Polk audio has been producing car speakers from the United States for over 30 years. Speakers from Polk audio are known for performance and innovation while being available to more consumers at an affordable price. Polk has some great options for your car speaker system, so here are some things to keep in mind when you buy Polk car speakers.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Pick the size of Polk speakers you want for your car. The size of the speakers is important to the quality of audio that they will produce. The size of speakers is also important, because it helps determine if the speakers will fit in your vehicle. Check the vehicle fit guide on the Polk website to get a better idea of what size of speakers you need.

  2. Step 2

    Choose between a component and coaxial speaker system. Polk offers quality speakers in both component and coaxial configurations, so the choice is what you want and what you can afford. Component speakers have separate woofers and tweeters that can be mounted in different places to create a magnificent soundscape, but the quality comes at a cost. For a more affordable option, coaxial speakers have tweeters mounted on the woofer, which can diminish sound quality when compared to component speakers, but coaxial speakers are still heads and tails better than the factory speakers in your car.

  3. Step 3

    Check out the component tweeter options from Polk. If you don't need a full component system, the db1000 and db1001 speakers are a great option to add a little to your current setup.

  4. Step 4

    Get a subwoofer from Polk to add the thump to your car. Polk offers subwoofers in 8-inch, 10-inch, 12-inch and 15-inch models, and range from less than $100 to more than $400. Just make sure you have the room for the sub in your car.

  5. Step 5

    Make sure you have an amplifier that is capable of powering your new system. Polk offers a few different amplifiers that can adequately power your system. Whether it's a Polk amplifier or one from your favorite brand, you will need an amp to power your new system, so budget it in.
