by Leigh Schoettinger Polk precision Good music becomes great when you hear it through Polk's db Series car speakers. Polk engineers use laser imaging to determine the ideal combination of speaker materials and design to eliminate distortion. The resulting technology produces speakers with smooth frequency response, sharp detail, and the ability to play music at high volumes without strain. Polk's db691 speakers feature 6"x9" woofers made from a polymer/mica composite and durable rubber surrounds that won't fall apart under stress from heat, moisture, or time. Liquid-cooled 1" silk/polymer dome tweeters use powerful Neodymium magnets to deliver precise high-frequency reproduction, enveloping you in bright musical detail. The 3/4" dome supertweeters add even more sparkle to reproduce your music's natural intricacies. The built-in two-way crossovers keep the high and low frequencies flowing to the proper drivers for seamless, efficient audio. These db Series speakers feature stainless steel mounting hardware and muscular ABS grilles that will add a stylish touch to your car's interior. And Polk certifies these speakers for marine applications, so they're a great choice for your boat, motorcycle, or ATV.

The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience.
Sound worse than the speaker I replaced Written By Robert, JBLM WA on Wednesday, April 08, 2015 Installed Pioneer MRP-300 amp and Polk 6x9 's and they sound worst than the Pioneer component speaker with the alpine in dash deck powering them . Total disappointment ! Door were sealed tight as a drum , hooked the amp up to the pre-amp outputs , used the amp power supply that was recommended by Crutchfield . And It sound awful . I don't know if its the amp or the speaker but what a waste of time and money Pros: none Cons: Stuck with a well below average system that I paid for with hard earned money
Not worth the money even on sale Written By TimD, Sacramento, ca on Thursday, September 25, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These were a disappointment. I bought them on sale to replace some super cheap kicker 6x9's. I'll be putting the Kickers back in. Save yourself the money and buy the cheapest kicker 6x9s if you want this level of quality. Pros: They look pretty Cons: Polk audio has join the rest of American producers in degraded quality posing as expensive equipment. You got me again!
Great sound Written By Anonymous, Lodi ca on Friday, August 29, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this Polk 6x9 and install them in a box and put them in the back of my truck and hooked them up to a amp very happy with the sound Pros: Great price
Polk Audio DB691 Written By Scott, Spanaway,wa on Tuesday, August 19, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Used these in the rear deck! Love the crisp clean sound. Polk Audio has been around a long time and has always been towards the top as far as quality. My Home Theater is all Polk Audio. This and the reviews are why I chose these. I have a Pioneer HU with built in power and haven't even hooked my amp up yet and these sound amazing! I would highly recommend these you won't regret it! Pros: Clear crisp sound with just enough low end to not sound boomy. These replaced my speakers in my 2007 Saturn Aura and have made a huge difference. Easy to install. Cons: N/A
Incredible sound Written By LeslieH, Chapin, SC on Wednesday, August 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is our second set of these speakers. We put these in our new pontoon boat (the old set was in our old pontoon). Great sounds quality! Pros: Great sound quality
PolkDB 6x9 speakers Written By Glenn, San Diego, CA on Sunday, August 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good well built speakers really bring the music to life. Great sturdy construction should provide years of listening enjoyment, even with my fits of metal core and screamo. These speakers make country music sound live. Pros: Great sound, well built, multi attachment bracket included is a plus Cons: None as of yet
Perfect for Dodge Stealth Written By John M., Waterford NY on Saturday, August 02, 2014 Great sounding speaker, high quality construction. And the fit guide says they won't fit They do with a very minor modification made with a utility knife to the plastic port tube behind the oem speaker. Have to thank Dallas for pointing me to these and looking up the specs on my car and letting me know what to do to make them fit. REAL customer service!! Always shop here for car audio! These people go above and beyond!! Pros: POLK name! Build quality! Unbelievable sound at this price! Great value with Polk Audio! Cons: Grilles are a little too obtrusive for me but could not use anyway. Better grille options would be nice!
Great stock replacement Written By RAM, New Rochelle, NY on Wednesday, June 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I put the Polk DB691 in the back of my 07 Honda accord ( Crutchfield says they don't fit but they do) and Polk DB 651 in the front. I only replaced the speakers and no other equipment. These seem to be working really well with my system (180w) due to the high sensitivity rating. I know that the would work even better with a head unit / amp. Overall, I think these speakers are an excellent replacement for an otherwise stock system. Pros: Works excellently with a stock set up. Great improvement on overall sound with little investment. Great highs and mids. Cons: Bass is fine for now but will give up if i try to crank it higher. I imagine this problem would be fixed with an amp.
POLK DB 6x9 Written By Dennis, Andover, MA on Tuesday, June 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great speakers! Installed on a custom built Bagger motorcycle and you can hear them CRYSTAL CLEAR on the highway over the loud exhaust with just a JVC head unit! Pros: Awesome sound, good looking griles, allows for expanding system! Cons: No real cons, except since they can handle so much power they beg for you to expand you stereo!
not so good Written By fred, woodland ca on Tuesday, April 29, 2014 I put these speakers in boxes and hooked them up to an alpine deck with no amp, all they did was screech. So I put them in a jeep with an amp pushing them, absolutely no better/ worse. No bass, can't hear much of the guitar or midrange just horrible. The old Kickers 6x9 and some old Fosgate R series 6x9's were better. Pros: none Cons: about $100 overpriced
Not impressed Written By Kelly, sacramento ca on Monday, April 28, 2014 I bought these for a project car and did tons of research, I wanted a good sounding 6x9 in the $75 to $150 range. I really wanted a good speaker that would rock out and most reviews were good and no shortage of reviews on this speaker. Wow, I returned them as fast as I could, they were horrible, a tweeter is what they are, you can't here the bass the band (you know the music) nothing sounded good. So I paid extra and got the JL c2 6x9, man they are 100 times better. Pros: None Cons: screechy with no bass once so ever.
Best 6x9's for the money! Written By Anonymous, Ma on Wednesday, April 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent addition to my 2011 Tundra DC! Needed to make some adjustments to the front doors (cutting existing speaker grills, and used adjusted existing speakers) and now fit nicely. I have them hooked up to an amp and these get loud! They complement the other 3.5 DB's I have in the dash as well as the 6.5 DB's in the rear doors. I started with these un-amplified, but they SHOULD be amplified! Great and Crutchfield supplies exactly what you need to make it an easy install! Pros: Looks, functionality, sound and BASS!! Cons: None except I had to make adjustments to my Tundras doors to fit them.
Polk Audio db691 Written By E D V, CA. on Saturday, February 08, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very Good
Excellent Written By PirateRiderBen, Greenville NC on Tuesday, February 04, 2014 I fit these in my 2004 Dodge Ram. Yes, they do fit fine with just the included spacer. They have clean and crisp highs, mids, and surprisingly good lows. They rattle my rear view mirror at only 35 volume level, and I am only powering them with a basic Pioneer single din head unit that is 14 watts RMS x4. So I am not even pushing them anywhere near their 125watt RMS rating. I cannot attest to durability as I have only had them a few days, however past experiences with Polk products encourages me to think these will hold up for a long time. I paired them with Polk db651s 6.5" speakers in the rear doors. Eventually I will be putting an Alpine Type R 12" under the back seat to compete the sound system. Can't go wrong with Polk speakers!
Amazing product Written By Anonymous, Madison, Wisconsin on Monday, January 27, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Got these on sale and it was honestly some of the best money I've ever spent. They are amazing speakers. The sound is great. Fantastic highs and midrange and good bass especially from 6x9s. I've had them for about a month now and so far I have no complaints at all. Easy to install with the harnesses they supply you with
Another great Polk product Written By CalN, Bloomington, MN on Sunday, October 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed these in the rear deck of my 2011 Ford Fusion which was a stretch because it didn't come with factory 6X9's there so had to do some cutting etc. but it was so worth it! These speakers handle the full spectrum of sound with such incredible clarity and ease and sound really great matched with my Pioneer deck and Alpine power pack amp. I've had several Polk speakers over the years and have always been impressed with their smooth sound and excellent build quality. Pros: Smooth sound, very detailed, excellent quality Cons: none
Great Sound Written By AaronS, Las Vegas, NV on Saturday, October 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers sound great off my Kenwood head unit. The lows sound decent, but the mids and highs have really improved dramatically over the stock Toyota speakers. Pros: Great mids and highs. Cons: Although there is a high sensitivity rating and low frequency response, the bass is not all that loud. I can imagine that if there was an amp hooked up to them, the low end would sound great also.
Polk Audio for '08 Dodge 1500 Quad cab Written By this guy, Charleston, SC on Sunday, September 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased these speakers about a month ago, and there nice, the sound is a little less loud but the amount of clarity makes up for it, i'm running it off my stock HU, so they can and will get louder when ever I want to invest farther into my radio, but crystal clear, not bad price, easy install. compared to my speakers in the the truck (stock) when i put them out... really didn't think they would fit. bass kind of picks up too. Pros: clear, Cons: loss of loudness
Polk audio db691 Written By Renfro, San Pablo, CA on Friday, July 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great mids and highs. I'm hoping that hooking up an amp will help the bass. Pros: Great crisp sound Cons: Bass is a little lacking
Very nice speakers Written By 08DodgeRam, Charlotte, NC on Thursday, May 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased these 6x9 Polks to replace factory speakers in my 08 Dodge Ram. The fit was perfect and went very smooth. The overall sound quality is great with my Kenwood HU. The bass is respectable, but I added a powered sub to this install anyway. Pros: Sound quality, fit, price
Sound Great Written By AdamB, Cornelius, NC on Saturday, April 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Have great range from tweeter to mid-range. Obviously need a sub to complete the full spectrum. Being pushed by 4 channel amp and handles the power well.
Polk Audio db691 Written By Anonymous, Graniteville, SC on Friday, April 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great value and crisp mids and highs Pros: Price & sound quality Cons: Not much bass
polk audio db691 Written By mike u, buffalo n.y. on Thursday, March 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) nice speakers fast shipping , easy install , sound great. Pros: the wire harness made install easy ,and the difference in sound compared to stock speakers is night and day. thanks Cons: the directions that i received to remove the door panel were wrong , you lift the door panel up to remove, you do not pull it out or you will break the the panel itself.
Smooth sound! Written By The GOAT, Port Arthur, TX on Monday, March 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm a polk fan for life. These speakers make a world of difference. Pros: They fit perfectly. Cons: None
Polk Audio db691 Written By jeff, fl on Wednesday, February 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) sound great with a small amp
Very clear sound Written By Anonymous, El Dorado Hills, CA on Friday, October 12, 2012 Installed these in my 05 Dodge Ram's front doors today, connected to an Alpine CDE-HD138BT. They have a very, very clear and clean sound. They get very loud even running on just my HU's power. I'm not getting a ton of bass, but they're brand new and aren't being given a ton of power, so that could be part of the issue. I imagine more wattage would help, but honestly i can't imagine how loud the rest of the audio spectrum would be with 100 watts being sent to them. It would be seriously deafening! In any case, these combined with DB351's in the dash make for sound that is tremendously cleaner and clearer than my stock "Infinity" system. As an aside, Crutchfield says these don't fit in an 05 Dodge Ram and I have no idea why. They fit easily and with room to spare, both in front of and behind the speaker. You just have to reuse the stock speakers' mounting spacers. Crutchfield really should add these to the speakers that show up for an 05 Dodge Ram under "outfit my car". Pros: Very sensitive. Clear and accurate sound. Fit well in an 05 Dodge Ram front doors. Cons: Not a lot of bass in my application, but that could be due to them not being broken in and not receiving a lot of power from my HU (18 watts per channel RMS).
It was a great difference. Written By Nico k., Miramar, FL on Saturday, September 15, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was in the market for speakers to replace my factory wackness, and I was chating to one of the company rep's on line. they recommended the Polk db series. what a difference. finally great speakers. it was a great move.
very nice 6x9s !! Written By Kjsmooth2003, Las Vegas, NV on Friday, April 20, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) love the way they fit in the rear deck of my my 2012 altima sr sedan Pros: taking the car apart was harder than putting the speakers in !!! Cons: no wire clips for wire connections
Great Sound Written By T.C, NY on Monday, April 16, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) nothing but "POLK" quality
beautiful little speakers Written By Duncan, Toronto, ON on Tuesday, April 03, 2012 I actually had to wait for a few months to buy these because Crutchfield was out of stock. Totally worth the wait. They sound pretty close to perfect. I listen to all types of music, from hiphop and electronic stuff to folk and rock. Clear mids and highs and a nice little oomph of bass. Installed them in like 25 minutes into my honda civic hatch. If you're into like crazy boomy bass then you will definitely need an amp and sub, but these bang on if you're into clear and precise sounding music. For the price, this is a great product. I'm a new fan of Polk. I also have to say that Crutchfield seriously rocks. I ordered on a Sunday and they arrived Tuesday morning, free shipping was awesome. The guys from Crutchfield called me (because I typed in my address wrong) and were super nice and accommodating on the phone. Crutchfield is the best, don't bother ordering from anyone else. Pros: Easy to install, great mids, really clean bass, an awesome upgrade for your system.
Excellent speakers Written By Robbie, Williamston, NC on Saturday, January 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It's funny how you never notice how bad stock speakers are until you change them. These speakers are crystal clear and you hear your music like never before. I have used Polk before and they have never let me down.
Impressed Written By DodgeRam2500, Manchester, Mi. on Monday, January 23, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Replaced (4) factory speakers- These 6x9's up front sound better, especially at HIGH volume, than all 4 of the stock speakers. Even impressed with the bass and mid response. Installation was simple and smooth, all the adapters were perfect, instructions spot on and easy to follow. I did forget to secure the wiring adapter, which adds about 6" of wire inside the door, so my window rubbed it on the way down. Easy fix and I was warned ahead of time, just forgot. Pros: Crisp and clear at high volume- mostly listen to metal. FFDP, Sevenfold, Metallica, etc. I used to stop volume increase at point of distortion, now I stop because it's too loud. VERY happy with bass. Cons: Little worried about the tweeter, which pushes slightly on the factory door grille. Too soon to tell if it will cause damage.
Amazing Sound Quality and some bass response Written By Pete B, New England on Tuesday, July 12, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these speakers for my Honda to replace a set of Kickers I had installed years back. In the first week they were installed they didn't impress me too much but after a couple weeks of break-in they have some great sound and even add a bit of bass (I don't have a sub currently). I have them paired with a 300W Rockford Fosgate 4 channel amp and have a Polk Component System in the front on the same amp. With this setup the sound is crisp, clear and loud.
Polk Audio db691 Written By Dan B, Eau Claire WI on Monday, April 18, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these speakers for my boat because they are marine rated, sound great in my boat.
great speakers Written By '04 Dodge Ram, Maryville, TN on Wednesday, March 30, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After reading the other reviews on your site, I felt like I was taking a chance when I bought these, but I love these speakers! I have them in the front door panels of my pickup, pushed by a Bazooka amp, and they produce the clearest, deepest sound I've gotten from many sets of speakers I've bought over the years. They have enough low end on the hip-hop stuff to rattle the doors and yet produce some really piercing highs listening to rock and the occassional diva track, but they really shine when they get to show how effortlessly they can do both at once on more complex jazz and country pieces. I couldn't be happier! Kudos to Polk for a fine product
Polk Audio db691 Written By Jim, Pennsylvania on Thursday, February 10, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very good product. When I called I asked what was best for what I have and Buck recommended these and they sound great. Got everything to install them. Shipping was super fast and service was super awesome
Polk Audio db691 Written By MichaelW, Gainesville, FL on Monday, November 22, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great sound, solid base, good clarity and image in the higher frequencies. I am powering these with a RockFord fosgate 100W amp, so that doesn't hurt my impression. Have them mounted on the rear deck with the 4" 2 ways in the front doors. I'm very satisfied and would purchase them again.
WOW Written By Brian, Merrimack NH on Tuesday, October 05, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers are something else! I purchased these after being VERY disappointed with "kickers " that some reps sugested were great ( I returned those) These speakers have lots of CLEAN bass and blend in well with the highs and mids from my front components. I have them hooked to a Rockford Fosgate amp, however I have to keep the gain below half. I believe these things would push lots of bass from any deck with or without an amp. The Kickers I tried were way too high on the highs and distorted on lows even at moderate volume. When you call, I recomend KEVIN at EXT 4043 as a good rep.
Great Speakers Written By 2006 Dodge Ram, Washington on Saturday, September 18, 2010 Amazing sound out of these speakers. I was concerned about the sound I was going to get after reading a number of reviews about needing an amp to power them. I have this hooked up to my stock deck in a 2006 Dodge Ram. I added the Polk Audio DB651s for the rear speakers, but honestly they are not needed. The highs and the lows that come out of these 6x9's is very impressive. The fact that they have a built in crossover is nice, the bass comes through very clean leaving the highs loud and crisp.
Great Speakers! must be Amplified! Written By JMS, Pennsylvania on Monday, May 31, 2010 I read a bunch of reviews for these speakers, and found a lot of people saying no sound comes out of these, my stock speakers worked better than these, or something along those lines. Before I buy a speaker I always check out the the specifications and one thing I noticed about these was was their minimum power started at 10Wrms. Thats a very high starting point for speakers! I realized with this that meant even the best head units out there were only going to push out 14-18Wrms which means your barely going to be pushing these bad boys. Would you settle for a nightlight in every room of your house as all the light you had? Anyways I hooked the speakers up to Rockford Fosgate Punch P400.2 and WOW, what an amazing difference! They went from cranking the H.U. up just to hear them to turning them up halfway and now shaking my mirrors. Take it from me these are good speakers, you just have to get an amplifier.
A warm, rich sound - but lack some brilliance and clarity Written By Beau, Nashville, TN on Wednesday, November 11, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have the Polk db 691 and db 651 coaxials driven by a Kicker Zx350.4 (60w x 4 ) amp. Now they sound a little better than my 8-year-old Kenwood 3-way 6 x 9"s, but my old Infinity Refenence 6.5"s sounded a lot brighter and more detailed... I bought these Polks because they should last a lot longer in the rear deck. UV rays and heat from the sun will deteriorate most speakers.( My old Infinity Reference 6 x 9" cones rotted away in 2 years time, but I should have covered them up with a towel or used a sun shade because that car sat in the driveway most of the time in direct sunlight.) As for my front door speakers, I transfered my old Infinitys to my other car so I still enjoy them... The Polk db vocals sound pretty good and they can handle moderate power (60W RMS), but I know first hand that the Infinity Reference have a "brighter" sound instead of the "warmer" sound that Polk db's produce. I am not familiar with the Polk Audio components or the Mobile Monitors, but I think in the future I will try Infinity Kappas- they should have a little more clarity and brightness. These Polk db's suit me just fine for now, as I listen to a variety of music including hard rock. They aren't bad for the money, but if you are not really on a budget, buy a quality amplifier and go for the Polk Mobile Monitors or Infinity Kappas- especially if you are into instrumental, bluegrass, or classical music.
Bad Polk Written By ChanHyuk, New York, NY on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The factory speakers on my Acura Legend were making buzzing noise so I thought it was time to change it. So, I bought set of Polk 6x9 and 6 1/2 to replace factory speakers which are paper base but it hits hard on the base which I like. But when I connected the Polk speakers, it was half as loud as the paper made speakers. I thought I connected the wires wrong but either way it sounded similar. I don't know how they do it but the engineers, they'll make gem out of rock I guess. Oh by the way, when I ordered these two pairs of Polks, the order didn't ship with any wires or wiring harness. None was included in the speaker box either. When I ordered the product online, it said it didn't require any extra harness. I ended up purchasing separate wires and a set of connectors to get the wires connected. I hate cutting and splicing original car speaker wires because I always end up loosing the original speaker plugs and it's messy with splicing on my own. I had to take apart the factory plug and get the wires out of the plugs without cutting the wires. Now, I am hesitant to swap the front speakers with 6 1/2 Polk because I'm going to loose all the base I enjoyed before. Right now I'm cranking up the volume much more to get the similar base effect. The sound detail is more clearer with Polk but from the rear speakers, you really want to hear the base. I'm thinking of trying out Infinity Kapa speakers soon.
Lot of BANG for the Buck Written By Roger, Columbia SC on Monday, June 01, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed these in the cockpit of my 23' boat and hooked them up to a 40 watt x 2 head unit and WOW. They sound great. Lots of base, mid, and high end tones. Really sound great without an additional amp or speakers. I will probably add an amp down the road to get the full benefit of these speakers. Have no concerns, they will provide what you are looking for!!
Upgrade Written By Darryl, Cleveland, Ohio on Thursday, March 19, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these to upgrade the factory speakers in my '06 Monte Carlo. The difference is night and day. The clarity is amazing.
Sounded good while they lasted Written By Jay J, Albany, NY on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great sounding speakers but had one blow one month after the year warranty expired. I still have the stock stereo and no amplifier too. And to add insult to injury, they're only sold in pairs. Maybe I just got a lemon but they were great for short term listening enjoyment!
Polk Audio db691 Written By Kevin, San Jose, CA on Tuesday, October 14, 2008 I modified the back of my 89 crx to fit these, and i get lots of bass in that small car. it satisfies me enough to hold off from purchasing a sub for a while. they demand a lot of power, so an amplifier will be needed in most cases, although my stereo (22 watts rms) holds it together quite well. Decent bass, decent price, clear highs. Im very satisfied with my purchase.
Polk Audio db691 Written By R-$, hawaii on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 I got 2 of these in my 4 runner and i am running 2 12 inch subs off of the same amp and these things still scream!. You can hear it from the bottom of the road.! Not only that but it screams CRYSTAL clear.
Good, Versatile 6x9 Written By tower, USA on Thursday, June 19, 2008 One of the cleanest looking speakers in the entry-level bracket using a gunmetal color cone and not over-the-top grilles. Produce decent sound at low power (not so efficient if amplified considerably), especially if enclosed in a box, allowing it to produce decent mids and dip into the lows. Its also considered Marinized, making it an ideal speaker for installing in outdoor vehicles that don't see extreme weather (golf carts, mules, etc). All-in-all, a good performing, versatile speaker for the price.
poor review Written By wolfgrey, silverhill on Sunday, February 10, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This was my first time using Polk speakers. I will say it's my last. They have horrible mids and screachy highs. I feel like i'm listening to music inside a tin cup. I may upgrade to a higher quility Polk, but never would I suggest these speakers.
Nice and tight - excellent for my boat Written By Douglas, Milwaukee WI on Wednesday, November 07, 2007 I purchased a pair of the 6x9 and 5 1/4" speakers to install in my vintage 1971 speedboat. Coupled with the infinity bass link and a Jensen head unit the system really rocks - hard! I have received a number of compliments on the sound system - for the sound and looks. Everyone likes the speakers - the grills are very nicely done - nothing overstated or cheesy with chrome. They have received a fair amount of splashed water and it hasn't damaged them. I wouldn't submerge them; however, they do prove to work well in a boat. I will be adding a pair of these to my 2007 Accord because the sound is amazing. On a boat the last thing you want is distortion at high volume to overcome the motor sound - these puppies really crank - loud and clear - and at lower volumes when we are tied up on a sand bar - look out you will get lots of people asking how did you get that to sound so good!!! It's fun - and the speakers are priced right!
Polk Audio db691 Written By Adam, NC on Monday, September 10, 2007 Nice speakers. Very crisp and clean. Theyre not subs, but they do bump pretty good. Very clean bass. Pretty loud and just crystal clear.

There's a game to be played tonight, and there's a pretty important storyline to it with Jordan Zimmermann returning to the mound 12 months after undergoing Tommy John surgery. But I'd be remiss if I didn't mention what's taking place on the field right now.
Bryce Harper, who will be formally introduced in a couple of hours, is taking his first round of batting practice at Nationals Park. And I've got to say, it's quite a show. The 17-year-old laid down a couple of token bunts to get started, then intentionally struck several line drives toward center and left-center fields. Then he finally attempted to pull the ball for the first time … and reached the third deck down the right-field line. Yeah, that's right. Harper has hit about five other home runs during five rounds so far. Impressive.
Anyways, we'll have more on Harper later. As for tonight's game, Zimmermann's return is obviously the big story. If the 24-year-old needs any evidence of what he can do in the wake of Tommy John surgery, he needs only look at the right-hander who will oppose him tonight: Chris Carpenter. The Cardinals ace had the same surgery in 2007. Since then, he's 31-9 with a 2.52 ERA.
The slumping Nats lineup gets a shakeup tonight. Ian Desmond, one of the few hot hitters right now, will bat fifth for the first time. Nyjer Morgan gets bumped down to the 2-hole, with Adam Kennedy leading off. Interesting.
Check back throughout the evening for updates…

Interesting lineup tonight with Desmond behind Dunn and Kennedy at the top. I can't fault Riggleman for shaking it up as something needs to happen to get some hits out of these guys.And to see Harper in the batting cage…..what a show that must have been. Can't wait to see him in the everyday lineup.

Mark,Wow, AK leading off, what are his career stats vs Carpenter, I am asuming pretty good? Overall, a tough lineup to provide any support to JZimm! :(Who was pitching BP to Harper? Even though it was just BP, sounds impressive..thanks for the dose of optimism for the future!!

So, HR Derby in which year, now?
- HHover - Aug 26, 2010 at 8:17 PM
I don't see the need to bash Kennedy here for batting lead off. There aren't many better options. He's one of the more patient batters on a team that doesn't have many (yes, I'm looking at you, Ian Demond). And he's been hitting well lately–10 for 33 over his last 10 games, with 3 BBs.

He's not wearing the goofy make up, right?
- nattaboy - Aug 26, 2010 at 8:34 PM
Woo, Desmond batting 5th! I think he's gonna step up and take that role for the rest of the season. Unless we call Harper up
- FOTB - Aug 26, 2010 at 8:34 PM
Harper … Third Deck … Outstanding!
- Pete - Aug 26, 2010 at 8:38 PM
Sorry, until the Nats are a consistent winner you can't convince me that season tickets are a good idea. I probably go to 20-30 games a year and I rarely have to pay face value. Once I scored two Diamond Club tix for $40 because some lobbyist didn't feel like going that night. So I was behind home plate, and the tickets came juiced with $35 worth of concessions. I understand the argument that it is worthwhile to support the team, but I buy enough $8 beers to do my part. Also, I never have to attend games I don't want to, or feel obligated to go when I don't need to.

Mark,Rumor has it that CM Wang will be in DC Mon/Tue to meet the LLWS team from Taiwan. If things are slow might you give him a call to chat about life after Viera?Tks!
- raymitten - Aug 26, 2010 at 8:48 PM
No one was telling you to feel obligated to buy tickets you don't want to buy. You asked why anyone would want to be a season ticket holder, and I told you why I do. I don't feel obligated to buy them either. I want the team to be good and be successful because I suffered a long time without baseball here, and I want to support it financially as well as with my time and attention. Everyone's circumstances are different — not everyone can afford season tickets — but the facts are that if people don't support the team financially by paying for tickets and if it doesn't draw enough revenue to pay for good players, the "Lerners are cheap" argument doesn't hold water. Oh yeah, and I love being at the ballpark, so I consider it a bargain for six months of nightly fun and entertainment. I WANT to go every night.

Six days until the call-up. I hope the manager will bench the "vets" who are not everyday players and use this time to give major league experience to Ramos,and to test Espinoza, Whiting and Burgess.
- natsfan1a - Aug 26, 2010 at 9:06 PM
fwiw re. Nyjer, the Nationals Journal site has a post up about a Phillies fan who was there and contacted the Post with an eyewitness account in which Nyjer comes off far better than he has in today's coverage around the Internetz.
- Anonymous - Aug 26, 2010 at 9:15 PM
JamesFan, Whiting is almost 27 (I don't thing he is a prospect .615 OPS in Syracuse = atrocious), Burgess just moved up from A to AA and was only at .781 OPS in A ball; may be a prospect but minimum 2 years away. Ramos hurt his knee yesterday; I don't know how serious but he came out of the game. Sorry to rain on your parade but there it is.

Willie Harris. Really??? C'MON, WHY???
- Dave - Aug 26, 2010 at 9:27 PM
@ natsfan1a – Sounds about right.[Before the inning started, Morgan looked at the crowd. A boy of about 12, Holman recalled, leaned over a railing and called for the ball.Standing 30 or so feet away, Holman wrote, Morgan lobbed the ball "rainbow-style" in the direction of the boy. The ball sailed over the boy and smacked a fan who was looking in a different direction in the shoulder.] Always overthrowing the cut-off man!!

Still wondering why they didn't dump TAWH on waivers and claim Cody Ross? Harris shouldbe on the waiver wire not Ross … In spiteof Vanilla Riggleman's.

How many 17 year olds can drive a baseball (with a wooden bat) into the third deck of a major league park while actual major leaguers and major league personnel are watching over his shoulder? I dare say that would be a small number!! I have a hard time believing Bryce won't be in the majors before he is 20 (for more than a cup of coffee).

Ah, FLop. Same old FLop. Same old jaker FLop.Why does any team put up with this bum?
- tystoneman - Aug 26, 2010 at 11:39 PM
I'm so over Bob Carpenter and Ray Knight's ultra optimistic view of the National's future. Come on guys, lets not pretend the organization has an abundance of prospects in their farm system. I don't always agree with Dibble, but at least he doesn't read the Nats' talking points verbatim during the game like Ray does. Vom!

I'm with you, tystoneman.They're laying it on pretty thick with the Kool-Aid tonight.

I am fairly impressed with Harper's time in the booth – good sense of humor, and a sense of baseball history.
- Sunshine_Bobby_Carpenter_Is_Too_Pessimistic_for_Me - Aug 27, 2010 at 12:06 AM
So was I, Jeanne B. Plus, he was polite to Bobby C., even deferential. Seemed like a very-together 17-year-old. Not at all what I was expecting. Hope it all works out. There's an open right field spot, that's for sure.

This team wears me out…the collapse in the nineth is a good example. But then they come back to tie the game and so I sit in a hotel room in Austin, Texas listening via Gameday to the Nats radio broadcast for another inning or two. I want to go to bed but I can't turn it off.I think 2008 was the low point for me–pre-Strasburg, pre-Harper, pre-Pudge, etc….no hope anywhere to be seen. That was the worst. I would have turned that team off after blowing the lead in the 9th
- A DC Wonk - Aug 27, 2010 at 3:10 AM
Cut Carp and Knight some slack . . . we had Zimmermann finally come back (ok, so that didn't look great tonight, but he looked good at the start) on the same day that Bryce, the first time he tries to pull the ball, jacks it to the upper deck, and the day after Marquis' second consecute stellar performance. It's OK to be a bit optimistic today.

awesome. we win. congrats nats fans. we usually drop these kind of games but not tonight. awesome.
- BQ - Aug 27, 2010 at 4:11 AM
forgot to mention Dunn's contribution. He may not broken out of the slump completely but a sac fly and an extra base hit are an improvement over what he had been doing before. And what should we say about Desmond. He is a beast. He is the definition of clutch right now. but during regular season, he is more suited to be #2. Really looking forward to tomorrow's game.
- josh f - Aug 27, 2010 at 4:17 AM
Mark – where does this day rank now in Nats history? Bryce Harper's first visit to DC, and a gutsy thrilling walkoff!
- Ernie - Aug 27, 2010 at 4:42 AM
So glad I got to be there for a win. And in extra innings–a first for me!1. Desmond is looking a lot better in the field. He fielded a shot from Jay in the 12th and nailed the throw to first in what was maybe the cleanest play I've ever seen him make. Looked better than Zimmerman in the field tonight.2. Bernadina's shot was hit so hard on a line that everyone in my section thought it was a flyout well short of the wall.3. A lot of ups and downs tonight, but it was great to see them win as a team. Alberto, WillieHarris, Bernadina, Kennedy, others all had great moments and deserve some credit for the win. Maybe it was the weather, but this felt like the team I was watching in April and May this year. 4. With Willingham out and Guzman gone our bench looks sickeningly weak. LaRussa's pinch-hit pitchers looked better at the plate than some of our usual suspects.5. All of the double-switches came from the third base dugout!6. Maybe Willie Harris does not hate me as much as he used to.

Live Free or Die Hard
Action/Adventure, Suspense/Thriller
On the Fourth of July weekend, an attack on the vulnerable United States infrastructure begins to shut down the entire nation. The mysterious figure behind the scheme has figured out every modern angle but he never figured on McClane--the old-school "analog" fly in the "digital" ointment. It's the beginning of the holiday, but New York City Detective McClane isn't celebrating. He's had yet another argument with his college-age daughter Lucy, and received a crushingly routine assignment to bring in a young hacker, Matt Farrell, for questioning by the FBI. But for McClane, the ordinary has a habit of exploding into the extraordinary--abruptly hurtling him into the wrong place at the wrong time. With Farrell's help, McClane slowly begins to understand the increasing chaos surrounding him. An attack is underway on the vulnerable United States infrastructure, shutting down the entire nation. The mysterious figure behind the scheme, Thomas Gabriel, stays several moves ahead of McClane as he implements his incredible plans, known to uber-geeks like Farrell as a "fire sale" (as in, everything must go!)

When taking care of an elderly parent or another relative, family members need to work cooperatively. The more people participating in care, the less alone a caregiver feels in his/her role. Books and articles about caregiving often mention the family meeting as a way to facilitate this process. But how does one go about having such a meeting?
Each family is different. In some families, only a husband/wife and their children are considered "family." In other families, aunts, uncles, cousins, current and ex-in laws and close friends may be included in the definition of family. When planning a family meeting, it is important to include everyone who is or will be part of the caregiving team, and this may include a family friend, neighbor or paid caregiver.
It is also sometimes helpful to engage the help of an outside facilitator, such as a social worker or minister to help the family communicate about difficult subjects during the meeting. (This is discussed in more detail below.)
A decision must also be made about whether or not to include the ill family member in the meeting. Family members usually do not want to be excluded from family events and their preferences for care must be considered. However, if someone has dementia or another condition where he/she might misunderstand the purpose of the meeting, it might be appropriate to hold at least the first meeting without him/her present. Also, other family members may need to share with each other thoughts or feelings that would be painful for the ill person to hear. Consider holding one meeting to focus on those matters, and holding a second meeting with the ill person present.
Communication is the key to working successfully with a group of people. If it's difficult for some family members to travel to the location of the meeting, technology can help: a conference call or the use of a speaker phone can make it easier for them to participate. A videotape or an audiotape of the meeting can also be sent out to all family members who are unable to attend. With the use of email, even those who are not nearby can also be kept up to date on how things are going.
Prior to a meeting, you'll find it helpful to prepare an agenda. Someone in the family will generally introduce the idea of a meeting and arrange the date and location. That person can also create an agenda for the meeting and send it out to all the family members ahead of time. Family members can then share their ideas and suggest other items to include.
An agenda might include topics such as:
It will probably be difficult to cover all these issues in one meeting, so additional meetings will be helpful. Each ensuing meeting should have a clear time table and a definite beginning and ending time. Be sure to stick to the time table; if meetings get to be too long, fatigue sets in, minds will wander, and people may resist coming to future meetings.
As with all high-level negotiations, deciding where to hold the meeting is as potentially controversial as the meeting itself. Whether you hold it in an office, a restaurant or someone's home, keep in mind that you want a setting that the majority of the participants will find comfortable and convenient and that presents as few distractions as possible (e.g. noise, small children who need attention, etc.).
A successful family meeting gives everyone a chance to be heard. All feelings are appropriate and need to be expressed and acknowledged. People will be more willing to talk about their feelings regarding the situation if they feel safe. For example, the brother who is never present may reveal that he is unable to stand seeing someone sick, and the sister who is doing all the work may not realize how she pushes others away when they offer to help. Another sibling may be having marital problems which he or she has not yet shared with the family, and yet another sibling might be worried about losing a job. Each person needs to balance his/her own fears, concern, love and desire to help with available time, strengths, weaknesses and hopes.
Until the depth and breadth of the issues concerning the ill family member are explored, it is important to not try to solve the problems. Recording the problems in a list as they are shared, however, will be useful during the problem-solving portion of the meeting.
It is important for each family member to learn to use "I" messages, as well to say "I need..." rather than "You should..." Even when disagreeing, try to find the part of what is said that you can agree with. The goal of the meeting is to work as a team in caring for the person who is ill, even if there is conflict among family members in other areas.
At the conclusion of the meeting, make sure everyone has a clear understanding of the issues and considerations discussed. When the solutions to issues have been established, make sure that each person understands what he/she has agreed to do.
The most important thing for family members to remember is that the meeting is not a one-time event. Family meetings need to take place regularly. It is helpful to schedule them at a given time, perhaps at the same time each month. However, if this is not possible, they at least need to take place when the caregiving situation or other situations in family members lives change. Holding regular meetings puts less pressure on family members to get everything resolved in just one meeting, and allows more time for processing of information and decision-making. When a family member is unable to attend a meeting, keep in touch with them by phone, mail or email.
Families come with history: a history of how each person relates to the others, a history of what role each person has played and currently plays within the family, a history of how each person feels toward the person who is sick, and a history of how each person deals with illness and adversity. And in each family there are rules about what can and cannot be said, what emotions are okay and not okay to express. These factors can make family meetings difficult. This is why a third party facilitator can be helpful.
Family members play roles based on position in the family, relationship to the person who is ill, special talents, etc. The person who is the caregiver may be different from the one who handles the money, who may be different from the person who is the information gatherer, who is different from the one who is the decision maker or the one who has some medical background. One person might play several roles. Also, often someone is the "blamer," and someone else the "blamed." One person may try to make peace, and another may try to sabotage the process. There will be secrets, old family rivalries, guilt, unequal burdens, differing investments, values and interests. Some will worry about past promises and about someone else not pulling his/her own weight. Everyone will need attention, power, love, control, and appreciation. It can help to acknowledge that there is probably no fair distribution of work and trying to make it even will fail.
A narrow focus for each meeting can help alleviate some of the pitfalls. Still, you will have to deal with some of the difficult issues when they get in the way of cooperation. Remember that you can't resolve long-standing family issues with one such meeting. The task is not to "fix" the family, but rather to have everyone on the same team, as much as possible, in caring for someone who is ill.
If alcohol will detract from the main focus of the meeting or will lead to conflict, it is better not to offer it. However, each family has different ways of communicating, and in some families a drink may make everyone more comfortable and more able to talk. In any case, over-consumption should be avoided.
Consensus: Not all the issues inherent in caregiving and decision-making can be solved; sometimes it is important to accept approximations of a good solution. Try to work toward consensus building. Change happens slowly, but when families meet regularly, the seeds that are planted can grow into more productive solutions. Often things do not change until there is a crisis, but the work that has been done during the family meeting will make decision-making easier when the crisis does come. Agreements can be made on a time-limited basis to see if the agreed-upon action will work. Future meetings can be used to evaluate these trials and revise them as necessary.
Respecting each person's individuality and situation helps to create an atmosphere of acceptance and allows for creative solutions to problems. For example, Carol finds it difficult to be around sick people, so when her brother got lung cancer, she knew she couldn't take care of him. However, she was more than willing to make the pastas of their native Italy and take them to him to comfort him during his illness. Jesse lives a thousand miles away, but can get time off from work to be with her mother while her brother and his family take a vacation. When Ed's mother had surgery, Ed arranged to take care of his father with Alzheimer's, while his sister worked full time and helped with the expenses. Gina takes her parents to medical appointments while her sister makes sure they get their medicines properly every night.
Compromise: In order for these solutions to work, people have to learn to compromise. By being open to alternatives, you might get part—although maybe not all—of what you want or need. We often hold out for only one solution to a problem, we don't consider other possibilities that could assist us. Asking for help is one of the hardest things to do. Learning to graciously receive help offered can also be a struggle, not only for the person who is sick, but also for the person who is the primary caregiver. Being appreciative is the best reward you can give someone who is trying to help you, even if the type of help he/she is offering isn't exactly what you wanted. When you make someone feel good about helping, he/she will want to help again. "Thank you" will take you a long way in working together. In creating the caregiving team, think about how each person should be acknowledged.
Put it in writing: A written agreement capturing the decisions and agreements made at the end of the meeting can be a helpful reminder for family members. Distributing a calendar with different days marked with responsibilities and commitments can also help each person honor the agreements made.
Although family meetings can be powerful and effective ways to connect and work with family members, they cannot magically solve all the problems of caring for an ill family member. When families have trouble working together or coming to agreements or when the family is divided on a big issue, it often helps to invite a neutral outside facilitator to attend. Sometimes a crisis precipitates the need for a meeting—perhaps someone is in the hospital and major life and death decisions need to be made. Time can be of the essence. Whatever work you have done together earlier will help you at these times of extreme stress.
Social workers from local caregiver organizations (such as Caregiver Resource Centers in California), as well as ministers, private case managers, social workers in home health or hospice, physicians, discharge planners in hospitals and nursing homes can help facilitate a family meeting or refer you to someone who can. Psychotherapists in private practice are trained in family counseling. If you find yourself in a difficult position, you might also want to see a psychotherapist privately. Don't forget the support you can find with friends, colleagues and support groups. Sharing experiences with other caregivers can help ease the feelings and frustrations often involved in being a caregiver.

June Jacobs Spa Customer Reviews
Love it - 11/22/2014 8:50:14 PM I absolutely love this moisturizer. I have been through several brands Mary Kay, Arbonne, phytomer, and some brands from walmart, and after visiting a spa and being introduced to this product I have found a winner! This moisturizer leaves my skin so soft and I love the light scent it has. My skin has turned sensitive after having kids and this does not irritate my skin at all. I use it morning and night. No more dry spots! I wish it had sunscreen (but maybe it wouldn't smell as good) and it wasn't so expensive! Still my favorite though.Love the smell! - 3/25/2014 5:58:17 PM I had a facial at The Marriott Spa in Palm Desert recently and this exfoliating masque was recommended for my skin. I have Roscea, so I need to use gentle products. I have only used this product a couple of times, but I love the smell and how soft if makes my skin feel. It is very easy to apply and it does not harden like some masques, so it is easy to remove.We love this - 1/26/2014 5:50:21 AM I have used this product nightly for over 10 years and now my daughters use it also. We occasionally try other face cleaners but not for long. All of us hate being out of this one! We are not heavy make up users and apply a small amount of cleaner to a damp wash cloth to clean our faces at night. In the mornings we use the JJ scrub.Lost without it - 1/26/2014 5:34:40 AM I have been using this product for over 10 years now every morning in the shower. You only need a small pea sized bit of it, and it makes your face feel clean and refreshed. My three daughters are also use it, and I feel along with the cranberry cleanser at night it kept two of them acne free during their teen years. The third has just become a teenager and is Ok so far.Excellent 3-in-1 Product for Guys with No Patience - 11/26/2012 7:46:41 AM I purchased this cleanser for my husband after much research. He was using harsh soaps and chemical based shampoos that caused his skin much irritation, redness and dryness. This product is perfect for a man who does not like to fuss. This is an excellent cleanser. Non-irritating, effective, refreshing and great as a shampoo. My husband's skin looks clean and bright now and his scalp is no longer dry, his hair is soft. He doesn't have to bother with separate facial cleanser, soaps and shampoos. The combination of ingredients in this product is very healthy. He was previously using dandruff shampoos and conditioners that actually caused flaking. Now, he has no more flaking or dandruff. Best of all, he's using the product morning & night because it works, it's easy, and it feels good. I am about to order it again.Great toner! - 9/28/2012 11:48:20 AM I have been using this toner for a year. I especially like that it's a spray and that I don't have to apply any pressure to my skin I just let it dry naturally. It's also very refreshing and cools my face when I apply it. Just one or two sprays is all I need. My skin looks and feels tighter. Will definitely continue using this product.Not the better half - 7/22/2012 4:23:53 PM I purchased this with the Pore purifying cleanser, and it was definitely the lesser of the two. The cleanser is great, but the toner made me see little breakouts and i feel it has somewhat of a slightly sticky feeling on the skin. For the price, really not worth it.Quality (but pricey) product - 7/22/2012 4:08:11 PM I`ve been using this cleanser for many years, and I have to say that it is one of the best for oily-combination skin. This pearly formula deeply cleanses, with a nice light foam and it doesn`t leave the skin tight or dry. Amazing when used with clarisonic. One star less because it is quite pricey.BEST SHAVE CREAM PERIOD. - 6/29/2012 3:04:15 AM I've tried quite a few, and compared to BJ hydroplane, which gets all 5 star reviews, this June Jacobs product is easily superior. Smells amazing, like a clean almost citrus scent. Very light texture at first, but as you lather it on it seems to thicken and multiply. This cream holds up to a double edge razor for the initial shave, and also for touch-ups against the grain, without any reapplication. And then its still moist and a bit sticky on your face and takes effort to rinse off. Unlike anything I've ever tried. Trust me, I love a few other BJ products, but I have a bottle of hydroplane alongside this June Jacobs, and I almost always use the jj. Sometimes for variety I use the hydroplane, and always pay for it afterwards with a few nicks. JJ > AOS, PTR, JB, BJ, anything else I have tried. Pricey but so worth it!!FANTASTIC - 8/3/2011 5:19:42 PM PRODUCT AND OH SO REFRESHING ON MY SKIN. IT HAS IMPROVED THE REDNESS OF MY SKIN. HIGHLY RECOMMED THIS TONER. -

Tailgate Handle at 1A Auto
What is a Tailgate Handle and where is it Located?
A tailgate handle is the object that you lift up on when you want to release the tailgate from the rest of the truck bed at the rear of the vehicle. It may be constructed from metal or plastic, and is often faced with a harsh life, especially on a work truck. Sometimes these handles have a plastic bezel surrounding them that makes them look like the rest of the truck's trim package. The tailgate handle and tailgate bezel often come in smooth or textured finishes. For most vehicles they come black in color, but the smooth versions are paintable if needed. Another option that comes on some trucks is a locking tailgate handle. Like just like the exterior door handles on the vehicle, a locking tailgate handle includes a lock cylinder where a key is inserted to lock and unlock the tailgate in the up and down positions. This is great if you have a cap or a bed cover, because you don't have to worry about people taking your prized possesions. However, a locking tailgate handle on a truck without a cap or bed cover is quite pointless, because evildoers can just reach in and take your belongings.
How Does a Tailgate Handle Work?
The tailgate handle is a very simple mechanism. When a person lifts the tailgate handle, the handle pulls on some rods (or levers) that live inside the tailgate. These rods control the tailgate latches on each end of the tailgate. As the handle is lifted, the latches retract. This then allows the tailgate to be lowered to the horizontal position.
When is a Replacement Tailgate Handle Needed?
When a tailgate handle replacement is necessary, it is obvious. In most cases, the handle completely breaks off, and leaves an open hole in the tailgate where bees begin to gather. If you are lucky, you can still work the rods inside the tailgate to make it open and close with the missing handle. If not, there is often an access panel on the inside of the tailgate which allows you to access the bees, along with the broken tailgate handle and bezel parts.
Replacing a Tailgate Handle
Replacing a tailgate handle is usually very do-it-yourself friendly, assuming the aforementioned bee scenario hasn't taken place yet. Typically, replacing a handle involves no more effort than removing a couple of screws and unclipping the tailgate handle linkage from the back of the broken handle. As always, a service manual or installation video is a terrific guide for any automotive repair.
Need a New Tailgate Handle?
If you are in need of a new tailgate handle replacement, you have come to the right place. At 1A Auto, you will find a large selection of aftermarket tailgate handles for many makes and models. If your truck came with a locking tailgate handle, our handles will also have the provision for that. We also carry a small selection of tailgate handle and lock assemblies for certain older makes and models as well.
We not only know everything that there is to know about tailgate handles, but we stock the highest quality, best fitting handles available. 1A Auto's aftermarket handles are strengthened in failure-prone areas, so that you won't have to do the repair twice. We use these tailgate handles on our own trucks, and we have absolute confidence in the fit, finish, and quality.
At 1A Auto, shopping for replacement tailgate handle for your vehicle is easy - we're here to help you select the right one! Call our customer service toll free at 888-844-3393 if you have any questions about the product, warranty, compatibility or to purchase, or you can buy online right here at 1AAuto.com.

Peavy looks to extend win streak as Rockies visit
Matzek hopes to end losing skid in series opener vs. Giants
In his first 23 starts of the season, Jake Peavy had one win.
But behind two superb outings in his last two starts, Peavy has collected a pair of wins, marking the first time since September 2013 that he has won back-to-back decisions.
Peavy will take the mound Monday night against the Rockies as the Giants try to cling to a one-game lead for the National League's second Wild Card spot. The Giants have lost just one of their last four series, to the sizzling Nationals over the weekend.
In his last two starts, Peavy has posted a 1.93 ERA and a 11-to-3 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 14 innings. He four-hit the White Sox across seven innings before scattering 10 hits in seven innings against the Cubs.
In his career, Peavy has struggled against the Rockies, going 5-6 with a 4.10 ERA in 19 starts against Colorado. But since 2008, Peavy has only faced the Rockies twice.
Unlike Peavy, Rockies left-hander Tyler Matzek will be riding a losing streak into Monday's matchup. Matzek has lost his last five decisions across four starts and an emergency relief appearance.
The five-game stretch has inflated Matzek's ERA from 4.28 to 5.38 and dropped him from 2-4 to 2-9. He has an 8.06 ERA and 1.881 WHIP in that span while opponents are slashing .326/.415/.618.
In his last game Tuesday against Kansas City, he gave up three runs in 6 2/3 innings and lost, 7-4. That was his longest outing since he went a career-high seven innings in his Major League debut June 11 against Atlanta and July 26 against Pittsburgh. He has pitched at least six innings in nine starts this season.
The Giants are the only division opponent Matzek has not faced. He is 0-4 against the Dodgers, Padres and D-backs.
Rockies: Rosario to return Monday?
Catcher Wilin Rosario was held out of the lineup again Sunday, one night after not being available to pinch-hit during Saturday's 13-inning game.
Rosario planned to hit in the indoor cages Sunday and hoped to return for Monday's matchup.
He last played Wednesday against Kansas City, when he hurt his wrist sliding.
Giants: Lincecum may skip next start
Tim Lincecum's status for his next scheduled start remained uncertain Sunday, as Giants manager Bruce Bochy had yet to meet with the right-hander to discuss his slump.
Bochy said he had talked with pitching coach Dave Righetti and general manager Brian Sabean about Lincecum, who yielded six runs (four earned) in 2 2/3 innings Saturday. Lincecum is 1-3 with a 9.49 ERA in his last six starts.
Bochy added that Yusmeiro Petit, the leading candidate to start Thursday against Colorado if Lincecum doesn't, will need a couple of days' rest after pitching 6 1/3 innings in two appearances since last Thursday. But Bochy said once Petit's arm recovers, he wouldn't hesitate to use the long reliever in a game if the need for him arose.
Worth noting
• The Rockies are a Major League-worst 18-44 on the road this season. Monday's game starts a seven-game road trip for Colorado.
