I received an inquiry from a student attending the Master's program for Instructional Design and Technology program at a local university. The question posed to me as the title of this thread suggests.
I've got some of my own thoughts, but I'm curious what others think.

How did I develop the skills and capabilities I have today? The four P's. Passion, Practice, Persistence, and Patience!
Passion: One is got to have a passion that's deep enough to commit learning and developing every day...late nights and weekends included. The type of passion that looks at everything with a solvable eye, and not a "I've never done that so I don't know how" or "That's too hard...I'll just do it this way to get it done." The type of passion that thrives on inspiration and creativity because let's face it - this industry for the most part requires creativity to some degree.
Practice: Over and over and over and over. The elearning business has many layers as mentioned by everyone in this thread. Getting to a proficient expert in any one area will get you going, but I think it's more about being really really 'good' at all the layers. Job Descriptions in today's marketplace are listing many of these requirements. Companies in today's environment as you asked are scaling back. It's been a trend for awhile, but orgs are looking for the 'Jack of All - Master of None' employee. One person to replace three previous positions. The only way to prepare for those opportunities is to practice those skills. Most notably skills in Instructional Design and scripting out courses, storyboarding and designing courses, understanding the tools and knowing how to use them effectively, and of course keeping everything moving along nicely with good PM skills.
Persistence: What made me, me is an extra 20-30 hours a week, late night wee hours in the morning, lots of reading and research, practicing until you want to throw the computer in the river, and the underlying driving force that if I stamp my name on a course I want there to be value and something I can be proud of. We all have funky days where we question ourselves, "Why am I doing this to myself" and want to do something else. I often take breaks; unplug; decompress, and walk away for a few days to regroup. It's not how fast you can get to where you want to be, rather a persistent and steady pace. Only you know how fast that pace can be in your life.
Patience: Patience with oneself. This is probably the hardest for me. I want to learn it all NOW! When I dive into something new and want to get up to speed quick, I find that I underestimated the level of what I truly need to learn to be effective. Forcing oneself to slow down and be methodical is not easy...at least for me. Patience also means you may be strong in one area but weak in another. Recognizing the weak areas which may be ID, or graphics, or PM, or coding, or whatever area you think has value in the career pursuit you're after is the hard part. Then it's about being patient with yourself to get through it.
Does that answer your question, Heidi?

Hi Kevin,
Not completely, but I really want to digest everything you said before I try to ask any further questions.
Thank you!

Old thread resuscitation! I like those
I agree with Kevin that these 4 P's are all necessary - though I'm still on the fence about the idiosyncratic results offered by the development of a Jack of All - Master of None, regardless of the employer's expectations
I'll add these:
- Task Focus: There's nothing like regularly trading sleep for working through very specific tasks and problems to hone a skill set and sticking with this specific task focus until you've broken through another mastery progression barrier. 2AM used to be my productive limit. I'll still run against all night "do-fests", just not so often
One of the interview question series I'll ask creative engineering types (technical, visual, ISD) is whether or not they spend any time outside of work sharpening their craft. If the answer is no, it's usually a non-starter for me unless they carry immense natural talent or it's their first job out of school.
- Peers: Finding talented peers to interact with is far easier now than it was a decade ago. I think when coupled with a task focus, skill development can really be accelerated with a social feature and directive feedback. Here's a neat example of a fellow that applied the four P's Kevin mentioned above along with leveraging task focus (he didn't try to do everything at once) and peers:
Page through from his first posts to his latest posts. Early on, his talent was [nice]undeveloped[/nice]. You can really see his development as time goes on. He documented major steps in a nine year journey and now he teaches art. He had the passion and matched it with a "no-stop attitude".
In my opinion, a lack of focus and touch and go fiddling is fun but it's really the road to mediocre mastery of any field. Picking a direction and maxing out that skill tree is important. I've met far too many well educated regurgitators of ed-tech dogmas that can throw around buzz-phrases all day long but haven't a clue how to apply the education or use these really valuable gifts successfully. Yet these same folks have breadth in tool dabbling and can Photoshop like a second year intern. It's a waste of nascent talent and / or a poor career choice. On the flip side, I've met some really talented folks (educated and not) that are well-rounded across the spectrum and can kick-ass consistently. I suppose a threshold of mediocrity comes with the territory in any craft, but I expect better from a field with such a heavy science component.

Yeah Steve, my 2AM nights are becoming farther and fewer between, too!
Task Focus is certainly a major part. In the context here about becoming a great ID - that in itself is the task. The task of becoming a great ID. All the layers and sub-layers of accomplishing that *task* will differ from one to another based on their workflow style.
Anyone with pure raw talent that says they do anything to hone their craft outside of work hours is pulling your leg. I say this because those with talent do what they do because of the passion. The passion knows no clock. Whether they make $100k/yr or out of a job, nothing will keep them between their love of what they do. Back to Heidi's question, "What makes you, you?"
Talent alone will only get you so far. But at some point they will have to become task focused along with the four P's. Just like the guy on conceptart.org. He has/had raw talent but until he focused on a task (sketch every day) and *practiced* he would not have gotten where he is. Really enjoyed that! Thanks for sharing.
To the Jack of All is to say what the corporate workforce is looking for in today's environment. That's what companies are demanding and the experience I've witnessed in the past couple years, we've turned away very qualified and educated candidates. Why? Because they lacked one specific skill regardless of the fact they possessed several others that we were in need of.

I find it interesting that in answering my question none of you cited any formal education that you've had. The conversational thread in February discussed how formal education alone has failed to prepare my generation with the skills, capabilities, and agility that we need to excel in the field, however, so I suppose I should not be surprised. That being said, there clearly is some value to masters programs aside from merely a stamp on a resume. The conclusion I am coming to is that it is a matter of identifying the program that will correctly align with the skills and weakness of the individual.
Here are my questions:
1. Would the "correct program" focus on more courses in the student's weak area, or in her areas of strength. The former would allow her to strengthen any weak links / anything that would be bringing her down, but would merely make her an average / OK ISD. The latter would allow her to excel in one or two of the three areas as she would learn to further develop those strengths, but if she remains weak in the third there would be a glass ceiling cap on how far she would go.
2. What point in the career should one obtain a masters degree? I believe someone said five years. However, my concern is that there is a point that one can reach where learning formally how to do things would keep from hitting brick walls.
One thing is clear from the thread and that is that formal education is far from the end all be all. However, if I'm going to invest the time and money in obtaining a masters degree while working, I want to make sure that I make the right choices.
Thanks for your advice oh wise ones,

I may be in the minority, but I don't believe one should choose a master's program for the purpose of addressing weaknesses while glossing over existing skills. I believe that sort of specificity is best solved with specific courses, whether academic or commercial, such as for a particular software suite. In my master's program, wordily titled "Computer Education and Cognitive Systems," I was frequently dismayed and the class discussions were sometimes bogged down by K-12 teachers who were unholistically ticking off three graduate hours at a time, in return for small-scale pay bonuses; they seemed to think as small as that $50.00 bonus. Most of us were there for the scope+vision program as a whole. (Nothing against K-12 teachers, but too many in that program at that time were in the wrong place.) As an example, I firmly believe that rather than pursuing a full master's program to address a weakness in, say, storyboarding, an adult practitioner should first investigate the wealth of cheap-if-not-free courses available, and only then investigate the local community college, and only then invest ~$2,000 in a course from a commercial vendor.
Bear this in mind: "When I got my bachelor's degree, I thought I knew everything. When I got my master's degree, I realized I knew nothing. When I got my Ph.D., I realized it doesn't matter." Riffing on that, I had not fully understood before enrollment that my master's program actually offered several tracks, from AI to K-12 curriculum design to corporate instructional design to educational technologist, each with pros and cons. After the first six hours or so, and in consultation with the very good advisors, I chose to specialize in corporate instructional design. BTW, the K-12 emphasis was there as an inter-departmental political token to the College of Education, who lost several good professors to my relatively new program. The lesson here is to understand not only the options available, and actually evaluate those options and those professors, but understand also the programmatic emphasis of the university.
Regarding timing, five years is as good as any and better than most, I believe. As for me, I had two years in corporate skills training and two years in online training design and development. Fifteen years is probably too late. Speaking of senior professionals in the context of specific skills and topics: I've presented to many professional associations over the years (ASTD, STC, etc.), frequently with lifelong, mono-focus practitioners in the audiences - coaching only, sales training only, etc. These people are the neediest, because they've missed so much over the years while not educating themselves. For instance, in a 2011 preso to a local association about Articulate, I mentioned that Articulate Online is a cloud solution, but the cloud concept was completely alien to a few in the class.
And last, regarding the post-surname initials, I think it's posturingly silly to include "M.A." or "M.S." in routine signatures such as for emails. Ph.D., yes; formal listing on programs, yes; but otherwise, no. There are too many former "school marms" and their male equivalents who stretch into corporate training and post that Master's brag, which just makes it more ironic when they prove to have no experience in, say, project management or melding multiple software versions or ... Of course, I'm proud of my credentials (project in lieu of thesis, BTW), but I only display those initials on resumes and for presentations, to meet qualifications or establish credibility.
Your mileage will vary, of course.

My formal education is all over the map. I've dabbled in education and my academic experience ranges from "yawn" to "wow" across many disciplines that include IT systems analysis / Web application development to Human Performance Technology and training. I think academic focus depends A LOT on where you want to jump into the pool.
If you're hunting in Kevin's territory, you'll want to round your education and skill acquisition but have a strong focus in ISD foundations and Project Management. If you want to work in larger shops you might want to swing your ISD focus more intently on the types of outputs the shop produces. It's such a broad and fragmented field it's tough to tell where one should focus their education pursuits.
In my view, the education is really important as a foundation and enhancement. I think our education system is failing ISD's for quite a few reasons. The first is that it's a plateau that can be obtained without an underlying scaffold that relates to the field. ISD Masters programs aren't necessarily a Mastery extension of an undergraduate program.
That said, I think if an ISD doesn't have a firm handle on these elements, it's going to be really tough for them to be successful:
Some of these components are more stabile than others. Technology changes all the time. You'll gain some timeless skills in many programs to make yourself "future-friendly". I've taken courses at SDSU and have many friends that have relayed their pleasure with programs all over the country from Penn State to FSU to Indiana University to Boise State and ODU. Most of these schools are great and will provide the task-focus and peer interaction you'll need to shore up your capability.
I've shifted my course focus from curriculum and course description to "who is teaching". I want to acquire the interaction experience with the person and by extension the others that are interacting with this person. I think every experience is valuable, but some are more valuable than others. I'm trying to seek those "more valuable experiences" out at this point in my life / career.
I also try to keep in mind that the formal programs, while great, are only a small piece of the puzzle. Devotion to craft, voracious reading habits, and trial-and-error on your own (and some healthy peer interaction with an open mind) are the only things that will help you stay on top and keep ahead of a constantly changing craft. Tools can be learned without a formal education. Some folks need that push and support that you can get in the classroom. I'd keep in mind that academic courses that support tool operation skills are for beginners. And if you don't carry practice on your own outside of the classroom you'll always be a beginner.

Sage advice from Wayne above. Part of what I was trying to say was more succinctly and stylishly articulated in Wayne's post.
Posted Monday, October 03, 2011 at 7:48 AM
Good bullets, Steve. To bear out the need for balance, I believe that the first two items - HPT and consulting skills - are mostly and all experientially gained, respectively. An occasional seminar, perhaps no more than a brown-bag lunch type of event, is welcome, but I would beware anyone claiming to teach all there is to know about those topics. The third item, cognitive science, is best learned academically, but then must be balanced with real-life experience and continuing education. For instance, it's only now, 15-20 years after initial promulgation and wholesale adoption by the learning community, that we realize that retention statistics are phony. ("Studies show that we retain 10% of what we hear..." etc., was never studied or quantified.)
Speaking of balance, I've realized for many years now that I love this field because it engages both sides of my mind, the analytical and the creative.

Wayne and Steve both have tremendous insight and advice!
What I love about this conversation topic (debate) is that it will never be solved simply because it's your path. The good news is there are SO many paths in this industry that you can simply have a pick of the litter so to speak.
My path was out of circumstance and not one I had intended on following...until I got here and then realized the career potential. I'm a creative type and the design and development of elearning for the corporate workforce attracted me the most. All of which I didn't pursue until after my undergrad in Information Technology Management.
For the past 4-5 years now I've often thought about going back to get my Masters, but like Heidi, I wanted a specific program that focuses on what I'm pursuing. Quite frankly, not many do. A few likely candidates are San Diego State and/or Boise State as they both offer full on-line programs now.
I would totally agree with Steve on his last three points. I think there's a gap between an ISD who 'designs' instruction and one who understands what it takes to get that instruction into an elearning course.
Once it's determined that training is a solution and then that training will include elearning, that's where I come in. Effective elearning as we all know should be engaging, relevant, meaningful, and impactful at a minimum. How to achieve that is often the easy part writing and designing an effective storyboard, but delivering and presenting it in an on-line environment can be the challenging part.
Heidi - it really depends on what 'you' want to pursue. The bullets that Steve points out are a very well-rounded collection of skills that would allow you to just about draw your own path. Although, if you're comfortable with the corporate management, directorship, or even a CLO position then there's not much room for skill development in areas of design and actual development.
Perhaps I'm the rebel type that breaks the mold. I'd love more than anything to attend a great school, learn more, and earn a Masters and perhaps even a PhD. Yet, when I earned my undergrad it didn't help me get any further in my org than I am now and Masters won't either. In "my" career path a Masters will only be of value to me in terms of career progression is if I choose to move to a new org. Aside from personal growth earning one, I have a hard time giving up the next 2+ years to earn one when I know I can use that time to perfect my craft on my own and take 'myself' to school - reading, research, practicing, experimenting, etc. I'm even thinking on writing a book!
From just a guy in the trenches, the only advice I can sincerely offer is stay plugged into networks like this. Having a place to not only ask questions freely, but to have the likes of Wayne and Steve who so generously contribute to the conversation is invaluable!
Now, if we could just take all of us and put in a class together just think of the possibilities!

Yes, Kevin, you are exactly right: the knowledge and information shared on this blog is phenomenal. Thank you all for your advice!

Here's a development model based on ADDIE, and I'll mount my steed to proclaim that a competent instructional designer should be proficient in all phases of ADDIE over the course of a career. First there's the ADDIE component, then what I see as the foundation skills, then the most effective method of acquiring those skills.
Knowledge, Skills, Attitudes (KSAs)
Acquired how?
1. Establish confident credibility, 2. interviewing skills in particular and comm skills in general, 3. business analytics and statistics, 4. industry/organizational familiarity, 5. Synthesis
1. Personal development and personality, 2. academic+practice, 3. academic mainly, 4. prof'l experience mainly, 5. academic mainly
1. Combine vision + focus, 2. budgeting and time management, 3. technology knowledge depth + breadth, 4. Writing, 5. Project planning
1. Personal development, 2. academic mainly + experience, 3. specialized training + wide research on your own, 4. academic mainly + industry/organizational-specific experience, 5. specialized training (PMP) + experience
1. Synthesis, 2. Application, 3. Work ethic
1. academic mainly, 2. specialized training - software skills, etc., 3. personal development
1. Subject knowledge (whether delivering IBT, rolling out eLearning, whatever), 2. Professional flexibility (nothing goes perfectly), 3. Project management
1. experience and self-learning, 2. experience and personal attitude, 3. specialized training + experience
1. Statistics, 2. Report writing
1. academic mainly, 2. some academic, mainly specialized training + experience.

I am fairly new to the ID world, I have been in my current (and only) ID role for about 3.5 years, and if there was one thing that I wished I got more of out of my education, it would have been to spend more time learning about the analysis part of course creation process.
Even with knowledge of many learning theories, access to any graphic I could create (or get help creating), and other media (Engage interactions, flash videos, audio, etc...), if the content that is being developed is over the learners heads or to simple the intended learning will not take place.

If there were one thing for which I wish I had more time, it would indeed be analysis. Correspondingly, in a true ADDIE cycle, evaluation should feed analysis for the next effort. I laugh when I see employment ads soliciting knowledge of Kirkpatrick Level 4, because I've never worked anywhere that consistently uses Kirkpatrick Level 4 evaluation. Knowing the art of the possible, when to stick a fork in it and call it analyzed or evaluated, requires some nimble balance.
For instance, I replaced an instructional designer at Dell Computers who had stunk up the very term of instructional design in a months-long process of so-called analysis. As the program manager put it to me on my first day, glaring daringly at me, "We're in paralysis by analysis." As my team lead put it to me on my first day, "Don't introduce yourself as an instructional designer." If the client - internal or external - doesn't want me to be an instructional designer, then by golly I'm a training guy, and if the client doesn't want me to perform analysis by that name, then by golly "I'm here to figure out how I can help you."
So in further definition of a good instructional designer, the ID doesn't have to be the smartest person in the room, or the most technically adept, or the most experienced, but I believe the ID should be the most professionally and intellectually agile person in the room. Quick as a cat, dependable as a dog - I might put that on a t-shirt.

Great quote. We need to do a better job highlighting the services and support offered by the ID that aren't "skippable" if you want reliable results.

Totally agree with Wayne's point that the ID is better off not seeming to be the smartest person in the room. In my constant pursuit of knowledge, I encounter a lot of industry-specific and academic terminology and have occassionally created some psychological barriers with clients through the mis-step of using terms like "psychological barriers" or "cognition". I've found it much more helpful to show up as "one of us" instead of "one of them."

Shamelessly plagiarizing from the Internet Time Alliance member, Harold Jarche: "Work is learning, learning work". The quote sums up why I will learn much more addressing challenging real-world problems in my field than removing myself from the industry to "get schooled".
Like Kevin, I'd like to state that this is my path, my experience. It isn't meant as a dismissal of advanced degrees. It's more of a "where I currently stand". Currently, I have excellent work projects (subsidized project-based learning!). They force me to develop my skills to address real-world challenges. I also have the immense benefit of engaging with great communities with members who challenge my thinking and open my mind to new perspectives and possibilities.
I don't anticipate any program would present me with the same level of real-world application and challenge with demand for results (real world evaluation). It was different when I went for my MEd (long ago). I was light on experience, and my work environment wasn't challenging and developing my skills. Thus, the program was right to help me expand my skills (and in those days, less options to collaborate, fewer OER for development, etc...)
Like Nike, my current path is "Just Do It", not "Just Study It" (and let's be honest, most of the stuff being done today isn't being taught because it is so new, and so rapidly adapting- the book is being written in real-time and re-written daily)
...and don't get me started on how many bad learning myths are still present in academic programs (learning styles being my personal favorite- remember good Dr. Will has $1,000 bounty for proof!)
Perhaps my bias stems from having been trained or studied things in detail, thinking I knew a lot, then doing a glorious faceplant when I try to apply the skills.(Tech training anyone?)
Everyone together now: ___________________ is the best teacher.
If you don't get it from your current work, or can't find a way to create it (freelance, etc...), a program may be right for you. In most cases, it is readily available for you to take on.
You can bite off a lot to chew. The one survival skill that keeps me from hanging myself with all the rope I am given is business acumen-my ability to learn and focus on what is really of value to the business. This ensures I drive my designs and deliverables to focus on critical value drivers (not ID theory, not content, not tools- business value). If I stay in that value band, it's generally a safe zone. The "how" I generate the value- what shape the deliverable takes- is secondary to the fact I do generate the value. (Thus, they tolerate the bumps in the road as I continually learn the next thing to deliver the value).

I'm like some of the other old guys on here. Started shooting field back in 1973. The animal round was peper targets on bales. Can't quite remember when the 2D targets came along but it was a welcome change--something different. Then came 3D, the real deal. If there's one thing I've noticed it's that the more organized these shoots become the more people want to shoot for money (IBO & ASA). Along with this the common hunter has kind of been left in the dust and it's become less fun. There's not much better than a few local club shoots to get it back into perspective. I have always kept score if for no other reason than to keep track of whether I'm getting any better at it-----judging distance and the shooting part. Really, what's the alternative, sitting at home? Not a chance.

Yep I remember..I'm 41, started shooting in the Tri-County Rod and Gun Club in a small town where I'm from, when I was 15. Things have sure changed..but the fun is still there. I remember the bales the the paper targets were attached to..compressed soundboard with large bolts, and 2x6's holding them together. The penalty was high for a high miss..those bolts and nuts were hard on aluminum. I also remember when XX75's were the bomb..then replaced by X7's and the whole NIB craze. TM hunter rests were the ultimate at the time. Saunders torque Tamer stabilizers were also the hot ticket! I thought the game had changed when I got my first Jim Fletcher wrist release!

I still have a few TM Hunters.
One is still on one of my old bows...
I still have a couple of flippers as well as a Microbrite Tuner rest. The original launcher style lizard tongue style. Also have a sandwich ziploc bag full of every type of brass and steel sight pin you could get. Even have a bunch of the T-dot fancy light gathering hunting pins. Wow have times changed!!

The Cockapoo is highly intelligent, retaining much of that from the Poodle breed, and becoming very popular as a companion animal. A sturdy little dog, they have a great disposition. This breed can also be somewhat passive and can also be dog aggressive if not given the proper socialization.
The Cockapoo is loyal, intelligent, and very affectionate. This dog is fairly easy to train being mixed with what is said to be one of the smartest dogs in the world. Being that this dog is mixed with the Poodle, he makes a wonderful training student. Having a very sweet nature, this dog is sure to steal the hearts of many.
This breed is eager to please, vigorous, and friendly, making him a popular choice as a companion. The Cockapoo generally gets along with children and other animals, but should always be supervised. The Poodle and Spaniel in this mix can both have aggression problems if not dealt with at a young age.
The Cockapoo should be brushed and combed regularly. It is said that this breed is little to no shedding, however when being brushed hair does come out making shedding even less common. Clipping is required at least once a year.
The Cockapoo is a mixed breed without a breed standard, however the preferred coat is dense, curly or heavily wavy, and close. The Cockapoo should carry coat characteristics from both the Poodle and the Cocker Spaniel.
The Cockapoo is a very intelligent dog, making training a breeze at times. This dog does well in obedience, and with the right training techniques and proper handling this dog will thrive. This dog requires firm handling, but can be somewhat sensitive to the tone of your voice so training should be consistent and relatively firm yet gentle.
The Cockapoo is a happy-go-lucky dog that loves to run and play with his family. No yard is fine, but this dog does require daily walks. They also have the tendency to overeat so exercise is needed for this dog to stay healthy.
If you are looking for Cockapoo puppies for sale from reputable Cockapoo breeders or to adopt Cockapoos from a Cockapoo rescue then make sure you understand as much about the dog breeds you are interested in as you can. Every puppy breed is different. Begin your research by reading the breed information about the Cockapoo puppy above. Search our dog breeds section to find Cockapoo puppies that make great pets.

Jockey Quotes
MARTIN PEDROZA, NONIOS, Winner: "I saw the tape when Russell Baze rode this horse at Golden Gate Fields (a six length win March 10). He was like Silky Sullivan. I don't know what kind of horses he beat up there, but if you watch that horse on the computer, you'll see what I'm talking about. When this horse sees a hole he just goes for it. Very smart horse. Jerry (Hollendorfer) told me to ride this horse with confidence. He said this horse can run. I wish I could have been outside because I had so much horse. It was just a matter of whether or not I could get through. He wanted to go so bad on the turn but at that point I had nowhere to go. I wouldn't have let him go at that point anyway. In the stretch, a hole opened up and he just attacked it."
RAFAEL BEJARANO, LIAISON, Second: "He was in perfect position. I tried to save as much ground as I could, but it was tough from the outside post. It looked like Nonios had a lot of run, so I tried to get first jump. That horse just kept running. My horse had no excuse."
JOEL ROSARIO, HOLY CANDY, Third: "This horse is still learning. He kept looking around most of the way. He's got a lot of ability and he should do better next time."
Trainer Quotes
JERRY HOLLENDORFER, NONIOS, Winner: "I thought this horse could run for a long time. He should be undefeated. He was very unlucky to lose at Golden Gate when he ran against older. Luckily the owner kept confidence in me with this horse and let me run him here. I always get worried when we're on the rail and it looked like there wouldn't be anywhere to go. We got lucky and got a seam and ran through it. Martin rode through there very well. We have a long year left with this horse. All of the Triple Crown races are gone, but there are other very important races around the country and also here in California. To me, distance seems to be no problem. I made my mind up to run Rousing Sermon in the (Grade II, $150,000)Swaps (Stakes July 4), but for this guy, I haven't made a choice yet."
JOHN SADLER, HOLY CANDY, Third: "I don't think he got tired, he just hung a little bit. Maybe an equipment change next time. Maybe he needs blinkers. He's got a lot of ability, no question about that. The Swaps would be one option.''

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Polk Audio MM571 by Buck Pomerantz Why replace your car's original speakers? 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. Polk Audio continues its tradition of making brilliant-sounding speakers in stylishly designed packages their Mobile Monitor (MM) Series speakers look great and sound even better. Each speaker utilizes an extra-strong, extra-small neodymium magnet that saves space and weight, allowing these speakers to fit into more places in more vehicles while still delivering a full sound with lots of kick. Their lightweight carbon composite frames provide strong, flex-free support for the speakers' motor assemblies. The Polk MM571 5"x7" speakers feature honeycomb-textured woven glass fiber composite woofer cones that respond very quickly for a clean, crisp, and powerful sound. Large voice coils over an inch in diameter give the speaker high power-handling capability and extended reliability. 1" silk dome tweeters add a sweet high end that blends perfectly with the low notes so your music stays in harmonic balance, from the electric bass all the way on up to the cymbals. Important Note: These Polk speakers use a low-impedance design to pull more power safely from your car stereo or amplifier. This design is compatible with virtually all factory and aftermarket stereos.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Dynamic Balance: Dynamic Balance is a proprietary Polk Audio technology using laser imaging to determine what combination of speaker materials create the least amount of resonance. Eliminating resonance in speakers results in a wide, smooth response and low distortion. Klippel Optimized Components: Using a state-of-the-art Klippel Distortion Analyzer, Polk engineers were able to optimize the woofer's motor structure, voice coil alignment and suspension for the best possible performance, even at extreme listening levels. Woofer Cones: Woven glass composite cones feature tremendous stiffness-to-mass ratio. Lower mass means faster transients and finer detail. Butyl Rubber Surrounds: For a smoother response and improved durability, the woofers use butyl rubber surrounds. The airtight rubber surrounds stand up to moisture, sunlight and extreme temperatures while allowing long excursion linear motion and years of reliable use. Silk/Polymer Composite Tweeters: The 1" liquid-cooled, silk/polymer composite tweeters provide clear, detailed highs. Neodymium Magnets: The speaker's neodymium magnets offer exceptional strength to performance ratio and is extremely lightweight. Large Diameter Voice Coils: Large diameter, 30mm voice coils increase the speaker's reliability and power handling capacity. Carbon Composite Basket: The speaker's carbon composite basket is lightweight and will not flex during music audio peaks. Crossover: The speaker comes supplied with two separate 2-way crossovers; one for each speaker. Each crossover input 36" lead is terminated with tinned wire, and the two 20" output leads (one for the woofer and one for the tweeter) are terminated with female quick-slides. The positive woofer lead has a 0.250" female quick-slide and the negative woofer lead has a 0.187" female quick-slide. The positive tweeter lead has a 0.187" female quick-slide and the negative tweeter lead has a 0.110" female quick-slide. These quick-slides connect directly to the woofer and tweeter terminals on each speaker. The separate 2-way crossover network sends the appropriate frequencies to each driver for cleaner sound and better imaging. Dimensions: width = 3.515", height = 1.015", depth = 2.645" Mounting: This speaker can be used in both 5x7 and 6x8 applications. The speaker's integrated mounting ring allows the speaker to be mounted in a 5x7 or 6x8 cutout. Note: This speaker does not come supplied with grilles. You will need to use your factory grilles. Marine Certified Woofer: Polk MM Series speakers are built to withstand exposure to moisture and UV rays, so they work well in boats and cars. They also include stainless mounting hardware for corrosion and rust resistance.

Installed these 5x7's in a 2004 F150 SuperCrew without any modification, the fit was perfect. I'm using these in the rear doors for rear sound fill. Its a little early to tell but so far the sound quality is very good and a huge improvement over the factory speakers. I am powering them with a Rockford amp able to push around 50 watts/channel. I cannot compare or contrast the sound to others because I did not audition any other speakers. I'm happy with the purchase and would suggest a listen to these little guys. There might be better speakers for the money.......or maybe not. Pros: Fit, finish, quality sound Cons: Plastic frame 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Polk Audio MM571 Written By RichardC, Tampa Bay, Florida on Monday, August 27, 2012 I use Polk speakers all through out my house. With that said and I had no reservations about buying Polk's for my truck. I replaced my stock system which sounded good but of course it wasn't good enough, : ) ... I installed the Polk MM571 in the front and rear and what a difference, crystal clear, sound with zero distortion. I am powering them with a Fosgate Punch P400-2 amp. Very pleased with this purchase and will provide reviews on the amp and the Sony XNV-660BT head unit. Pros: Easy install, sounds great Cons: None so far 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Polk Audio MM571 Written By MikeR, DFW Area on Thursday, October 20, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I replaced the two front door factory speakers in my 98 F150. These speakers sound great, I'm going to get a 2nd pair to replace the back speakers. These are not just plug and play in my F150 - having the passive crossover, it took a little extra wiring but nothing major Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great sounding speakers Written By SethS, Billings, MT on Thursday, October 06, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers sound great once you get them in. For me it took a little modification to fit in the 5x7 hole in the Mazda 3 doors (The screws were in the wrong place). Didn't realize these came with a crossover but it didn't take me long to find a spot it would fit. They hit the highs well and the mids well too for a 5X7 speaker. Overall I'm impressed. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Sweet! Written By Pops, St. Clair Shores, Mi. on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed 4 of these speakers in my 2009 Focus Coupe i was blown away how much better these speakers sound over OEM. deep bass- crisp highs i can't wait to add an amp. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Outstanding! Written By D, Northeast on Tuesday, May 31, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed in 1996 Nissan Altima GXE without too many problems - some custom fitting required, but these are 1 of 2 5x7 speakers crutchfield says will fit my car. Had to saw off the ears' holes in order to get to fit into the housing and also had to drill some holes in door to get the crossover (I didn't realize it came with external crossover) to sit somewhere besides inside the actual door where the elements are. Speakers sound absolutely fantastic. I have them hooked up to a JVC KW-HDR720 double-din and even though it's not amped it still sounds amazing. These speakers really kick, especially at high volume. My doors vibrate easily. The highs are amazingly clear (had to turn them down a bit on receiver) and the lows pack punch. Might get more out of your investment if they're amped, but I'm perfectly content without. Highly recommend. Side-note: Crutchfield's directions for installing speaker in passenger door was non-existent and there were additional screws in less obvious locations compared to the driver's door. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Wow! Written By RIchT, South San Francisco, CA on Saturday, May 21, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Just had these speakers installed in my 2011 Ford Mustang GT Coupe with Shaker 500/Nav. Replaced both front and rear and was immediatly impressed with how clean and crisp the sound from these speakers are. My old speakers did not produce highs very well, now I hear so much more now. These speakers are worth it. 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 The best sound ever I have heard Written By Mark, Foley Al. on Monday, May 16, 2011 I have them in a 97 Ford F150 front doors and on a amp it is clean even turned up and I have to 10 subs the mid bass clean and mids and high so clean as well and money you pay for them I would do it again. very happy with them Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 WOW!! Written By Steve, Phoenix, AZ on Wednesday, March 09, 2011 I've heard alot of different 5 x 7's amped and unamped and these are the best I've found so far. I'm giving them 85 watts rms each and they have fantastic midbass for a 5 x 7. They actually make my doors and mirrors rattle when they'e turned up. Also they have great clarity and crisp highs with out being harsh. Worth every penny. Just remember they have external crossovers that need to be mounted and can be difficult to do in tight spaces. One last thing is that Polks always require a short break in period before they really start thumping. Make sure you amp these before you decide you don't like them, it makes all the difference in the world. The higher the power handling of a speaker the more necessary it is to amp them in order to make them sound good. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Clearly better than my factory speakers Written By Ioannis, Atlanta, GA on Monday, February 07, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) All I care about this, is that the speakers are a big upgrade over my factory Ford Taurus 2008 speakers. Better sound quality by far, bass is just right (perfect balance for my tastes). Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Ford Ranger Sound system upgrade Written By Roy G, Chuluota, Fl on Sunday, January 23, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Just completed a total system upgrade in my Ranger...consiting of the JVC receiver, 4 new Polk MM571 2 way speakers and Sound ordinance powered sub B-8P...and I have to say I am totally impressed with how solid and clean this combination sounds! I did a ton of research and picked these components based on their specs, and it really delivers. The JVC receiver amp is impressive, pleanty of punch to drive the Polks, and I love the features, HD radio is fantastic, I pod input is great and the menues are easy to navigate. The sound quality and stereo stage is so dramatically improved, I want to continue driving around listening to tunes. the Polks deliver solid highs, great mids (drums have incredible impact and punch)and decent lows. I added the sub after breaking in the Polks for two weeks.....the 8BP fits nicely behind the drivers seat and delivers rock solid bass. Do not require a larger or more powerful sub for the extended ranger cab...pleanty of sound. I do recomment using the XTC baffles for the Polks...the sound punch does improve over no baffle 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Speakers!!!! Written By David, Chesapeake,Va. on Wednesday, April 28, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I put these speakers in my 2006 ford mustang and I love them. I still have the factory radio and the sound quality is just outstanding!!! I also installed them in the front of my 97 F-150 and wow the difference it made in the high end sound. only thing is that with the F-150 the window mechanism kept hitting the voice wire on the speaker. So I had to GENTLY bend the tabs on the speaker so they would clear. But well worth the time. 4 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Great sound Written By Nathan, Mattoon, IL on Sunday, December 06, 2009 These speakers are pretty good with the highs and mids. They do lack some bass. Please make sure to get an amp for these speakers, I am running these on my kenwood kvt-514 and i cant listen to them above 2/3 volume because they get staticy. i would recommend running the full 90 watts to these speakers to get their full potential. Overall these speakers are great they sound like there is a concert going on in your head. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Beyond Expectations Written By Joel, Orange County CA on Thursday, July 16, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought these for my New 2010 Mustang GT. Replaced all four cheap speakers that came with my Shaker500 Nav System. Can not believe how much it changed the sound. Blows me away every time I hear them. Sound stage is perfect. Bass is nice and tight. Very well worth every penny and more. Fit very easy and I highly highly give them top rating. Get all four if you have this car and you wont be sorry. 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Almost a five-star review... Written By Don, State College, PA on Friday, July 10, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I recently purchased a 2009 Ford Ranger and two pairs of these speakers for front/rear installation. All documentation from Crutchfield indicated that these speakers would fit stock in both locations, however, they did not fit the rear stock location. I had to pay a local car audio shop to modify the rear location another sixty bucks to cut the heck out of my new vehicle. I was able to install the rear speakers along with the purchased baffles and these speakers did not sound anything near the same front installed speakers. Very "tinty" and almost no bass response. Removed the baffles and there was an improvement, but not as "punchy" as the front installs. I suspect it's a space/air flow thing... I am running the original factory installed head unit. I am about to replace with an Alpine I have my eyes on and I'm sure will have an improvement to the rear speakers. Overall, I'm very pleased with these speakers, but just a little disappointed that I had to pay extra to have the rear stock locations modified. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Sound From A Small Speaker! Written By Greg, MArietta, OH on Saturday, May 16, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought 2 pair of these speakers for an 08 Ford Escape. I put them in before the new head unit and they made me wonder if I wanted to replace the head unit. The factory radio sound great after the speaker upgrade. You will need to mount an external crossover box with these speakers, comes with speakers, I just used two sided tape from 3M on my install. As good as these speakers sounded with the factory radio, they became really impressive with the new head unit (Pioneer DEH-510UB). The clarity and the bass these speakers deliver are really amazing for something as small as a 5X7. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Awesome For the Price Written By Katrina, Orange County, CA on Sunday, March 01, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought these for a 2008 Mazda CX-9, put set in both the front & rear doors. WOW! these brought the factory stereo to Life, these very punchy speakers so take into condieration, your doors may rattle if you have anything loose in the door pockets. These are well worth the price. I heard the Infinity's but these just offered quit a bit more low end and the highs seemed a little sharper too. The Mazda CX-9 install is tricky but if you have some skills you get these in no problems. 19 out of 21 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Only Natural Pet All Smiles Oral Care Spray is an herbal dental spray for pets to remove tartar and prevent plaque buildup on the teeth. Just one treatment a day will help keep your pet's teeth clean and prevent the accumulation of too much unhealthy bacteria, which can lead to poor gum health and ultimately other health issues. Featuring a formulated blend of Peppermint Leaf (Mentha piperita), Wild Indigo Root (Baptisia tinctoria), Echinacea Angustifolia Root (Echinacea angustifolia), and Spilanthes Plant (Spilanthes oleracea) to help combat bad breath and plaque build, this is an easy to administer spray that you and your pets will love.
Do dogs and cats need dental care? Yes, dental hygiene is one of the most important aspects of pet care. As plaque and tartar accumulate on the teeth, the balance of healthy bacteria versus unhealthy bacteria in the mouth is thrown off and the opportunity for disease arises. As the tartar builds up under the gums they become inflamed and sore. Slowly the gums begin to separate from the teeth and recede. Plaque builds even more rapidly in the upper, softer part of the teeth and infection begins. In cats, cavities develop with even more opportunity for infection. Dogs are less prone to cavities, but still need to be cautions about gum disease. The bacteria and toxins from an unhealthy mouth are absorbed into the bloodstream where they circulate and begin to build in kidney, liver, and heart tissue. Poor gum health is especially closely correlated to potential heart problems. The toxins released can even affect brain tissue, and the inflammatory process involved can aggravate deteriorating joints.
So the lesson is: plaque builds up on your dog's or cat's teeth every day, so a simple treatment with All Smiles Oral Care Spray will go a long way towards ensuring clean teeth, a healthy mouth, and overall good health!
Only Natural Pet All Smiles Oral Care Dental Spray is a pure herbal extract with NO artificial colors or preservatives. May contain sediment.
Each 1 oz. bottle contains approximately 240 sprays. Each 2 oz. bottle contains approximately 450 sprays.

Looking good...
By Emmie and Tink
from Arizona
Easy to use - I just open their yaps and spray 2 shots on their tounge before bed. We are very busy people and I just can't do this in the am. With only once per day - I still see a good result on my older dog (6 yrs. - some tarter on teeth but with a marked result in the 1st month - we are in our 2nd month now) and keeps the younger one nice and white. They do duck their heads.. but know that it is coming anyway and they do hate the taste - but this is so much better for them then the other stuff out there on the market.

Doesn't Contain Alcohol
By Otto
from Ronan, MT
I bought this product to use on my two dogs. I usually brush their teeth or use dental pads. This product is very easy to use, and I like the fact that it does not contain alcohol like the other dental sprays. It does need to be refrigerated however, and some dogs may not like the cold sensation.

By otto
I use this intermittently on my two dogs as an alternative to daily brushing. It seems to work and they don't mind the spray. I like the fact that it does not contain any alcohol, but because of this it does need refrigeration, and some dogs may be sensitive to cold.

Oh boy...
By Swirly
from New York
I was hoping that the chicken flavor in this would make it more appealing to my cat, but she hates it; more so than another spray I'm using on her for plaque/tartar.The glycerin in this makes it smell like rubbing alcohol.
No Alcohol, Easy to Use
I like this product as it is alcohol-free, unlike the other dental sprays. Because of this is needs to be refrigerated. My dogs don't mind the taste, but because it is cold this may heighten sensitivities in some pets. I use it intermittently along with pet toothpaste and it is easier than brushing and seems to be effective.
Pretty good
By Sarah
from TN
The only reason I gave this 4 paws was because it is such a chore for me to use on my cat. She HATES me messing with her mouth. But it's good.
clean and happy
By Het Afef
from Revere, MA
I had used other brand teeth cleaning sprays but this one seems to work better, it's only problem is catching my cats to use as well as brush teeth.Kitties don't like it.
