette)
75 WPC mtx amp with .75f capacitor (picked up at electronics shop for $15)
These Polk speakers mounted in the front doors (regular position).
About 300lbs. of sound deadening material including roofing tar and shingles.
The sheer stupidity of putting the tar in my car is pointed out to me regularly by my wife and I have to agree - don't do this at home! However - it was dirt cheap and provides incredible bass response.
I used to have an 8" sub but these speakers go down so low that it would not make any sense to put it back. I have all 75w going to the Polks. I listen to stuff on the radio and prefer metal but the Polks make any radio mix sound very nice.

As an owener of a new SMART car these speaker were recommended by many owner of other SMART cars. The spec's and performance of these speaker are great. They replaced the stock speakers,the fit was perfect, there is plenty of room. The MOD went smoothly,and the end result was better then I had expected. I did add a Sub Woofer, Boss 8"Slim Bass600 from this site. The sound is the best of any vehicle I have owened.These speaker are the best money can buy.Check my MOD Pix's on this site www.smartcarofamerica.com Then go to gallery click on p1nball/ thats my gallery. See the whole process!!! LOL p1nball
Crisp and Clear
I purchased 4 of these to replace the stock speakers in my 1999 Tacoma. I love crisp, clean music and these speakers deliver both. Saved about $75 purchasing online vs. buying them at circuit city. Very happy with the purchase.
