My factory 02 driver side door speaker has popped. I was all set to get the
Polk Audio db6500 but now the shop that's doing my install suggested the
Diamond Hex Components (S600). Does anyone have these in their Max? How do you like them?

 

the HEX's are very nice comps.

crisp, clean, and warm sound, and very comparable to the Rainbow SLC components which many will recomend on here... and right around the same price.


the HEX's will be better than the Polks, def... I'd let them put them in instead.. or get some rainbows. either way you'll be happy

 

I've never heard the Polk so cant comment, the Hex's havea unique sound. Soild midbass,nice midrange and a uppity tweet. I think they're a little more aggressive than the Rainbows but not by much. No1 can tell you what will sound good to your hears, best bet is to go around and listen to difference soundboards and see what you like.

 

The hex's of today are no where near the hex's of yesteryear. Thats not to say you wouldn't be happy with them, but just not the same overall quality as before.

 

If looking at an old set...2003 era, then its a nice LPG/Eton combo set. Anything current unfortunately isnt worth its weight in poop.

 

yea ive heard you say this before about the new HEX's don... breaks my heart

 

Think how I felt with all the business that I gave DA....

 

I bought the Polk DB6500's from Crutchfield when they had a buy one pair - get another pair for $100 sale. While they were clean, flat and articulate, they lacked the bass response needed for a system (like mine) without a sub-woofer. I was very dissapointed, and put my old factory speakers back in.

 

speaking of comps,

Don, pretty certain Ima convince a friend to get some SLCs. ygpm.

 

How much are the Rainbow SLC components?

 

~ $230 shipped

 

230 shipped is not bad. Who do I contact?
