I am deciding between these speakers and Polk Audio TL 1900 system. I know Polk Audio is a good brand, but how good is JBL?

I have mid-range hearing loss and I am hearing sounds I haven't hear before. It is one of the best things I bought lately.

We are happy with the sound but not sure about it compared to a Polk. We use it to watch movies

DT are great, but overpriced, imo. I also own Polk RTI A9s. Yes, the BIC spkr will work perfectly with your system. Why? Simply put, it's a dynamic spkr (range-wise) with a great SPL.

I have an 06 Tl. Depending on which factory head unit you have it may not work well with the ohm rating of this speaker. Also it would depend on if you have a factory unit or if you have made the switch to an aftermarket unit. As I have stated before these speakers are excellent for what they are designed for Marine use,water, moisture, shallow mounting depths etc. They do sound great! The depth will definitely work but the vehicle probably calls for a larger speaker. Again i would urge you to ask a local audio installation co.what size fits the vehicle. After you determine the Correct application size you will see that Polk has some great car speakers available for your use. If after all else considered you are determined to use this speaker, with audio enthusiasts where there is a will there is a way! My advice, correct fit, do your homework, aftermarket/factory? There are lots of variables. Factory has a center channel speaker and a built-in subwoofer with level adjustments for all. Would need to know what you are working with before i can help anymore, John

I like them. But, I like them a lot better with a separate subwoofer. I have a theater set up with two sets of these and a Polk subwoofer. I do like my all-Polk system better, but it was also more expensive.

Since this is not a high receiver, I would not invest a lot of money into high end speakers. Klipse or Polk Audio are good speakers for the price. Not too long ago Best Buy had Klipse speakers on a blowout floor special

I would look at subwoofers other than JBL as they go on sale a lot here and at retail stores. Get one with more watts if you can afford it. You can use any brand.

i saw in the reviews that i read before buying these that a lot of people with different kinds of jeeps bought them for replacement. i bought them for my 06 GMC sierra and they kick but. i don't have them amplified and also have a 12" sub that puts out great lows. Point is they put out enough spun to be heard over the sub with no power pushed to them. i like them a lot but i also have two 6x9's in the front that put out a lot of sound so i can't say how they would sound alone. i would not expect a whole lot of base from them beings it that are a more high to some mid speaker. i recommend a sub to accompany these. Polk speakers have won me over and i bought some 6.5 door speakers that also sound amazing! i saw in the reviews that i read before buying these that a lot of people with different kinds of jeeps bought them for replacement. i bought them for my 06 GMC sierra and they kick but. i don't have them amplified and also have a 12" sub that puts out great lows.

Get a yamaha or a denon. These are comparitvely priced and will not disappoint you. As far a speakers go with polk. Yes I know you friends are probably telling you bose - don't listen. Actually do listen, if the can hear side by side polk and bose played through a yamaha, denon or harmon karden you will wonder why boses were ever invented

I'm not an expert,BUT in my opinion thru MY experiences, I would ask - if you have THE TOP OF THE LINE JL 13W7AE sub , why would you not go with an amp from JL.?? Get in contact with JL. They are glad to help with your questions. I used the JL 1200 amp. The speaker RMS is rated at 1500 watt RMS - what is the rating on the memphis ?? Next question is - do you just want loud music or do you want sound perfection ??? Some people have louder music than myself BUT everybody states to me that my system sounds better. QUALITY OUT WEIGHS LOUDNESS. My system has Clear deep bass - perfect impact mid range and crisp highs and ALL powered by JL AUDIO. I'm running 4- MHD 4-600 amps & 3 MHD 750 amps and a JL 1200 for the 13w7ae. Does NOT get any better. I'd like to put 4 of the new 8" speakers in my boat but I ran out of room.

Can't really provide an opinion based on comparison. I have not had the opportunity to hear the Polk DB6501's. Have really liked the Alpine SPR60s though. When I did my research before purchasing the Alpines Polk's rated very high. Try to visit a local audio shop in your area that carries both brands and listen for your self. I can tell you that you can't go wrong with the Alpines they produce good quality sound.

Hi Paul, I will tell you that I spoke with a crutchfield guy for recommendations prior to my Denon purchase. I have allways been partial to Polk Audio speakers. Since this is a entry level Av receiver, I went with the Polk Audio TSx 330T Tower Speaker , also the CSi4 Center speaker. The center speaker is very important as the dialogue in movies generally come from the center speaker. I'm very happy with them. You can get them direct from Polk Audio for about $210 with free shipping.

All good points about speakers. I have a preference for Polk audio myself. However, just to make clear. The Azure is a pre-amp. You will still need, at the very least, a stereo receiver of above to hook into.

I am using a Pioneer 7.2 surround system with mine, but I ended up buying another sattalite speaker to round out the system, and an Infinity Center channel. The bass is great from the jbl sub, but mine went out right after the warranty from amazon was up. I purchased a polk 12in sub...its amazing...subsonic

You can go for the Polk Audio TRiA Series because you could take advantage of its Bi-Amp feature. I personally use a pair of Floorstanding speakers, but the RTiAs are rock-solid!!

Depends on your budget and size restrictions. BIC F12 might be complimentary. I wouldn't go polk for the price.

I think the best bang for your buck in a top quality speaker, is Paradigm. I have the Studio 40's and I am very happy with them. You can get better speakers but you will have to pay double what the Paradigms' cost, which is about 700.00 each, but in my opinion they are hard to beat. Check'em out.

Let me take a look at mine, what type of speakers? I usually connect mine to JBL'S.
