I recently purchased the ex693a model at Circuit City based on numerous reviews saying that they were the best speaker for your dollar.

I have yet had the time to install them into my factory opening and just have them sitting in my backseat. I get very little bass response from them and the overall sound is not up to the Polk standard. Can someone tell me if this will go away and the speakers will perform up to the standard that you would expect of Polk Audio when I drop them in my factory openings?

Thanks in advance

    Any speaker is going to sound like crap if it's lying on the back seat. Put them the factory openings or at least some kind of enclosure.

    ( Still got those Monitor 10's, Scott? I wish I was a little closer!)

    The guys are trying to tell you yes. When you don't have it in an enclosure of some sort, a raw woofers back wave is allowed to come around the basket, and cancel out the front wave. This equals no bass. Put them in an enclosure of some sort and I think you'll be happier. This question belongs in "The Infield" which is car stereo.

    Just wanted to say that I was just kidding and wasn't trying to be a smart-*** with my first reply. I apologize if that's the way it was taken. I think it's great that people can get on here and ask questions and learn about speakers and whatever else. I've done it myself many times :confused: .

    ...for the heck of it. And YES I am tring to be a stick in the mud.

    Are you car audio guys aware that Polk took the rest of the members forum that used to be the Design/Theory Forum and donated it to you car audio fans as the dedicated "Car Stereo Forum"? Or has this escaped you? What gives? Is it that you have no luck with your questions in the "Car Stereo Forum" or what? I'm curious, help me understand the need to use this Forum for "Car Stereo" questions/problems.

    And don't miss the point of my post here:
    I know what some are thinking already, no, I don't have anything against someone being a car audio buff.
