seriously man? this is a forum to talk about CIVICS. this is not a forum to write reviews on car speakers. im sure there are tons of info on this speaker on the net, why ask in a forum about civics.

Because they are going in a civic. Sound will be different in every car. Therefore im going to want to know if anyone has them on here to see how they sound in a civic, Since this is a civic forum. Just like questions on any other equipment or part. your going to want to know how it performs on the car your going to use it on. Idk why so many ppl need to get so serious. And trash talk. If you dont want to answer then dont. its just a forum.

Gonna have to agree...no reason to jump down the dudes throat. This forum is not in its prime anymore and could use all the traffic it can get. You've helped me out before civicsrcool so don't take this the wrong way. As to the original poster...try checking out a review and posting it here and then asking the question that way people have something to base their opinions on.

They sound great.

I would have only said "very good" until I removed a piece of wood that I had over the door port (a long story!). Once this speaker had room to breathe the sound is fantastic - very rich, open and detailed. The bass is amazing. It really shakes the car without distorting - and I don't have a subwoofer anymore.

I am a car stereo enthusiast without a budget so my "system" is a:

'96 Honda civic stock radio (Alpine, with cassette)
75 WPC mtx amp with .75f capacitor (picked up at electronics shop for $15)
These Polk speakers mounted in the front doors (regular position).
About 300lbs. of sound deadening material including roofing tar and shingles.

The sheer stupidity of putting the tar in my car is pointed out to me regularly by my wife and I have to agree - don't do this at home! However - it was dirt cheap and provides incredible bass response.
I used to have an 8" sub but these speakers go down so low that it would not make any sense to put it back. I have all 75w going to the Polks. I listen to stuff on the radio and prefer metal but the Polks make any radio mix sound very
