I've had a pair of Polk DB525 5.25" speakers listed in the Garage Sale that didn't sell, so I'm going to offer them up for karma.

http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64797

To be eligible, all I ask is that you currently have an actual use for them in your personal vehicle or a family member's or a good friend.

This karma closes on Saturday.

Thanks.

    In please please please. My speakers in my **** mazda protege suck! It's a 6 speaker stereo with the door speakers disconnected and the rear deck speakers blown.

    (I do have MOMO comps in the front though)

    I'd still really appreciate them! They'd get put to good use :)

    these speaks would fit in my sister's car quite nicely. i feel like i owe her something because i forgot her birthday, christmas gift, AND going away present this year. (she went overseas to Jordan for foreign studies.) Wouldn't it be nice to get in your car after 6 months, and hear your cd's in a whole new light?

    man i would love you forever if i got 'em, that's for sure. it would save my **** lol!

    Yeah I'm in Early. My stock speak's absolutely bite and it would be nice to listen to a pair of Polk's as I rumble down the road.

    In Please!
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.

    I'm in. I was working on a lady friend's WRX today, and her front speaks are completely tanked. These would be perfect!

    I've never heard a set but would love to. I bought a set of Momo's but never installed them. I'd pull my Hertz out and give them a try but that woiuldn't do me any good. But Mary's car speaks sux eggs. She deserves something better. In the way of speaks....thats all.

    I'm in.

    Cool. Let us know if the Polks are an improvement over your stock speakers.

    I put a pair of db650's in the rear doors of my pathfinder and couldn't be happier. Kudos to polk for making quality car gear also.
