Enjoy a serious boost in audio performance while driving or boating with the Polk DB 5250 two-way vehicle speaker system. Unlike most traditional full-range systems, the DB 5250 comes with a separate tweeter that's mounted apart from the main speakers, so you can find the very best location for playing the high frequencies without losing any low-end thump. Add in an external "fiddle-free" crossover that helps balance the sound and you have a powerful, full-bodied system that satisfies everyone from casual listeners to serious audiophiles. The speakers are certified to withstand the toughest marine environments, so you can install them in ski and wakeboarding boats in addition to cars and trucks. More importantly, the audio performance is as robust as the housing thanks to the 5.25-inch, dynamic balance, polymer/mica composite cone woofers, whose stiffness and light weight create a big sound with little distortion. Meanwhile, the 1-inch silk/polymer composite dome tweeter includes flush and surface mount swivel cups for added audio and installation flexibility.
Also along for the ride are low-mass, two-layer Kapton voice coils that produce a high sound output and robust power handling, along with durable Butyl rubber surrounds that won't fall apart under the stress of extreme temperatures, long exposure to sunlight, or the rigors of time.
Installation is abetted by the multi-hole mounting pattern and shallow mounting depth--a mere 2.44 inches for the main speakers--for easy drop-in installation in almost any vehicle. The vented crossover housing adds to the system's versatility by offering hidden wire channels. The channels are designed to facilitate easier, more professional-looking installs without sacrificing access.
Other features include a pole-plate heat sink that promotes better heat dissipation for superior power handling and reliability; a flat spider that enables faster and longer excursions; flexible woven leads sewn directly into the spider for greater dependability; an electronic tweeter protection circuit; rock-solid, acoustically inert stamped steel baskets with a rustproof gunmetal gray finish; and muscular, computer-optimized ABS grilles.
The DB 5250 system, which offers a frequency response of 53 Hz to 25 kHz and a peak power handling of 200 watts (100 watts continuous), requires a mounting cutout diameter of 4.69 inches for the main speakers and 2 inches for the tweeter. The system is also backed by a one-year warranty.
