Hertz Titan II 6.5. Model BT471 (depending on the year of your bike.) That's what I have in mine. Have done a couple of upgrades since 1st Harley in 09, and Hertz is the best yet. Haven't heard the Polk, so I can't compare. Got mine from Biketronics, but don't know where you can get them cheaper. From what I understand, Biketronics sells online only. Hope it helps. (By the way, they'll come with a 6.5" adaptor to make them fit those 5.25" holes where the fairing speakers are now.)

I've had my Hertz for 2 years. They were the Biketronics BT451. Lifetime guarantee. One of them was blown & I sent them back. They replaced them with the new & improved BT 471. Their website will tell you just which ones to get, and they're pretty easy to talk to on the phone. If it looks somewhere, like one set has a tweeter, and one doesn't, maybe they make a component speaker? I got a coaxial so I didn't have to worry about taking out the air temp guage (or something like that) for a place to put the tweeter. Tweeter's in the middle of the speaker. The 6.5" adaptor comes in the box with the speakers. It just makes the "hole" bigger & can accomodate the 6.5 rather than the 5.25 size. (They're good quality speakers, and sound the best, of anything I've had yet.)
