I don't know if their quality has gotten any better but I swore that I would never buy Polk again after my experience with them 3 years ago. I had their DB 6.5 components 6X9's and 4 DB 12s. I don't know if I just got a bad batch or what but after a couple of months with the rubber surround on all the speakers had become very weak and the subs would clip when they were at a volume that had no trouble the month before.
