    Polk vs Kicker 3&1/2 Bose replacement What I've learned

    The Polks are deinitely more efficient speakers, Kicker has always been best used in a high power situation, Polks with moderate power because they are so much more efficient. Polks imo are a much more musical speaker as well. I use kickers in my son's car as I know they can handle more abuse :)
