Agree drilling is a breeze. Even a caveman can do it.
But for speakers, I will suggest These. They are worth the extra few $'s over the Polks' IMO.

Anyone know of a direct replacement for Clarion CM1602s (100W, 4 ohm, dual cone)? Not looking to drill new screw holes or enlarge the speaker opening. As long as it gives decent sound, I'd be satisfied. Thanks, Rick |

takes minutes to install polk DB's. The holes require drilling but no big deal. |

How do they sound "off amp" (just headunit powering)? I know the even the DB651's sound like doo-doo until you have at least 50 amps RMS pumping through them. 100 is better. |

I have not had them "amped" in our boat,just stock HU power. They still sounded better to me than un-amped Polk's. Better yet with an amp in a similar boat. Either way, both brands are an excellent upgrade from that Crap-ion stuff. |

Yeah...$200+ for 4 speakers is more than I need to spend. I now wear hearing aids (they told me I couldn't hear children or women...Perfect!) and it's for a boat...not the greatest environment for sound reproduction. Basically, I'm looking for something that's 1/2 that price that puts out a decent sound. Rick |

Throw in a small amp and people will think you installed a subwoofer on the boat. DB651 are $120 for 4. http://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-6-5-In ... ords=db651 |

I love my DB651's and so does everyone who has come aboard. I did amp them though, 400 in cabin and 300 for the pair in the rear... I will probably need to get hearing aids next... |

The best sounding 6.5" upgrade speaker from a Clarion, Sony, Fusion, Polk, Kenwood, or any other OEM 6.5" speakers is the JL Audio MX650's. Sound great on radio power....add an amp and WOW. |
