Such a good deal that I just ordered a few more sets... Already replaced the 4 cockpit speakers... Had a 3rd set with intentions of expanding the cockpit. I just purchased 1 new set for me to replace the cabin speakers with my extra set... And, I picked up 2 sets as a gift for my dad to use in his 1949 Chevy 5 window restoration process. Had to pay sales tax... but still a very good deal at that! Everybody should do this upgrade 'just because' it's so frigging cheap! WOW! |

Wow--the price on these is amazing. I have been tempted to upgrade the Clarion speakers on my 2005 to these--but I am not sure I want the look of the modern silver grills. Has anyone used these with the white factory grills? Do the holes for the screws line up the same? |

I don't believe the Clarion grills will attach to the Polk speakers. They just snap on and need the lip on the Clarion speakers. |

Damn, if I didnt already have a new pair in the box in the garage, I would be all over this. That is so freaking cheap! I am very happy with them so far and I know when I add this 3rd pair to the boat, its really going to rock. |

Great price , Great speakers. Someday when my 10/11 year old stock Sonys' die, I may have to get a pair of these. And to answer firecadets' question he posted last night, and mysteriously deleted..... Yes, there WILL be a noticable difference between the Polk's and the stock Clarion speakers with the stock HU. Almost night and day difference. The Polk's will sound much better. |

Should also add that there is a tremendous improvement over just the stock Sony's as well. Our boat had the 1620's (the 'upgraded factory system') - and the Polk's are far better. Still not JL -- but JLs are what - almost 10X the price? CRAZY. |

I am really torn--because everyone has raved about these speakers. I know I am probably being weird about preferring the factory grills. I just like the more classic look. Anyone ever try painting the Polk grills white? Not sure what kind of paint I would use and how it would hold up? I know--I'm thinking about this way too much! |

No, Eric, you're not being weird. I've had two pairs of them for a couple months now, and haven't installed them because I'm not sure what to do about the grilles. In addition, I've got the factory upgraded system which means I have separate surface mounted tweeter housings next to each woofer. Putting a different color and style of grille next to those would just look stupid, but I can't just take them off because each one has a small hole through the panel for wire access, and screw holes. |

Match the paint on the Polk grills and paint the factory tweeter housing. Even if it is only a "dummy" tweeter I agree it would look better than the holes. Or for that matter paint the Polk housings white although that probably wouldn't look good. |

Yeah, I considered both options and am not sure I'd be happy with either one. |
