I have 4 Polk db 651 speakers in the main area of my boat and decided to put Alpines in the bow because 651 have a very open grill and I thought some cute girl may get her toe stuck in grille or heaven forbid break my speaker.

I have thoroughly tested the grills on the new Kicker speakers and can say with great certainty that neither the grills or the speaker cones can withstand a water balloon impact from one of these: http://www.slingking.com/beast.html

Granted -- it was from very, very close range.

Wotan I cant decide on the blonde or the brunette from the ad.

I have 2 sets of Polk MM651UM on the way to replace the Kenwood speakers in my Roswell tower. Hoping it isn't overkill. They are a little more expensive than the db's, but it looks like they can handle a bit more.

Anyone have any thoughts on whether it is overkill, or a bad choice?

Thanks.

Wetsounds XS-650's after blowing out the tweeters in 6 out of 6 Polk db651 and 4 out of 6 Polk MMC's. No more Polks for me ever, the tweeters just don't take enough power. The XS-650s sound much better too, probably a 20% improvement in overall system sound just by changing the interior speakers.

Since you asked, that was posted today.
