Looking for Polk DB651 or DB652 Speakers... (and an Anchor while I'm at it).

[Fish]

Hi Fellow Boaters!

I need to purchase either a single Polk DB651 or a pair of Polk DB652 speakers. If anyone is upgrading their sound system and wants to sell the factory speakers, please let me know.

I also lost my anchor in the lake last year and need to buy one if someone has one for sale.

Thanks!

Damn, I just threw out all 6 of our old 651's... Do yourself a favor and just buy new ones. They are cheap enough.

I just replaced my factory Jensens with Kickers and they sound 200 times better then the Jensens.

Hi @lazergeek and @1BadTundra, can you please tell we what model# of the kickers are that you purchased? Glad you mentioned they sound better!

Thanks for the help!

I got the BKM61's which have RGB lights built in they were 4 for $250 on Amazon. You will need a RGB Controller for the RGB.

They look great. Thanks @1BadTundra. I don't need the LED colors so the black ones will be good ($175 for a set of four is a good price).
And you mentioned they sound much better than the stock Polk speakers, correct?

I think he means they sound better than the stock Jensen speakers he replaced - Jensen speakers are at the bottom end of car audio and they make many of the cheap paper-cone stock speakers found in cars around the world. Polk and Kicker have similar sound quality so I don't think you'll gain anything by changing all the speakers.

The sound quality is similar to my Polk's... But these are definitely clearer at higher volumes. I tied the LED's to my interior blue accent lights, so that was added effect, if I did it over, I wouldn't have paid the extra for the LED's as they are far outshined by my interior LED kit. I did however use the White LED color on the swim deck speaker, they provide good light on the swim deck for evening boating.

Cool idea with the white LED for the swim platform @1BadTundra. Thanks for your thoughts!

Correct, My boat came with Jensens's, they sounded ok after I put an amp in but still produced no bass. The kickers sound so much better. We only suggested the kickers since the OP was looking for new Polks.
