Review on 🔊 Enhance Your Audio Experience with Polk Audio DB501 5-Inch Coaxial Speakers (Pair, Black) by Kirk Womack

UPDATE. When I bought them I thought I was buying from Polk Audio. Not so. They can be repaired as Polk no longer makes them. .First, why wasn't this box packed inside another box to protect the speakers during shipping? Speakers are fairly fragile items. Now for the "good". I bought these speakers about ten years ago for a 1983 Honda Goldwing that I owned and loved at the time. Great lows and crisp highs. I bought these for the 1989 Goldwing that I have now and they are just awful. NO bass and a big drop in volume compared to the original Honda speakers from 30 years ago. It's unbelievable how poor they are. And to make matters worse, one of the speakers is defective! Cracking when playing any music. Is Polk Audio's quality control really that bad? Does the seller sell the returned item? I'm not sure, but it amazes me how bad they are. I spoke to Polk Audio about this and they can't believe it either. Of course. It took me a total of 5 1/2 hours to take my bike apart, install them only to find out how bad they were, take them out and put the original speakers back in and put my bike back together. Much wasted time. I will definitely not be buying Polk Audio products again anytime soon. It is a pity. They used to have quality products. Very disappointed to say the least. Sending it back, probably at my expense, for a refund.
