Review on πŸ”Š Enhance Your Audio Experience with Polk Audio DB501 5-Inch Coaxial Speakers (Pair, Black) by Jerry Chembola

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Heavy distortion from both speakers. Update

Installed in the dashboard of a Honda Goldwing. This requires serious disassembly. I have purchased Polk speakers before and have always been satisfied. However, they came "exploded" out of the box. There was no visible damage. After reassembly, the rear speakers worked fine (new Polk 401), but the front ones were severely distorted. I sent the radio in for repair as they suggested this was the problem - dyno tests said OK. I rang the wiring, checked everything fine. Most replaced anyway; is still distorted. Dashboard and windshield removed again ($$$), swapped the rear speakers for the front ones - no problems. I replaced it again with these 501s - the distortion returned on both. Had to buy another set locally (also Polk), works great. I already threw away the packaging so I don't know if Revain will take it back. The Revain update gave me no problems and even sent them back with no packaging and within 48 hours which gave me my money back. So the basic service and customer service from this particular vendor was fine. Also, I've bought Polk speakers before and like I said, I've had no problems with them. I replaced them with a set of Polk speakers I bought locally and all worked fine. I think it was just a bad speaker.
