Default Polk DB speakers

They sound pretty good in the store, wondering how they sound on the bike. I'm probably getting the 6.5's and 6x9's with the Fosgate 300.4 amp

Had a pair of the DB 651's on my bike, they sound great!....BUT there was one small problem that my friend and myself had with them, there is a small capacitor next to where the wire connects to the speaker, it will break from the vibrations of the bike after time, I re-soldered mine several times and finally gave up and went with a set of Rockford Fosgate Prime R1653 speakers, they are 3 way, the Polk DB's are 2 way. The Fosgates sound much better IMO.

I have that exact set up you are thinking about going with. I haven't had any issues with them and they sound great.
