Polk Audio db1001 tweeters are really nice. I purchased two pairs of these to add in parallel with my "CDT Audio" door speakers. I'm powering them off a four channel, 135w RMS @ 2 ohms/channel amplifier. They have a nice clean sound that is not harsh to the ears and really brought out the sound stage. After listening to them for a few days I felt they were a little more pronounced then they should be. I also noticed a couple of times they were over attenuated and possibly going into protection mode because they were being overloaded. This problem was, however, easily rectified. I decided, as per Polk's Instruction Manual to take a chance and cut the yellow wire on the crossovers. Cutting the wire changes the attenuation from 12db to 6db. I figured if I didn't like the result that I could always splice them back together. I'm glad I cut the yellow wire as that made all the difference. Now they have the perfect amount of presence blending perfectly with the rest of my sound system. They are no longer being over driven and no more protection mode. If you install these tweeters I would recommend not cutting the yellow wire until you have listened to them for a while. Everybody's music tastes are different and some may like the highs being more pronounced. These tweeters do seem to require some power so if your planning to run them off just a Head Unit I would probably not cut the yellow wire. I am very pleased with the sound and quality and power handling of these tweeters. For my listening tastes, Rock, Hard Rock (no screamo), Independant Rock (some of my favorites) these Polk db1001 tweets are sweet.Read full review
Put these in the 13' Toyota Corolla S stock location. Surface mounted as the cup was much bigger then the surface mount. I also upgraded doors and back deck with DB651's and DB691's. With just the upgrades and no amplifier this made a huge difference. I had replaced the doors and back deck speakers a couple of months before and when I added the tweeters it completely raised the sound stage and improve the experience 2 fold. My wife loves driving her car even more now,

I'm comparing these Polk tweeters to the previous tweeters came with component speakers. They were not high end component, just about $130.00 USD I removed the tweeters came with component speakers, and installed this Polk pair. I found them really making difference, excellent choice and worth every penny.

I've had at most every car tweeter known to mankind and have never heard anything that was as soft, but silky sounding while strong as the "Polk Audio" tweeters...and they do sound like silk, really. I've added the two of these silk tweeters with four-6.5 Polk Audio-s with the same tweeters to my Jeep Liberty. I played the system next to a friend who'd put $10,000 into his system and he was displeased with what he felt was inconceivable. Also, I played the system for a sales person at an audio center which specialize in high-end audio and he called his co-workers outside just to listen...Would you believe I got offered a job...
Put these on a Polaris ranger. They sound awesome. Haven't had then in long but I get the sense the outdoor elements aren't going to hurt them.
