Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Jo Greene Go ahead, circle the parking lot till your favorite song is over. Polk Audio's DXi Series speakers will make you want to hit "repeat" so you can hear it all over again. Polk uses a high-tech approach and ideal materials to give your tunes an exciting new edge. Precision woofers showcase your music Polk's DXi6500 component speaker system features 6-1/2" woofers with polymer/mica composite cones that are lightweight and stiff, so they can create a big sound with minimal distortion. Polk analyzes their drivers in motion to ensure that cone movement is even and precise. Polk also uses laser imaging to craft woofer cones that are perfectly balanced to resist distortion-causing resonances. Silk/polymer dome tweeters broadcast sweet sound Rest assured, you'll hear every detail of your most enthralling musical moments. Each 1" silk/polymer dome tweeter brings out the high-frequency highlights in your music, and a proprietary magnetic liquid cools the tweeters so you'll get clear sound and excellent long-term performance. You can set your own stage — surface- or flush-mount the tweeters with the included swivel-mount cups, and aim the tweeters towards your ears so you can really enjoy the show. External crossovers for stand-out detail Polk includes high-quality crossover networks that create a smooth transition between woofer and tweeter, so you'll hear accurate, balanced performance from this system. From an intensely quiet acoustic pluck to the most exhilarating electric solo, it'll be a very entertaining ride.

A component speaker system gives you the best possible performance from your car audio system. A system consists of separate woofers, tweeters, and crossovers, each designed to cover one specific range of frequencies. As separate components, the woofer can move freely to deliver more powerful performance, while the tweeter can be custom-mounted in a better spot up closer to your ears, revealing a whole new world of detail. Separate crossovers are far superior to the simple filters wired into full-range speakers, so the components work together for smoother, more focused sound.

Standard component install with great power handling and clarity. Amazingly clear at high volumes and no crossover, full range. Pros: Excellent value, great power handling and clarity Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes No sounds good Written By tony, wichita,kansas on Wednesday, January 01, 2014 Improvement over stock speakers my kid was amazed at the difference these speakers made in the overall sound of her head unit. These speakers were not listed to fit the front doors of her suzuki reno, but after a chat with advisor CJ I was told there shouldn't be a problem. No problem at all, tweets fit and woofers bolted right in. Thanx again Crutchfield for making it easy on a dad with a budget. Problem now is I have to purchase the rear doors hope I can find as good of deal on them, I'll be looking. Pros: Perfect fit sound great Cons: Made in China. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great set of component speakers Written By BrandonB, Bristol, TN on Tuesday, December 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Absolutely great set of components, especially with the sale price I managed to pick them up at. Sound is very well rounded from bass all the through typically harsh symbol crashes. The tweeters are a bit bright out of the box, but they settle in nicely and the adjustable crossover definitely helps with that. The crossovers and be a bit difficult to mount, that is a given with any component system. Pros: Smooth, excellent sound over the entire music spectrum. Cons: Mounting options for crossovers Was this review helpful? Yes No Better sound in JK Unlimited Written By MadMas, Fairfield, CT on Tuesday, December 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought these speakers and was told by people on the Jeep Wrangler JK forums that they were going to suck becuase the head unit in the Wrangler was this that or the other thing. Truth...be told is that these speakers kick some serious butt with the factory head unit. I fabricated a small bracket to put the tweeter in the location of the factory unit, and the woofer in the stock position. I matched it with the Polk 651s in the sound bar. What a difference. Pros: much better sound Cons: hard to find a good spot to mount the crossover...this is a car issue Was this review helpful? Yes No Great speakers Written By Fanarkin, Salt Lake City,UT on Friday, December 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Woke up the factory system completely.Installed in the rear doors of my 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee and I can't believe the improvement it has made. I used to have to fade all the way to the rear to hear the back speakers, now it is set in the center position because of the clarity of the Polks. Great choice. Pros: Sound great.Fits in factory recesses with the included adapters.Cleans up the muddiness of the factory system. Cons: Finding a place to hide the crossovers. Was this review helpful? Yes No DXi6500 in 2013 Toyota Tacoma D-Cab Written By LT, Honolulu, HI on Thursday, December 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I like these speakers, but they need more power than the factory stereo provides. I don't usually listen to the stereo too loud anyway so these work fine for me. If you need loud volume, you definitely want to run these off an amp. They are still 100 times better than the stock speakers. And you can't beat the price. The installation was relatively easy, but required some minor customization for the tweeter. Pros: Clean, smooth sound. Good build quality. Cons: Begging for more power for good volume. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Set Written By Anonymous, New York on Monday, December 09, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Just got this set. Sound great. Was this review helpful? Yes No Polk Written By LT, Loveland, CO on Saturday, December 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) very good sound, very clear and crisp Was this review helpful? Yes No Polk Audio DXi6500 Written By Brian, Gorham, NH on Monday, December 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The speakers sound great as rear door replacements in my '01 Tahoe. Only issue is that there are no vehicle specific instructions included or available from crutchfield. Tweeter/crossover placement took a while to set up (door panel clearance, etc..) Pros: Sound better than stock. Cons: No vehicle specific installation instructions Was this review helpful? Yes No Great deal Written By Chris, New Been, NC on Sunday, December 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great deal for the money. Nice to finally hear the tunes. Pros: Easy to install Cons: None so far. Was this review helpful? Yes No 6 1/2 components Written By 6Nola, Jonesboro Ga. on Saturday, November 30, 2013 I think for a first time buyer I did pretty good with the help of a Crutchfield associate. The speakers are great and ad much needed highs to my system. Pros: I should've gotten help from technician and installed myself. Cons: I had no advice before hand. Was this review helpful? Yes No Awesome Speakers Written By JC, Brunswick, GA on Saturday, November 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these for the front speakers and I bought the Polk Audio DXi650 for my rear speakers for my 2008 Chev Avalanche. I installed these to go along with my newly installed Kenwood DPX500BT. This system sounds AWESOME! The bass is very rich and powerful. The highs are super crisp. Very easy to install. Crutchfield sent me everything I needed for a easy install. Cudos to Jenny, my sales advisor, she was awesome walking me through my purchase.... Pros: Great sounding speakers. The bass is powerful and the highs are super crisp. Cons: NONE! Was this review helpful? Yes No Sound awesome! Written By tburton85, Wilmington, DE on Wednesday, August 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers sound awesome and I'm only running them off of my kenwood stereo. 100x better than factory speakers in my 2013 Jeep Wrangler. Love the different mounting options for the tweeters, fit perfectly. Pros: Sound crisp, clear, and loud! Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes No Better than my old Boston Acoustics !!!!! Written By Mando, Houston, Texas on Saturday, July 06, 2013 I used these to replace my Boston Acoustics SR60's in my 2011 Toyota Tacoma Access Cab PU. These sound so much better ! One of the BA woofers blew and BA wanted almost $100 for a replacement. I'm so glad I bought these instead. They sound so much better all the way around. As others have noted, the tweeter can be a little harsh if not set correctly. Because of the location of the tweeters in my Tacoma I had to set the tweeters to -3 db on the crossover and it rocks ! Unlike others, I found them to produce a nice tight mid bass. I'm pushing these with a JL Audio XD500/3 along with a JL Audio 8W3V3-4 subwoofer in a custom box designed to fit in place of the rear center console. This combination rocks my Tacoma with hard pounding bass, nice tight mid bass and clean smooth highs - absolutely NO DISTORTION, even at volumes that are typically too loud for most of my passengers. I'm more impressed with these than my old Boston Acoustics. I'm glad one of the SR60 woofers blew, I'm so much happier with these ! I'm only running one set of these in the front door panels and the sub in the rear - hence the 3 channel JL Audio Power Amp. This combination does an excellent job for any type of music - from Jazz, rock to bass thumping rap. Pros: Easy install, adjustable tweeter setting, nice tight bass response with smooth clean highs. Cons: None ! Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent Sound; Good Bass; Written By MarcT, Harrisburg, PA on Sunday, June 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am quite pleased with these speakers, especially since I could not audition them anywhere. I hate you cannot find speakers you want to buy and listen to them first. So these should not disappoint most people. These speakers provider good, clear sound. The highs can be a little bright but they can be dampened with the crossover or your head unit. Yes, these do not have pounding bass. Anyone expecting bass for rap music or other heavy bass music need to go out and buy a sub-woofer. Anyone expecting great bass out of a coaxial speaker or component system like this just do not understand speakers or sound. Good solid bass for most people. If you want to vibrate the hell out of your car and you, buy a sub-woofer and provide it with some serious wattage. For 95% of the folks upgrading their OEM speakers, these will be a big improvement. Installation went smoothly. Instructions from Crutchfield are far better than what comes with the Polk speakers. I would suggest taking off your door panel before ordering to be sure the crossover has a place to fit. I was lucky and found the one spot on the door where it will work on a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe. Plenty of wire was provided and the speaker covers are fairly normal; not very outrageous. Good for the older and conservative folks. The bass is solid; just don't expect any thumpin'. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Speakers Written By Rodney, Pinson, AL on Thursday, May 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great set of speakers very clean and powerful. Great crossover for tweeter you can switch from 0db,+3db,and -3db Pros: Great sound Cons: N/A 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Polk Audio speakers Written By XMan714, Chicago, IL on Saturday, May 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers replaced a pair of blown Boston Acoustic speakers in the rear deck of my car. Powered by a JL Audio 300/4 v2, they are bright and very clean. These were purchased at Crutchfield, and for the price they are probably the best bang for the buck. Pros: Bright, clean sound. Was this review helpful? Yes No Poor sound quality Written By Jerome, APO Okinawa, Japan on Sunday, May 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've installed and had several types of component speaker systems and the sound quality of these speakers were disappointing. I'm running them off a Kenwood Excellion 600 watt Amp, and Kenwood 719 DVD head unit. With both of these components and the numerous sound settings, these speakers should have been rocking. In my opinion, I could have gotten better sound from none comments speakers. Besides the sound quality, they were easy to install with everything that came in the box; I didn't need to use the speaker brackets or make any modifications. They fit perfectly in the 6 1/2" openings where my old speakers were. Pros: Install was very easy. Cons: I was not impress with the sound quality. Tweeters didn't come with an upright facing mount, therefore, the maximum adjustment angle is roughly 20%. I could have gotten better sound quality for less. Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent in all Categories Written By stcopley, Minnesota on Friday, May 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I use these speakers in my competition car along with the composite 6x9s in the rear at 110 rms for all of them and they still work great even being pushed past their supposed limit. Crystal clear with an excellent note range dynamatted all the way around. This is in a 1996 Honda Civic Hatchback However, I have them in my 2003 Dodge Durango as well for just daily driving at 60rms each, and they still amaze me even with no special prepping done. I've been through a lot of speakers, but none of this value yet. Pros: Excellent Value, clear and wide range of sound Cons: Aftermarket Grills are too large for most applications. Was this review helpful? Yes No Polk Audio DXi6500 Written By Anonymous, Oklahoma City, OK on Tuesday, May 14, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Outstanding component speakers especially for the price! Was this review helpful? Yes No Awesome sound / so-so instructions Written By Kevin, Grand Rapids, MI on Sunday, May 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) First let me say that these speakers sound incredible and are a world of improvement over the stock speakers in my Jeep. The highs are a little bright so I set the crossover switch to -3db to help even out the sound. The install was a definite pain. The instructions for the most part were correct, but I wonder if they were updated to include other years than the one shown on the first page. The passenger side installation went without any problems, but the drivers side was a nightmare. No matter how I tried I couldn't get the factory speaker enclosure out of the dash, so I had to remove/install the speaker while reaching up inside the dash. Splicing the wires went ok until you need to tie into the factory feed from the radio, there was nothing in the instructions about which wire was positive/negative (one was gray/yellow, one was gray/purple). Kudos to Crutchfield support who knew the answer (they might want to add the answer to the instructions). Even though I had some difficulty with the install, it was well worth it. Pros: Great sound, Crutchfield support Cons: Incomplete installation instructions Was this review helpful? Yes No Great sounds, lacks bass Written By Andy, Florida on Monday, May 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great sound and crossover controls. Very clear but has a void in the mid bass range that detracts from this set. Better than my factory but definitely lacking. Will probably try a different set in the future. Pros: Great clarity Cons: Lacking mid bass 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Polk DXi 6500 Written By Dr. Steve, North Kingstown, R.I. on Thursday, May 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent sound and quality construction make these efficient speakers an excellent choice. Pros: Marine grade so moisture in the doors shouldn't affect them. Cons: None. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Polk Audio DXi6500 Written By Anonymous, Franklinton, La. on Wednesday, May 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great speakers Was this review helpful? Yes No Tacoma sounds great now!! Written By Eric D, San Diego on Sunday, April 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great sound and easy to install. I had to modify the factory tweeter a little (gut it) to mount the new one. The brackets for the mid fit perfectly. I hide the crossover behind the mids in the door. I am pushing them with just a Clarion head unit. I could probably use an amp but they sound pretty danm good without. Much, much, much better than the stock paper crap they call speakers. The lows are good but if you want great sound everyone needs a sub. Pros: Great sound without amp Cons: None 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No too brilliant Written By Mike, Kyle, TX on Thursday, April 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Nice speakers, sound good. But they have too much brilliance. Best to put the switch on the crossover to -6db or the highs just take over everything. Pros: Adapter rings a BIG plus, was able to fit it to the VW's front door 8" opening with help from a spacer I got from Amazon. Cons: Too much high, but hoping once I rip the door panels off and adjust the switch, they will sound better 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Couldn't be any happier with this setup!!! Pros: Amazing sound and even great bass from a 6 1/2 woofer! Cons: Speaker grills are easily bent and damaged if not extremely careful 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Clean and crisp Written By Jaybo, Newport, VT on Saturday, April 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I got this to go along with my Alpine r-12sub and 2 amps kenwood/alpine. Install was a piece of cake and the sound is fantastic. It has really pleasant crisp and clean sound; add in the nice highs and lows and you are really getting what you pay for. My best system setup to date. Pros: Easy install and all around great sound experience. Cons: None to date. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No excellent Written By Steve, pa on Wednesday, April 03, 2013 I don't normally review products of any kind, but I am for these because I think they are exceptional speakers, especially for the money. I'm not sure what the reviewers who stated these have little or no bass response are powering them with (likely a weak factory or aftermarket deck), but I have no problem at all with the bass response of these speakers. I am powering them with an old school Hifonics Thor series viii (125 x 2 rms), and have them crossed over at 80 hz, with a 12 db/octave slope, and get plenty of bass and no distortion, even at high volume and with driving them with slightly more power than their rms power rating of 100 watts. I can cross them at 60 hz and get slightly more bass, but at high volumes I do get some slight distortion so I opt for 80 hz. I hope this review is useful to someone. I almost didn't buy these speakers due to the reviews of no bass response, but used properly, this is just not true. I suspect some people are either under powering these speakers or expecting them to perform like a subwoofer, or both. Pros: sound quality, power handling, price Cons: none 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Awsome Sound From a Small Speaker Written By Jackson, Sykesville, MD on Wednesday, April 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The speakers hit a lot harder than expected and I am overall satisfied with this purchase. Installation was a breeze into my 2001 Nissan Sentra Rear deck. Overall I have replaced all of the car speakers with DXI series speakers while spending under $300 these speakers sound better than my friends $1500 Kicker sound system. I would defiantly recommend this speaker for someone that likes basey music or just likes loud clear music. Pros: Bass, Quality, Ease of installation Cons: A little distorted at high volumes due to too much power from head unit Was this review helpful? Yes No Good replacement Written By Ganicos36, miami beach on Monday, April 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) after tried this components speakers in the front and rear the Polk Audio DXi 650s i would say the sound really good, im not an expert but im really picky, high is so clear and perfect, but when u turn it up is a lit distortion, the receiver im using is Alpine CDE-135BT, the sound loud and good quality compared with the stock speakers, i just installed them in my accord 2010 sedan LX, u can see the difference, overall, amazing quality, but bass from 1-10 i would say 1 or 2, not kidding, i had to buy right away a KICKER TS10L3 SINGLE 10" , because u can see there is missing something, i decided to give a tried 2 this POLK based on the good reviews, and im happy i wasn't wrong, ill recommend this to someone looking for an upgrade in ur audio system, but if are looking for BASS, this is not for u, or if u are willing to add an AMP and SUB go for it, but i know not every body does that, Alright thats it thank u for reading guys 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No No Bass Whatsoever Written By GrantG, west palm beach, FL on Wednesday, March 13, 2013 These speakers sound great and are extremely clear, but have no bass in them at all. I wasn't looking for them to sound like 2 12's but I was hoping for a little bit more punch to them. If you want a full range of sound, you'll need a subwoofer to fill them in. They really shine in the upper mids and highs, but don't make anything even in some of the lower mids. Pros: Very clear, little distortion at high volumes Cons: weak low end Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Sound, Easy Installation Written By dn, Columbia, SC on Tuesday, March 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These component speakers were easy to install and they give off a great sound. The price wasn't bad. Pros: great sound Cons: none Was this review helpful?

Yes No sound is great Written By DaveS, Sitka, Ak on Saturday, March 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed in a 2012 Tacoma in the front doors. I am powering these via a Alpine KTP445U. They are crystal clear and great all around speakers. I was looking at much more expensive speakers but am glad that I went with these. My volume level has increased and i can turn the volume up to a point where it is unbearable to listen to without any distortion at all. The install was very easy and the fit and finish is excellent. I set the tweeters at 0 on the crossovers and it is perfect for my truck. I highly recommend the Polk Audio speakers to anyone who wants crystal clear sound at a great price!

Cons: Wish it would handle more RMS! Was this review helpful? Yes No Really Nice Written By Billy, Massapequa Park, NY on Thursday, January 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers are just amazing, The tweeters can be a little harsh at times but all you need to do is adjust the eq. The bass is very good for a component system at this price. Originally had a Kenwood component set the sucked, so I returned them and got these and Wow. What a difference. Im using them with no amp and the original stock radio and they are still really great. Cant wait to upgrade the head unit and add an amp cause it can only get better from here! Pros: Good Bass, Great packaging, Made in AMERICA, Cons: . 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great sounding Speakers Written By mswhite1997, Sevierville, TN on Saturday, January 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these for my 2005 Tacoma to upgrade my speakers. The speakers have a great sound, and work good off of my Pioneer DVD unit. Installation takes a little while. The only thing Crutchfield missed in my installation items was metal brackets to mount the tweaters on. If these go into a factory tweeter spot behind a door panel, make sure to ask for the metal brackets. They look like metal pipe hangers. long thin sheet metal with holes in it. Also, make sure to buy extra wire like I did, so you don't have to mount the Crossovers in the door. Water could get to them, and then you are buying new speakers. My next step is to buy an amp to see how these sound with a little more power behind them. Pros: great sounding Cons: Crutchfield missed the bracket for mounting the tweeter, but improvised. Installation takes a while, but I knew that going in. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Major improvement Written By HARLEQUIN, Long Island on Sunday, December 30, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I had Pioneer 2 way 6-1/2" speakers in both doors and the sound was very harsh to the point where I couldn't listen to my system. I have always loved POLK speakers and am happy that they are made in the USA as well. I have many POLK speakers at home so I thought it was worth trying their car speakers. The guy at POLK recommended going with a component set up this time which makes a lot of sense. I put the POLK's in and the difference was night and day. The harshness is gone and the sound is real! Thank you POLK. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Polk DXi6500 Written By JayGrif, Clementon, New Jersey on Tuesday, December 04, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great moderately priced set of components. I installed these in the rear doors of my 2003 KIA Sorento & I'm very happy with the sound. I custom installed the tweeters in the pillars between the front & rear doors & these Polks sound great. I'm feeding them 60w RMS from a Kenwood KAC-8405. These speakers are a big upgrade from any stock set up but you should definitely power them with an amp to bring out their full potential. I can turn my HU volume up to max without distortion. I have a Kenwood Excelon x994 HU that has some very good e.q. & time alignment adjustments so I can really fine tune my system. The highs & mids are excellent & the tweeters are not too harsh or bright. The bass response is moderate but that is to be expected, get a sub woofer to fill in the lows. I have Polk DB 6501's in the front doors & an MTX JH4510-2XD enclosed sub woofer powered by a Kenwood KAC 8105D amp to round out my system. I couldn't be more pleased with the overall balance of my system. I've now completed a 2 year gradual component by component replacement of my factory sound system. Buy these Polks and you won't be disappointed!! Pros: Good components that can handle lots of power. Tweeters not as bright or harsh as others in this range. CRUTCHFIELD technical support & customer service. Cons: None. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Polk Audio DXi6500 Written By Glen, Chicago on Wednesday, November 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed my new speakers this past weekend. They replaced the stock ones. This is on a 2012 Toyota Tacoma AccessCab. They were a well needed improvment. They have great sound but I need to upgrade the stock stereo to feed them more power. With the stock stereo the speakers start to distort at higher volume. I had to call tech support on the wiring harness. The stock speakers had a seperate tweeter and mid range. When I asked tech support on what wires feed the cross over I was told to just use the wires that went to the stock mid range. I found on my own that the wire going to the tweeter has to have the jumper left connected to feed the new speakers. Pros: Very good sound. Fairly ez to hook up. Cons: none 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Wow Written By Headdawd, VA on Saturday, October 20, 2012 Th installation for this product was super easy, felt like I needed the easy button.. The sound is outstanding I have gone through 5 different speakers and these blow everything I've heard out the water. They have good tight bass and incredible highs. I know at least for me the price is on the high side but treat yourself as an ole saying goes you get what you pay for and for me these were worth the money!!! Pros: Great sound, pevitable tweeters, east installation Cons: Nothing comes to mind 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Very Nice Improvement Written By Rich, Fremont, OH on Thursday, September 27, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Replacing the old stock speakers in my 2001 Siverado with these Polk Audio DXi6500's was a very nice improvement. The woofers needed some break in time to show their nice bass potential which is normal. The tweeters are just great. Had to do some modification with the old tweeter mount with the Dremel tool but the new tweeters flush fit in nicely. Did not need the adapter brackets for the woofers and mounted them directly to the steel door frame, however, this left a space between the door and the inside panel. Glued some foam strips on the inside panel around the opening to fill this in a bit. Sound improvement is great even with the stock radio Pros: Nice sound and the tweeter is very crisp. Good imaging as external crossover makes a huge difference in lieu of just a capacitor in line. Crossover small enough to be secured inside the door. Cons: The adapter bracket could not be easily secured to the steel door of the truck but really didn't need it. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Still on the fence Written By Twin Cam Special, Seattle WA on Thursday, September 06, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed these speakers along with a new JVC head unit into my 2012 Subaru WRX. It seemed I was in for a treat when I got the speakers connected up on the first side and momentarily ran power to them before putting the door back together. However, after reassembling everything and listening to some of my favorite music I can only say that they are at least good enough, that they have grown on me as I've put a few hours of music through them, and overall I'm happy with the purchase. I also slapped Dynamat on both doors, and this certainly helped with enhancing the music. And double checked polarity settings on the crossovers, so no issues there. If you have any audiophile inclinations I would recommend a higher grade of speakers, such as the MM5251s. After all, if you can afford a few extra hundred, you're going to be living with your choice for a while, so you may as well pony up for something really remarkable if you can. Pros: Good to excellent sound quality, especially for the price. Great at playing "Unchained" album by Johnny Cash. Cons: Close to remarkable. Loud and clear yes, maybe not quite as stunningly and awesomely gratifying as a higher grade of speaker might be. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Just pure awesome Written By FishFry, Casper, WY on Monday, September 03, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these speakers to go with a kenwood KDC X494 deck and a JL w6 sub. The deck and sub have been installed for about 2 years now and I was wanting more of the high end notes. I wanted something that was easy to install and could add a amp later if I wanted. I spent a few hours putting the speakers in. None of the brackets for the tweeters really fit my complex venting area (04 jeep liberty) so I just took my old tweeter, cut out the cone and magnet, and just put the new one in with the bracket. Firing the system up I had my volume on 1/3 of the way and I could already tell a difference. Up to a decent volume the highs were absolutely incredible. They cymbals were ridiculously clear, sounding like I was the drummer. Female voices sound especially good. I can even hear the singer take a breath. It is just incredible. I am very happy. I will probably not put an amp to this guys because my deck provides enough power for me and they are plenty loud. I ran into some wiring questions and instead of blindly finding my way around the internet I called the product support service number and within 15 sec I was talking to a very knowledgeable service rep who was more than happy to answer my questions. He also gave me some tips about mounting and some better ways to run wires. Pros: Incredibly clear, very loud, quality speaker, GREAT customer support. Cons: None 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great sound Written By Bill S, Richmond VA 23233 on Tuesday, August 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Speakers sound great in my T 4Runner. Great bass and sweet highs. Powered by Kenwood amp and really rocks. 1 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No DXi6500 Fan Written By Anonymous, Hague, Virginia on Wednesday, July 25, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I love the speakers & components that have clear sound & bass.

Cons: N/A 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Clean and Clear Written By Anonymous, Levittown, PA on Wednesday, July 11, 2012 I just installed these in my H3 to replace some coaxial Boston Acoustics. The Bostons were clean sounding, but I needed some tweets cause i blew the stock. These components were easy to install. I have them set up with a Pioneer 4200 and a Pioneer GM-D9500F amp. The woofers are punchy and the tweets are very clean. I have the crossover set at 0db. I still have the Bostons in the rear, I feel t hat the sound is a lot richer. I cant wait to hear them after they break in. Pros: Very Powerful and clean Cons: None so far. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Polk Audio DXi6500 Written By Brian, Maryland on Saturday, April 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Overall a pretty good speaker. Leaves you wanting a little more on the low end. The product is good, but the installation guidelines for a Jeep Rubicon Unlimited are worthless. These are component speakers and the guide offers no guidance on the tweeters and crossovers. Pros: Good speaker Cons: Bad installation guide. 3 out of 11 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Enjoy the upgraded sound Written By Ken K, Roseville California on Sunday, April 22, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sound great, especially the highs. The lows have improved also. I used the frames from the original tweeters to make the brackets for the new ones and that worked great!! Pros: Clearly an upgrade in the quality of the music I listen to!! Reasonably easy to install. Cons: None to speak of. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Good Sound Written By Josh H, Lufkin, TX on Friday, March 23, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed these last night in the rear of my 2006 350Z (coupe). Getting into the back of the car was the hard part, but well worth the effort. They sound great. Pros: Good price, great sound. Cons: I broke a drill bit during installation? Nothing to complain about, they sound great. 3 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN and LOUD Written By Chaz, Dallas, TX on Saturday, March 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Kevin (my adviser) steered me to these. I did a factory up grade to my '08 Tundra. New H.U. and Polk DXi's in the doors 6500's front and 5250's rear. As soon as we hooked up the first speaker to check for polarity I knew i was in for a treat. I matched these with a matching RMS/CH amp and I'm running it around 70%. I have so much headroom it's not even funny as they break in I'll up the wattage but as of 2 weeks in I'm in music heaven. Pros: Everything Cons: If I find one I'll come back and note it. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Clear and Loud !! Written By Tom, indiana on Thursday, January 19, 2012 Amazing! I have them amped with a kenwood head unit and all I can say is WOW! They play as loud and clear as I can stand it without distortion. Great highs and decent bass, I luv em'. Pros: easy install, adjustability Cons: none 6 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent Written By MaxS, Brookfield, CT on Thursday, October 13, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I used these speakers to replace my JBL C608GTi component speaker system that I had in my car when one of the component subs blew, they were rated for 150RMS and even though there really is nothing that I could find to match them, these speakers are rated for 100RMS which have turned out excellent. They hit produce great sound and quality and do not distort, you get what you pay for, and for a little extra cash, they are worth it. Nice and easy setup. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Polk Audio DXi6500 Written By RobG, San Diego, CA on Sunday, October 09, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Fantastic sound coming out of these. Replaced my stock speakers, and I never new what I was missing. 4 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Fantastic Written By Brian, Maine on Sunday, October 02, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers have been in my 2011 Jeep Wrangler for about two months. They have been broken in and now sound amazing. I've got them fed from a 50 rms watt per channel amp with the crossover set to about 100hz, sending everything lower to my sub. Installation was fairly straight forward. As noted, my Jeep's stock tweeter mounts needed to be filed to make the hole bigger, they look like they have always been there and much better than stock. There is no going back to stock which is fine in my situation but something to think about if you are leasing. I installed foam baffles behind the woofers. About the sound. I had originally set the tweeters to +3 (or +6 I forget which) but brought them back down to 0db once I fine tuned the crossover points. At the +db setting they had a bit of a sizzle but sound silky smooth at 0db. The woofer has nice punch and is very accurate listening to everything from talk, classical and mellow rock (Jack Johnson, Mishka), all the way to hard metal (Hatebreed, Machine Head, etc). I am very pleased with this component system and would recommend them to anyone. 13 out of 13 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I had to cut the holes for the tweets in my pillars, and i put a little dynamat around the woofer. amazing sound, great price, sexy look. Deff will be putting an amp on these very soon to bring out the max potential. 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great speakers Written By J.T., Virginia Beach, VA on Sunday, August 07, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have these amplified by an Alpine MRP-F300. The tweeters are excellent, but the 6.5" don't have hold the amplified bass as well. I probably need to install dynamat around the speakers to help them out. Great speakers though! 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Breathtaking mids and highs Written By Carl, Pennsylvania on Friday, August 05, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This component set is breathtaking. The mids and highs are unreal. Sounds like you have a private concert in front of you. I installed this in my 04 Durango with the tweeters in the dash speaker location and the drivers in the front doors. Blows my factory Infinity system out of the water. The bass on these speakers is pretty good as well, but I have a subwoofer dedicated to serve that purpose. Overall I would highly recommend these speakers. The tweeters are not harsh like Infinity references ones. 6 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Excellent speakers Written By Brian, Evansville, IN on Monday, August 01, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is my first set of component speakers I've ever owned, and I have been very impressed. The woofers deliver nice bass without sounding too distorted and the tweeters are very clean sounding. I paried them with a Kenwood 60w amp and the system is very nice. The woofers installed perfectly with the mounting ring included in the box, the crossover fit exactly in in the door panel on the inside. The tweeters "nearly" fit perfectly in the sail trim panels on the upper door. I have been extremely pleased with these speakers. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Fantastic Written By Steve, Baltimore Maryland on Tuesday, July 19, 2011 Okay, so first off, the other reviewer, should have returned the speakers for another set. Crutchfield takes these things very seriously. Anyways, these speakers are fantastic. 50-150 bucks cheaper then JBL P660c's ((depending where you buy)) and yet louder, clearer, and smaller (depth wise). I cannot believe how amazing these speakers are. I have an amp that will run these at 75watts each RMS and about 150watts PEAK. Mixed with the JVC KD-R900, the music is so clear, I just can't believe it. Especially since these sound better then speakers that cost more. I don't use dynamat because its added weight, and yet still sounds fantastic. Sure it COULD probably increase mid bass response, but really, get a sub and stop setting the crossover for that sub at 80, rocket up to 150 or 200 where it belongs. :D Happy Listening. 8 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Impressive sound, not so impressive quality Written By Stlyns, Ohio on Sunday, June 05, 2011 I purchased and installed these in my truck, an '05 Ranger. They replaced a pair of Pioneer 6x8 4-ways, and sound so much better. Installation required making my own adaptors, as the included ones placed the speakers against the door panel. The speaker surrounds were poorly attached to the basket, as they peeled loose with ease, with very light thumb pressure. It appeared as though the adhesive used was improperly applied, and missed the edge of the surround, thus having a narrow adhesive strip at the innermost edge of the basket at the outer edge of the roll, maybe 1/16" wide I was able to reattach them myself with super glue. Not something you should need to do to a pair of two hundred dollar speakers. The tweeter mounting cups don't hold the tweeters well. After shutting the doors, they would fall out. I fixed that with some double sided tape. I doubt I would buy another Polk Audio product. Most of the issues I encountered were solved easily enough, but the speaker surrounds coming off the baskets were just blatant signs of unbelievably poor quality manufacturing. I will most likely replace these, as the Polk name is no longer synonomous with quality. 17 out of 36 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Dynamic Balance Driver Technology: Dynamic Balance is a proprietary Polk Audio technology using laser imaging to determine what combination of speaker materials create the least resonance. Eliminating resonance in speakers results in a wide, smooth response and low distortion. Klippel Optimized Components: For a driver to reproduce complex sounds accurately, the cone must move exactly the same distance and manner in both directions. The Klippel distortion analyzer, a device that uses a laser and sophisticated software to do large-scale analysis of drivers in motion, lets Polk optimize the speaker's motor structure, voice coil alignment, and suspension to yield the best possible performance. Composite Cones: The Polk DXi 6500 system features a Dynamic Balance, polymer/mica composite cone woofers. These composite cones feature tremendous stiffness-to mass ratio. Lower mass means faster transients and finer detail. Rubber Surrounds: For a smoother response and improved durability, the woofers use rubber surrounds. Mounting: Out of the box the DXi 6500 woofers are a direct replacement for many standard 6-3/4" applications. Two mounting brackets are included with holes matching standard 6-1/2" (3-hole), Ford 6-1/2" (asymmetrical 4-hole), and various 6-3/4" applications. Without using the mounting brackets the speaker also fits into many standard 6-1/2" openings, but with a four hole pattern is not a direct replacement (new screw holes would need to be drilled; in this instance mounting depth would be 1.984" and mounting height 0.468"; this application does not sort in the Crutchfield Vehicle Selector because using the mounting bracket requires no modification, and is therefore the preferred 6-1/2" mounting method). Tweeters Silk Dome Tweeters: The 1" liquid-cooled, silk/polymer composite dome tweeters provide clear, detailed highs. Neodymium Magnets: Each tweeter employs a light-weight neodymium magnet for better efficiency. Mounting: The supplied mounting cups allow you to surface or flush mount the tweeters. The tweeters swivel in the flush-mount housings, allowing you to adjust them for optimum imaging. Tweeter Mounting Dimensions: Surface Mount Flush Mount Mounting Height 1.036" 0.404" Depth 0.817" (screw depth) 0.951" Frame Diameter 1.997" 2.291" Cutout Diameter N/A 1.943" Crossovers Design: The outboard Butterworth crossovers are 2-way with a 4 kHz crossover point; both the high-pass and low-pass output slopes are 12 dB/octave. Tweeter Level Switch: You can adjust the output of the tweeter to match a level appropriate to your vehicle or your system. On the end of crossover (opposite the terminals) the switch can be set to -3 dB, 0 dB, or +3 dB. Protection Circuit: Each crossover has a built-in electronic circuit that protects the tweeter from accidental overdriving. Crossover Connections: The crossover inputs and outputs are screw terminals. The terminals will accommodate the included wire or spade connectors up to 0.35" wide. Mounting: There are two mounting holes in the base of each crossover; the cover must be removed to install the mounting screws.

SUSTAIN: 7 Exciting Green Designs from the Royal College of Art at the London Design Festival
Working for Inhabitat doesn't feel like work when we get to check out the best talent coming out of 100% Design, or when we get to hang around a functioning greenhouse made entirely out of thousands of LEGO bricks. Not only that, but we are downright inspired by today's intimate look at some of the most amazing solutions emerging from RCA students. Continuing the theme of saving our oceans, and following up on our previous coverage of The Sea Chair Project by Studio Swine, we are thrilled to see the Nurdler. The Nurdler harvests pernicious plastic waste from the ocean, which will eventually become a line of upcycled chairs!
It's one thing to write about Erik de Laurens collecting fish scales from the local fishmonger and converting them into goggles and drinking glasses, but something entirely different to see these products up close and personal. They were amazingly sturdy and colorful, and presented no olfactory assault whatsoever.
Freshplus by Oliver Poyntz is definitely a cool, new product to watch out for. By including microorganisms that are already present in food in packaging, Oliver and his team are able to extend the life of food by at least two days. This range of green products could considerably cut down on the amount of fruits, vegetables, and other food that is wasted each year.
Stephoe by Mohamed Daud is a fresh new design geared towards developing countries that are still using back-breaking and antiquated farming tools. Although in the early stages of development, and in need of support, this modern twist on an old hoe features a nifty footstep that makes it much easier to leverage into the ground.

DES MOINES – Where you are usually depends on where you start.
The premise would explain the different views of the national finishes of the state's NCAA Division I wrestling programs.
Disappointment surrounds the University of Iowa's fourth-place finish, while optimism is more prevalent around Iowa State's improvement to place 11th and University of Northern Iowa's return to being a top-15 team at the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships on Saturday at Wells Fargo Arena.
The Hawkeyes entered the tournament with title aspirations, which is an annual goal for one of college wrestling's most storied programs with 23 NCAA team titles. They finished a whopping 30 points out of third behind Minnesota, runner-up Oklahoma State and Penn State, which won its third straight championship.
On the bright side, Iowa crowned its 79th NCAA champion in 157-pounder Derek St. John, who made his second straight finals appearance. Tony Ramos improved last year's third-place finish with runner-up honors at 133. Ethen Lofthouse was fifth at 184 and 174-pounder Mike Evans placed sixth. All return for next year.
Heavyweight Bobby Telford, an NCAA qualifier who was a 2012 All-American, gives Iowa five returning All-Americans and national qualifiers in sophomore Nick Moore at 165 and 197-pound freshman Nathan Burak, who reached the round of 12.
Throw in a highly-touted freshman class, including lightweights Cory Clark, who beat Illinois NCAA and Big Ten champion Jesse Delgado, Thomas Gilman and 184-pounder Sammy Brooks. The Hawkeyes, whose Coach Tom Brands declined media interviews Saturday night, certainly will be a formidable foe that can contend to repeat as Big Ten dual champions, but it will be tough to overcome Penn State, which returns NCAA champions Ed Ruth and David Taylor, who won in 2012, and two-time national runner-up Nico Megaludis.
"We have a great freshman class and we're getting rid of a great senior class," Lofthouse said. "We'll just have to see what happens, I guess."
The team finish was limited due to injury. Telford, seeded sixth at heavyweight, easily advanced to the quarterfinals – one win away from placing – and favored to reach the semifinals, but suffered a knee injury during his second-round win and was forced to default from the tournament. Senior Mark Ballweg entered the tournament with a knee injury suffered at the Big Ten Championships, falling a win short from being an All-American.
Evans cruised to a win over Missouri's Todd Porter to reach the top-eight, but returned with his left leg taped and went 1-2 afterward.
Iowa hasn't won a Big Ten or national title since 2010. Most programs would still consider that a crowning achievement, but seems like a long time with one for the high standards of the Hawkeyes.
"There's always pressure to get that team national championship and individual national championship," Lofthouse said. "That comes with being a Hawkeye and wrestling at the D-I level."
Iowa State experienced a positive finish compared to a year ago. The Cyclones flirted with the top-10, climbing as high as an eighth Saturday. The Cyclones had three All-Americans of their seven qualifiers. Michael Moreno (165) and 197-pounder Kyven Gadson both placed sixth. Heavyweight Matt Gibson was eighth. Tanner Weatherman reached the 174 quarterfinals and was a win away from the podium. Iowa State national qualifiers Luke Goettl (141) and 184-pounder Boaz Beard returns, as does former four-time Iowa prep champion John Meeks (133).
Last year, the Cyclones failed to have an All-American for the first time in 50 years. After the 2012 NCAA tournament, Iowa State Coach Kevin Jackson said this season would be more indicative of the program's direction. He confirmed that Saturday.
"I would say so," Jackson said. "I think we left two All-Americans on the mat out there.
"I would say we're starting to see where we're heading. We have to go out and stay healthy and compete at the same level next year. I think our performance will speak for itself."
Gibson and 149-pounder Max Mayfield were upper classmen in a young lineup. They will need to be replaced, but Jackson said the Cyclones have been trying to build depth and freshman Gabe Moreno, Michael's younger brother, could step in at 149. Quean Smith and Tyler Swope are possible replacements for Gibson.
"We've shown we do have an environment where you can get to the NCAA tournament and you can perform," Jackson said. "Now, it's on them to do it."
They will benefit from have credible leaders. Jackson said Gadson's injury last year hurt the team, because he is a natural leader, who made helped spur fun and success. His influence was key this season and now Gadson, Moreno and even Weatherman will have a stronger impact to a team, looking to return to contender status.
"We have guys in the room that can speak from experience and not just speak because they're down to lead the team," Jackson said. "They're speaking because they know what it takes to get on the podium here."
UNI had their first All-American since 2010 and two All-Americans for the first time since 2005. The Panthers should be pleased. They jumped nearly 20 spots in the team standings, tying Pittsburgh for 15th with 34 points. David Bonin placed fourth at 157 and Ryan Loder placed seventh at 184. Two-time NCAA qualifier Levi Wolfensperger (133) and 141-pounder Joey Lazor made the round of 12.
This could be the cornerstone for the programs resurgence.
"As a staff, we said once we get guys on the stand it's going to take off," Schwab said. "Our young guys need to see that. We have two guys who got a taste you want more."
The Panthers should expect more with the accomplishments and potential on the horizon. Loder, Wolfensperger and Lazor all return. Freshmen Dylan Peters (125) and Zach Witte (149) could make an impact for a lineup that returns most of its starters. Their work in the offseason will determine if they can continue the climb.
"This spring, summer and fall is critical that we continue to develop guys, and build on this," Schwab said. "We have something we can point to now."
Bonin is a senior and is a perfect example of reaping the rewards of hard work under Schwab and his staff. He recognizes something is special coming after he leaves.
"It's coming," Bonin said of the team's future. "Things are meshing, and we are getting stronger and stronger."
Schwab has been a part of national championship programs and prepares his current wrestlers in the same manner. He didn't take the UNI post to be 15th in the country. Schwab wants to build UNI into a championship a program again.
"If we continue to multiply our point totals, we're going to start being in the hunt," Schwab said. "It's good steady progress, but we're always looking for a little bit more."
National championship match results and regional place-winners are listed below.
125 — Final: Jesse Delgado, Illinois def. Nicholas Megaludis, Penn State 7-4. 4th place - Alan Waters, Missouri
133 — Final: Logan Stieber, Ohio State def. Tony Ramos, Iowa 7-4. 8th place - Nathan McCormick, Missouri.

Monday, May 12, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (May 12, 2003) - East Tennessee State scored 11 runs in the first two innings then withheld a late Tennessee Tech rally to defeat the Golden Eagles, 11-9, Monday night from Cardinal Park in Johnson City, Tenn. Tennessee Tech (25-21) started strong, scoring two runs in the top of the first inning. Center fielder Ben Shannon led off the game with a double to left center. After a walk to left fielder Cole Helms, both runners advanced on a ground out. Both Shannon and Helms would cross the plate on a double by the next batter, first baseman Ryan Hay. The Buccaneers (15-33) came right back in the bottom of the first, scoring two runs to tie the game. Junior shortstop Andy Howdeshell (Maryville, Tenn.) took Tennessee Tech starter Collins Hughes' first pitch of the frame deep over the right field wall for his team-leading 10th home run of the season. With one out in the inning, freshman right fielder Jordan Abromovitz (South Park, Pa.) walked then stole second base. He came home on a double to deep center field by senior first baseman Chad Boruff (Knoxville, Tenn.). TTU wasted no time regaining the lead, scoring another run in the top of the second. Second baseman Chris McLain singled with one out then moved to second on a single by third baseman Phillip Hatch. Shannon then hit the third-consecutive single of the inning, scoring McLain from second. East Tennessee State blew the game open in the bottom of the second, sending 13 batters to the plate and scoring nine runs. With one out in the inning, sophomore second baseman Justin Clear (LaFollette, Tenn.) walked then stole second. Howdeshell then came to the plate and hit a double to right field, scoring Clear. Next, sophomore third baseman Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.) singled to left field and Abromovitz walked to load the bases. Boruff then came through for the second time in the game, hitting a single through the left side, scoring Howdeshell and Moore. After a pitching change, the Bucs did not let up, scoring six more runs in the inning. Freshman designated hitter Blake Church (Roswell, Ga.) laced a single to left, bringing home Abromovitz. After junior left fielder Bo Calloway (Knoxville, Tenn.) reached on a fielder's choice, junior center fielder Tim Turner (Marietta, Ga.) blasted his second three-run homer in as many games over the left field wall. Then, after a walk to freshman catcher Justin Benard (Erwin, Tenn.), Clear capped the ETSU rally with his first home run of the season over the right field fence. ETSU freshman starter Steven Calicutt (Spartanburg, S.C.) settled in nicely following the second inning, allowing only four more hits until he left the game prior to the seventh. In the seventh however, Tennessee Tech began to cut into ETSU's lead. Two errors and a walk loaded the bases for the Golden Eagles to begin the inning. Hay hit a sacrifice fly to center field, scoring Shannon to cut the Buccaneer lead to 11-4. Another run would cross the plate as left fielder Carlos Martin singled to bring Helms home. Later in the inning, Tennessee Tech scored two more runs when designated hitter Scott Terry hit a double to center field to score Martin and shortstop Casey Benjamin, making the score 11-7 in favor of ETSU. The game got tighter in the eighth, as Tennessee Tech put two more runs on the board. Hatch led off the inning with a single to left field and moved to third on a double by Benjamin with two outs. The subsequent batter, Hay, reached on an error would score both baserunners. With Tennessee Tech gaining momentum late and trailing 11-9 to begin the top of the ninth, ETSU head coach Tony Skole brought Moore in to pitch from third. Moore did not disappoint, retiring the side in order, including the first two batters on strikeouts to earn his first collegiate save. Calicutt (3-6) earned the win, allowing three runs on nine hits in six innings. He also walked two batters and struck out five. Hughes (2-5) was charged with the loss for the Golden Eagles, allowing seven runs on six hits in 1.1 innings. Howdeshell led the charge for the Bucs this evening, going 4-for-5 with two runs scored and two RBI. Boruff had two hits and three RBI while Clear had two hits, two RBI and scored two runs. Tennessee Tech was led by Hatch, who had three hits, and Shannon, Benjamin and McLain, who each had two. Shannon, Helms and Benjamin scored two runs each while Hay drove in three. East Tennessee State returns to the diamond on Thursday night at 7 p.m. against Georgia Southern in game one of their final series of the season.

Interpretive Handbook
60275 :
Homovanillic Acid (HVA), Random, Urine
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Homovanillic acid (HVA) and other catecholamine metabolites (vanillylmandelic acid [VMA] and dopamine) are typically elevated in patients with catecholamine-secreting tumors (eg, neuroblastoma, pheochromocytoma, and other neural crest tumors). HVA and VMA levels may also be useful in monitoring patients who have been treated as a result of the above-mentioned tumors. HVA levels may also be altered in disorders of catecholamine metabolism; monamine oxidase-A deficiency can cause decreased urinary HVA values, while a deficiency of dopamine beta-hydrolase (the enzyme that converts dopamine to norepinephrine) can cause elevated urinary HVA values.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Screening children for catecholamine-secreting tumors with a random urine collection when requesting homovanillic acid only
Monitoring neuroblastoma treatment
Screening patients with possible inborn errors of catecholamine metabolism
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Vanillylmandelic acid and/or homovanillic acid (HVA) concentrations are elevated in over 90% of patients with neuroblastoma; both tests should be performed. A positive test could be due to a genetic or nongenetic condition. Additional confirmatory testing is required.
A normal result does not exclude the presence of a catecholamine-secreting tumor.
Elevated HVA values are suggestive of a deficiency of dopamine beta-hydrolase, a neuroblastoma, a pheochromocytoma, or may reflect administration of L-dopa.
Decreased urinary HVA values may suggest monamine oxidase-A deficiency.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Administration of L-dopa may falsely increase homovanillic acid (HVA) results. Patients receiving L-dopa should stop taking it for 24 hours before and during the collection.
All patients receiving L-dopa should be identified to the laboratory when vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) and HVA tests are ordered.
Bactrim may interfere with detection of the analyte. All patients taking Bactrim should be identified to the laboratory when VMA and HVA tests are ordered.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
<1 year: <35.0 mg/g creatinine
1 year: <30.0 mg/g creatinine
2-4 years: <25.0 mg/g creatinine
5-9 years: <15.0 mg/g creatinine
10-14 years: <9.0 mg/g creatinine

An Orangutan Experience in Tanjung Putting, Indonesia
11 December 2012
Categories : Hiking, Trekking, and Eco - Adventure
When I received the schedule for my trip to Indonesia one of the first places it said we would visit was Tanjung Putting, which was on the island of Kalimantan. I had never heard of these places before but knew we were going to see wild Orangutans and was excited to visit. Once in Indonesia I heard a couple people say "Borneo". Previous to this I wasn't sure where I thought Borneo was and I kind of thought it was its own country and then I found...
Lesson Learned from the Klotok - Travel Makes Us Humble
11 December 2012
Categories : Hiking, Trekking, and Eco - Adventure
Have you ever felt that travel makes you humble? As a part of #Travel2Indonesia trip, I spent the first two days in Borneo jungle (Kalimantan). We slept, ate, worked on the klotok – wooden boat, and the weather was scorching hot and humid. You can imagine how dirty and sweaty we all were.Because the orangutan camp can be visited only by a river-boat, we had to maintain our lives on the boat. I loved the experience. The simple life - it's not easy to get...

For the first seven or eight years of his life, Fred Galdikas had a best friend called Apollo Bob. Like most friends at that age, they would play together outside. And like most children at that age, their differences seemed immaterial. Kids have an ability to look beyond race, religion, or language and just see a friend for who they are. That was probably lucky for Fred. You see, Apollo Bob was an orangutan. Thirty years ago, when Fred was born, his mother was...

The final hike to the summit was desperately hard. The trail became loose gravel, rising at a steep angle, and the effects of the high altitude soon became apparent as I gasped for breath. Dawn was already starting to touch the sand and rocks while i was struggling climbing the almost vertical sand hill. With giving all my strength, i finally manage to stand on top of the ground of Anjani goddess. It has the most beautiful views of Rinjani. On the west side, you...

Reducing property taxes and upgrading street conditions are the primary focuses of Gary Lybarger — running for at-large councilperson on Creston City Council during this year's general election slated Nov. 5.
"We must get our property taxes under control," Lybarger said. "We aren't No. 1 in the state, but we are right up there. If I'm elected, I'd like to do some investigating into city finances and see where we can make some changes. Do we have unnecessary spending? I'd like to find out."
The 67-year-old Lybarger said his second priority, if elected, would be finding long-term solutions to city street repairs "so they won't need fixed every six months."
"The streets are in disrepair," Lybarger said. "They have cracks, bumps and potholes. We need to make a plan on how to fix these streets so we aren't doing them all year long."
Lybarger is no stranger to city business.
He was building inspector for the city of Creston for 12 years, retiring December 2012. As inspector, Lybarger examined electrical, plumbing and mechanical issues in commercial and residential buildings.
Two years ago, Lybarger ran for mayor of Creston. He was defeated in that election by current mayor Warren Woods by 34 votes. Lybarger — a Vietnam veteran — said if elected he will always listen to the public's concerns.
"We must listen to the people," Lybarger said. "It's like (the current council) doesn't have time to listen to the people who elected them. I will listen to the public. I'd like to see the council work together with the public in making decisions."
Lybarger is running against Courtney Wilson, Kevin Downey and incumbent Paul Vandevender for the at-large city councilperson seat.
"I don't have a problem with any of the others running," Lybarger said. "I just feel I'm better qualified. I know what's going on with the city because I had 12 years experience as inspector and know what could, should and needs to be done."
Lybarger resides in Creston with his wife Shirley.
Kevin Downey — in a four-way race for at-large city councilperson — said he wants to be the "big voice" that motivates people to have pride in the Creston community.
"The town looks pretty bad," Downey said. "We have a lot of nuisance properties in Creston and my major thing, if elected, is working with those people to clean up their properties. We need to get that pride back."
Downey, 55, also mentioned his concern for the amount of money the city alots for their employees' health insurance. The city currently budgets about $19,000 per year for employee health insurance.
Meanwhile, the county — which switched to Bernie Lowe and Associates about two years ago — is only budgeting about $15,800 per employee.
"We should at least let Bernie Lowe and Associates come make a presentation," Downey said. "And, not just them. We need to be shopping for the best rates. Why not save our taxpayers a little money?"
Other priorities for Downey include attracting new business, taking care of infrastructure and providing better venues for Creston youths.
Downey ran two years ago for at-large councilperson, but was defeated by Nancy Loudon.
Downey — honorably discharged from the U.S. Army — has lived in Creston for 48 years. He owned his own business, KD Maintenance, serving Creston's plumbing and electrical needs for more than 20 years. Downey retired in 2004.
Downey is running against Courtney Wilson, Gary Lybarger and incumbent Paul Vandevender for the at-large city council seat.
"I've been to almost every city council meeting for the past three years," Downey said. "The people just have to give me a chance. Voters should vote for me because I'm persistent and have love and compassion for this community."
Downey resides in Creston. He has three adult children including Spencer, Tyler and Delanie.
In April, the city council appointed the Rev. Paul Vandevender to fill the at-large city councilperson seat vacated by Terri Koets. Vandevender is now seeking election for his at-large seat in this general election against challengers Kevin Downey, Gary Lybarger and Courtney Wilson.
Vandevender — pastor at Creston's Apostolic Lighthouse Church in Creston and maintenance supervisor for Super 8 and Supertel Inn and Suites —said sitting on the council over the past six months has been a learning process.
"I'm running in this election for the betterment of the community," Vandevender said. "I'm thankful for what Creston has given me for 25 years and I want to give back."
Vandevender, 59, said his top priority is reaching out to citizens and getting them "to come to city council meetings and voicing their opinions."
Vandevender admits he's still trying to find his niche in the wide world of city business.
"I've been learning and absorbing information since being appointed," Vandevender said. "I'm trying to find where I best fit into the city business and where I can most benefit Creston. Like I said, I want to give back."
Vandevender said he feels he's the best candidate because he's "worked with people and problems over the years and been able to be fair and find equitable solutions for all sides."
Vandevender and his wife Debi reside in Creston. They have two adult sons — Ronn and Tim.
Courtney Wilson — granddaughter of current Creston city councilperson Marsha Wilson — is by far the youngest candidate running for the at-large city councilperson seat in this year's general election slated Nov. 5.
But, don't write her off because of her age — she said — and don't assume she will be pursuaded by her grandmother when it comes time to vote on city business.
"Don't let my age fool you," Wilson said. "I'm my own person. I speak my own mind and my grandmother's opinions will not sway me one way or the other."
The 20-year-old Wilson — who graduated from Southwestern Community College in May — said she's running for the next generation. Wilson is currently attending Buena Vista University with aspirations of graduating with degrees in criminal justice and human services.
Wilson's top priority is "the next generation" and pursuing opportunities through city council to provide a safe venue for students and young adults to hang out.
"There is nothing for kids to do in Creston," Wilson said, "especially on the weekends. So, they come up town and create problems for everyone. When I was younger, there was a skating rink. We need something like that where kids can go and stay out of trouble."
Wilson is also concerned with the number of nuisance properties in Creston.
"Paul (Ver Meer) and the (Creston) firefighters are working to take care of the nuisance properties, but they have many other responsibilities," Wilson said. "The city council is harping on these people. We just have to keep cleaning up one property at a time."

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 11, 2011) - For the third consecutive match the No. 75 ETSU men's tennis team shutout an opponent as the Bucs swept past Belmont 7-0 Friday afternoon in Atlantic Sun Conference action.
With the win ETSU improves to 7-5 overall and 3-1 in A-Sun play, while the Bruins fall to 0-6 overall and 0-3 in league play.
"We played a solid match today and we are looking forward to tomorrow's match against Lipscomb," said ETSU Assistant Coach Ricky Rojas.
After ETSU took the early point by winning all three doubles matches, the Bucs quickly stole all the momentum after getting a couple of quick victories. Only one singles match went to three sets.
With the 1-0 advantage in hand junior Jeremy Bonnevalle (Keerbergen, Belgium) and freshman Roger Ordeig (Gurb, Spain) picked up to quick victories. Bonnevalle defeated Jonathan Murrell, 6-1, 6-1, while Ordeig rolled past Christopher Bates, 6-0, 6-0. Bonnevalle and Ordeig remain perfect in dual singles play as Bonnevalle is now 5-0, while Ordeig is 4-0.
Robin Akser (Ornskoldsvik, Sweden) and Charles Bottoni (Bois Guillaume, France) kept the ETSU wins coming as each earned straight set victories. Jesus Bandres (Caracas, Venezuela) also earned a straight set victory as he knocked off Rafael Matos, 6-3, 6-3.
The closest match of the day came at the No. 1 position as ETSU's Grega Teraz (Mojstrana, Slovenia) had a tough battle with Rodrigo Amaral. Each player split the first two sets to force a super tiebreaker. Teraz came out strong in the tiebreaker and closed out the match with a 6-7, 7-6, 10-2 win.
The Bucs will look for a weekend sweep as they host Lipscomb tomorrow morning at 10:30 a.m. The match will be played on campus at the Buddy Hartsell Tennis Center.

Launching in June 2003, Mars Express has been orbiting the Red Planet since December 2003. Mars Express is Europe's first mission to Mars, and was completed in less time than any other comparable planetary mission by the European Space Agency (ESA), hence its name: Mars Express.
The mission consisted of an orbiter and lander. Unfortunately, Mars Express lost contact with the lander before it reached the surface in December of 2003. (The lander was named for the ship HMS Beagle on which Charles Darwin was a passenger.) Beagle 2 was designed to study Martian weather and climate, the geology and the mineral and chemical composition of the landing site, as well as search for past life on Mars.
Mars Express continues to take breathtaking, high-resolution images of the surface in 3D and in color. The spacecraft carries the first radar instrument ever flown to Mars, which has returned pioneering sub-surface sounding measurements that show underground water-ice deposits.
Mars Express has also beamed back mineralogical evidence for the presence of liquid water throughout Martian history and has studied the density of the Martian crust in detail. It was also the first spacecraft to detect methane in the planet's atmosphere from orbit.
In addition to the above, the spacecraft pioneered the detection of aurorae at mid latitudes, provided estimates on the rate at which Mars' atmosphere escapes into space and studied Mars' two moons Phobos and Deimos; taking a close look at Phobos, in particular.
This mission has been extended until December 2016, with confirmation of that extension in mid-2014. This extension allows for more data and image collection by the spacecraft. Data from Mars Express will also help inform the selection of the landing site for the InSight mission to Mars, which is slated to launch in 2016.
