By JOHN SEEWERAssociated Press
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - A move to expand Medicaid in Ohio and give more low-income residents access to health care is on shaky ground.
But the debate over a key part of President Barack Obama's health care law is more than just about numbers.
Many of the thousands of people who stand to benefit are making just enough to stay above the poverty line. Most are adults who don't have children at home.
Columbus resident Carol Herbin no longer has health insurance after 2 of her jobs were downsized.
She now relies on organizations that give out medication to those who don't have insurance.
The state estimates that 366,000 Ohioans would be eligible for coverage beginning in 2014 by expanding Medicaid, but the idea is being met with resistance in the Ohio legislature.

I don't shop WM unless I absolutely have to. I don't like their business practices, and they treat their employees like absolute crap.
I also think you should go for it! I feel in a similar predicament, except I don't have 2 years worth of savings and even though DH makes enough to support us, I don't feel it is fair to ask him to do so since he did support us financially when I went back to school in 2006 to finish my bachelor's degree. I would like to get a Master's and then a PhD, which would take at least 5 years to complete (probably 6). I also work in a field that I was just thrown into at my job and make a decent salary but I feel that I could be doing more and could enjoy my work more if I was in a field of my choosing so I understand you desire to be in something you are passionate about. And you are right that companies are more willing to let someone go who doesn't have higher education, sometimes no matter how well you do at your job. They also are more apt to pay you less and use your lack of education as a reason even if you are a superior worker, which is craptastic IMO.
I am so bad as even though I don't like WM very much, I am happy they are profitable because I have a lot of their stock in my retirement accounts. They are a very reliable business and I usually invest in large reliable companies, even those I rarely frequent (like WM and McDonalds) because I like to see my retirement accounts grow. Luckily even with the downturn a few years ago, I didn't really lose much money. I think a couple thousand (based on overseas investments) but our domestic funds and stocks did well because I keep our money in big, reliable corporations.
I sometimes feel hypocritical about it though, because I don't really shop WM especially, I don't like how a majority of their items are from China (I won't get into my views on Chinese business practices but for me "made in China" is a label is just something that burns me up due to their business imperialism around the world - especially many African countries now and the fact that they try to wiggle around fair trade laws/agreements, but that would be a whole other NET). But I am making money off of them. One thing I am considering next year for my birthday resolution is to go through all my accounts and seek to move money to other companies that don't rely so much on Chinese manufacturing/goods, even though that will probably be nearly impossible.
You guys inspired me to really let macie help me make dinner last night. She loved it! I gave her a butter knife and she cut up a bunch of mushrooms for me. She just turned 3.
I don't agree with their business practices as a general rule though and buy local almost as often as I shop at WM (I loathe going into WM-the people that shop there annoy me).
ETA: I did not know they were not supportive of gay rights :( Than again, neither is the country as a whole, so I shouldn't be surprised :eyeroll:
I keep telling DH that I want to rebel against America and become a Canadian. He's not goign for it so far :laugh:
Just read that the Supreme Court upheld Obama's healthcare individual mandate. Saw it on a political forum I frequent. I figured they would due to the tax clause. A lot of people are POd!
Individual Mandate Upheld
I'm so happy too!
I remember watching a documentary on Walmart that talked about how the company changed after Sam Walton's son took over in the 90's... prior to that employees were treated really well and thanks to profit sharing and stock there were many people on minimum wage who retired wealthy. Once his son took over the company (after the dad passed away) he basically threw out any employee protections and began to push to import cheaper and cheaper products (prior to that the had a policy to keep as much as possible Made in the US).
He was/is really ruthless, even targeting mom & pop businesses to put them out of business (by selectively lowing prices and carrying cheaper versions of stock) then raising prices on the products they undercut once the business closed.
I'm happy too. I had thought that they would probably overturn it but hadn't paid much attention to the legality of it all.
I don't have a huge opinion on walmart. I will shop there but I don't do it often. I don't see much difference between them or target. Certain canned foods, I will go there and stock up on because it is cheaper than my grocery store. I have to say that our walmart is very clean, the people are nice and friendly and it's not an unpleasant experience.
I also shop Sam's club....we don't have a costco.
Though mostly if I am going to go for box store stuff, I like shopko.
We only have Menards in town (no home depot or lowes) but one thing I do like a lot about Menards is that they definitely feature made in the US products and try to make those stand out.
I'm happy they upheld, but honestly, the law is not the greatest and I believe the situation may get worse before it gets better. But this is just jumping off point, I believe, for reforms. It's drawn real attention to the healthcare problem in this country, and people are finally starting to really talk about and understand a situation that's been abyssmal for a long time. Say what you will about the administration; at least they did *something*.
I don't shop at WM either, but I don't judge those who do. Everybody has thier own pet causes, kwim? I can't join every crusade, and neither can you.
And Christina, I don't mean to ignore you...I'd love to explain it all, but I'm really, REALLY swamped at work. :sniffle: All hell is breaking lose here.
So, the big issue has basically been the individual mandate - whether congress can force you to buy health insurance. SCOTUS says yes they can if they force you by means of making you pay a tax if you do NOT buy it. What that boils down to is that effective 1.1.2014, you're going to either have to carry health insurance that meets a minimum standard, or you will owe the federal government a fine payable to the IRS.
*This has a big impact on my job, and it helps me understand it to distill it down for somebody else.
There are lots of other provisions to the act but that's the big one that was being decided today.
And now the Superpacs can go to town on mischaracterizing what the ACA actually does. I sure hope the Democrats get their act together and come up with a coherent message that an average person can actually understand.
Christina, the tax is only imposed on individuals that do not comply with the individual mandate, I believe. I personally do not see that this is any different from my state imposing an 'uninsured motorist fee' for people that fail to carry insurance on their cars.
So either I buy this healthcare they are offering (assuming I don't have health insurance, I don't have a job that offers it, and make too much money to qualify for other types of state aided insurance) or I pay a fine??
Not asking you specifically, just thinking "out loud"
Plus DH is uninsured right now (since like I said my Insurance at work is awful) so I guess I need to pay more attention than I thought :eyeroll:
What about someone who is unemployed but not even on unemployment? Dbf has no job aka no money to pay insurance, and I'm not sure what this means for him.
Healthcare is an interesting political discussion, though it can get complicated. I never thought much about it really in a political sense, but through researching the bill and looking up a history of healthcare in this country, I found out that we are already paying taxes (a portion of FICA) for medical care for others - our "public healthcare expenditures." Basically you are paying for Medicaid and Medicare already for the poor and elderly and some of the amounts left over from ER expenses when uninsured patients can't or don't pay. Most people also purchase policies themselves - private healthcare expenditures. So in this country we are required to pay for healthcare twice, which is why our healthcare costs are so much more than other countries with single payer systems (universal care, they only have the "public expenditure"). They only get taxed once and everyone's money pays for everyone else. One of the largest public expenses in our country's budget is Medicare/Medicaid payments and the taxes that we pay for those (and all of us can't even use them) is pretty significant. For instance, my family's health insurance is around $4000 a year for the plan we have. So my family pays the $4000 for that, plus co-pays/Rx costs out of pocket. A percentage of our income is also taken by the government, and the amount for public health expenditures is pretty much the same $4000 as our private plan, so we are paying $8000 a year for insurance. It is an interesting subject, but like I said complicated so won't go into it that much as it would take up too much space and time.
Lizzo - Presumably, your Dbf would then qualify for MediCaid under the Medicaid expansion, which is another part of the act. Medicaid is supposed to be expanded to anyone making <133% of the federal poverty level. The SCOTUS ruled that states can't be forced to expand Medicaid by losing their current federal entitlement if they refuse, but the govt can offer additional grants and funding conditional on the expansion of the program.
BTW, this is strictly my interpretation. Opinions expressed here are not the opinions of my employer blah blah in case anyone ever found out where I worked. Policies, you know...
I believe that part of the healthcare law is that the states have to put together health exchanges that pool people that aren't covered through employer insurance and such, and then offers them affordable rates through the power of numbers. There are exemptions for people that cannot afford it, and help for people that have trouble making the premiums. This simplifies it a bit:
The idea is to have people that can afford to buy insurance either buy it, or pay a penalty so that when they end up in the hospital and the rest of us have to pay for their care, they've already paid for that eventuality.

Cache - Inspection,
Fenn , H. E.,
July 16 - 29 . July 30, 1910.
District Forester ,
Ogden, Utah.
Dear Sir:
In accordance with your instructiona , I made
an inspection of the Cache National Forest during the
period pecified. My work involved a complete inspec-'
tion of the office records , which required a period of
three days. From July 19 to July 28 , inclusive , as thor-
ough a field inspection was made as time would permit .
Sunervi or ~mith ~oc o mp'tnied me throw~hout my trip over
the orest, ~nd we visited e~oh Ranger District .
I ~ very gl'i.d indeed to report that 1 found
the bu.,iness on the Ca.che ... ·orest in 'Jplendid shape . '!'he
office records are the best maintained t h~t it h'i.s been
my pleasure to inspeot since being conneoted with the
District Office. I found th t the Special Use records
were a little out of date . but all matters were pr operly
adjusted by Supervisor Smith before leaving the offioe for
the field inspeotion.

L. 1 . - - Ogden.
The ranee throughout the ,b'oreet wile 1n better
oondition than 1 hsd antioipated. It is only natural to expeot
this seaso n, owing to the lons period of drought. that
ranges whioh 1n ordinary years would be properly stocked, to
show some eVidence of hsrd use th1s year. 1 ith the exception
of Di.trict 10. 8 , however, the range tllotted to both cattle
~nd sheep will eu~port the number ot tock permitted. In tact,
both ~hee~ ~nd c~ttle will be ~b le to rem,in on the Forest
th1s y~~r t~rougho ut the regul~ grazing period. While the
stock w1 11 not le~v"! the Porest in '\~ good flesh as uou'l.l,
o,ine to t he dry wellther , whioh 11'1.'3 somewh"l.t 'lffeoted the feed,
th y should be in marketable condition.
I found the syste t, of 1ndi viduI!I.l ranee allotments
,orking splendidly. Individunl allotment boundaries are well
~sted with bound~y notioes, and the 9tockmen generally Ihow
a oommend~ble tendenoy toward reepecting the allotment linel.
This is largely due to the aotivity of the Ranger force . They
have mingled freely with the atookmen and impres8ed upon them
not only the neoe8sity of obeerving the Regul~tions, but also
of oarefully hUBb~nding the forage orop this yeST, in order
th~t tho stook will not h~ve to 10 ve the Forest bofore the
clo~e of the grQ1.ing period. The o ~tt le r'nge show8 the effect
of he~vy ~t o ck 1n6 ~erhqpe more th~n the sheep r~nge, but there
I'll no d"nger of in.lur;l ro ulting from the nre"enoe of the number
of c~ttle Ilnd horees permitted this yeqr .
While the e.rea8 allotted to shoep I~rszing will
8upport the number of stock now ~llotted th1s 8e'\lon, it is ~

Don't just take our word for it.
"Three years back we had a client requirement for developing an asset tracking solution that required data acquisition from different data sources. I was assigned the role of DBA. With no practical experience in database administration, I was clueless on how to proceed. Thanks to the guidance and support of Experts Exchange's vast talent pool, I was able to complete the data integration process in less than a week's time, which saved our company more than $2000 worth of man-hours and got me a promotion!"

Yes, it IS so, although most of us will agree it should not be so..but then, we really don't know the whole story, do we? Well, here's some of what we do know. We, as U.S. taxpayers are paying Brazil 147-million dollars each year, because of a disagreement over agriculture policy in this country. In case you ever wonder why our government, no matter the dominant political party of the time, carefully avoids dealing with the World Court, and other such extra-national organizations, take note of this Brazil story - - continuing now - - the World Trade Organization determined the U.S. cotton program is a violation of international trade agreements and authorized Brazil to levy tariffs worth more than 800 billion dollars annually against U.S. products, both agricultural and nonagricultural. Instead of the penalty, the U.S. agreed to pay Brazil 147 million dollars annually, while working to reform the cotton program during the 2013 Farm Bill negotiations. The last we heard, by way of Michigan Farm Bureau, is that with the government shutdown the U.S. quit making payments to Brazil. I guess we must assume that now that the shutdown has been reopened, we're paying again. But, we also know that Brazil is still not happy, because the Brazilian government is reportedly unsatisfied with the reforms made to the U.S. cotton program in the 2013 Farm Bill as it is now being considered in Washington.
Brazil, we are told, has several options at this point, including litigation, or trade sanctions against the U.S.
By now, maybe you're wondering how much cotton is produced in Michigan. More likely, you know very well, Michigan doesn't grow cotton - - so, why do we care whether Brazil is or is not happy? It's the aforementioned trade sanctions, friends. Michigan agricultural and nonagricultural products presently are traded to Brazil. I don't know the value of that particular trade issue, but I'm pretty sure it's significant.
Brazil is obviously planning well ahead of current events, as it is already objecting to the adjustments to the U.S. cotton program included in the proposed 2013 Farm Bill. For one thing, I think it's highly unlikely there'll be a 2013 Farm Bill - - although it may still be called that, even if it doesn't pass until after the end of this year.
There are a few things other than the Brazilian Conniption that could interfere. SNAP is one of them. The Senate version of the proposed Farm Bill cuts that program; The House version proposes to cut four times the Senate proposal. Somewhere out there still lies the proposal to set that program - - Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - SNAP - out of the Farm Bill entirely and give it stand-alone legislative stature. Even if the concept wins approval, you know there'll be a terrible fight between the House and Senate on the SNAP budget

Evening Reading: Pick Up the PaceMass Effect 2 continued its consumption of my gaming time over the weekend. I also sneaked in a little co-op Halo ODST. Both games left me thinking about the challenges in pacing a game experience. In the case of Mass Effect 2, after twenty plus hours of devouring the story I hit an awkward decision point. I could keep on that road and advance to what appears to be the end game (or at the very least close to it), or I could leave that whole pressing save the galaxy thing on hold while I fiddled around collecting and improving my crew and handling other random matters that crop up around the systems.
On the one hand, staying on course and moving forward maintains the pace that keeps the story engaging for me. To do so, though, felt like it would only lead to a hollow victory at best. For the designer, everything left in the game to give the player freedom also opens the window of unpredictability when if comes to how and when they'll arrive at critical path milestones. I arrived at this one in Mass Effect 2 well before I'd have liked to given the amount of support material still available. I needed, and in fact was craving, the next part by the time it arrived, though.
Halo ODST presented a different sort of pacing challenge. First, playing with a partner who'd already completed the missions it was easy to gloss by important moments. While a degree of this can be attributed to familiarity, there's also an argument to be made that those high points aren't that high if they don't really catch your attention after the first time. I mean, it's not like I put on Blade Runnner and then fast forward through the whole thing. The other pacing issue in ODST comes from a lack of being able to sense how I was progressing in the game. There's an intentional degree of obfuscation to simulate some of the disorientation the drop troopers would experience. Even allowing for that, there's a lack of time and place that throws off my understanding of how I'm participating in the events at any given moment.
The time for the following events was today and the place was, of course, Shacknews:
- New Diablo 3 screens showed up today

Men's adidas Football Shoes
Adizero 5-Star 3.0 Mid Cleats
Black/Running White (G98754)
Size Chart
+ Save To Wishlist
Rated 1 out of 5Â by 37TRAP Not Made for Lineman I was looking for a quality shoe to wear in practice and in games this season. I thought the Adizero would be that shoe. However, the overall quality to cost ratio is simply not there. There is now way these cleats would withstand 4 to 5 months of training, practice and games. The boot material is thin and not very protective. And the bottoms are not a rigid as I would have liked. The overall fit is narrow and tight fitting - not very true to size. A friend at the University of Michigan showed me his Adidas game cleats from last year - so much nicer and higher quality than what is available to us on the retail side. Theses cleats may look good but the quality is simply not there. Adidas - sell me what you sell to your college teams! July 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by BigBoyND Tough to break in, but great as always The only thing I disliked about these cleats was breaking them in, which is something you have to do for all cleats. Very supportive, collar is padded so I have not had any blisters thus far. Also they look even more sweet in person. Good job Adidas. Wish they made training shoes out of this material April 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Lighting fast Great purchase So happy with this purchase. I was a little skeptical of ordering online without trying on first but I went ahead anyways. Cleats are very light weight, comfortable and look really nice. I ordered size 11 and they fit a bit snug but I will keep them. June 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by quarterback16 question will you ever be able to customize these? just wondering, they look dope by the way! April 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by rizin great gift purchase Fast shipping, exactly what I wanted to buy a gift for a younger sibling. September 9, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Tony123 Don't buy them They are extremely narrow and wouldn't fit my foot. They are meant for a rb type of player not a lineman. Also I bought the black ones and they were black and dark gray August 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Cb21 Awesome The looks alone are amazing! When you put them on they feel amazing! U feel much faster and light in these cleats. So overall these cleats are amazing July 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by MAM Runs a bit small. My son loves the shoe but the fit is a bit snug when wearing with socks. I will be returning for a size larger. June 29, 2014

The Royal baby is coming, the Royal Baby is coming!
And I couldn't be happier!!
As a mom, I am always soo happy for new parents! There is nothing that can describe the love and joy when seeing that squished up baby face for the first time and this tiny little wriggly thing looks up at you. And with this being the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge? I am just thrilled!
I don't know why, I have always been fascinated with the Royals. It goes back to the Diana days, I grew up with a crush on William, which is something my husband just cannot understand. I don't have an explanation. The only thing I can think of is, the little girl inside of me who wants to be a Princess never died.
This is such an exciting time for new parents, the Duke and Duchess included. Just because they're Royals doesn't mean their not human. I hope they are able to enjoy every second of this experience, because the newborn days are gone in a blink of an eye. And, before you know it, you have a toddler running through your house trying to get at the stairs every chance she can!

The camera clearly loves her, and so do countless people across the country, who are praying for aspiring actress and model Chantel Gaicalone.The West Bloomfield High School graduate is in intensive care at a Las Vegas hospital after accidentally coming into contact with peanuts on February 20. According to Facebook posts from friends and family members, she went into shock and remains in a coma."To have that extensive a reaction is probably what we would classify as a severe anaphylactic-type of reaction, which would be a life threatening reaction," said Dr. Devang Doshi. "[It] is something we worry about with anybody that has allergies because that potential can be there anytime."Doshi is an allergist, who treats countless patients with similar severe allergies. He said more than 400 people in the United States die every year from food allergies.Gaicalone's family member and friends did not want to talk on camera, but we're told she was unknowingly exposed to peanuts after ordering ice cream."Food allergies are very, very serious, and people have bad outcomes with it. Accidents happen all the time," Doshi said. "People accidentally come into contact or eat something that they weren't supposed to."Friends say Gaicalone, who had been living in Los Angeles, does not have health insurance. She faces a long road to recovery. A fundraising effort is underway on Facebook to help pay for her medical expenses and bring her back to Michigan for treatment. Patients living with peanut allergies say this tragic case illustrates the potential danger they live with every day."To get someone else to understand the importance of it unless they've experience it themselves, it's kind of tricky," said Nicole Flatley.A fundraiser and live auction will be held at The Bosco in Ferndale on March 27 at 7:30 p.m. They're hoping to raise money to bring Gaicalone home. Tickets are $75 in advance and $100 at the door. For more information, visit www.onelovechantel.blogspot.com.

Where is Shantee Brown? The 39-year-old from Detroit is accused of raping a woman at gunpoint eight years ago.
The woman was walking to work at Brush and Euclid east of Woodward in 2004. Police say Brown kidnapped her and at gunpoint, forced her into an abandoned building and then raped her.
A DNA match linked Shantee Brown to the rape. He was arrested in May 2012. Locked up in the county jail, Brown was freed in July.
Circuit Court Judge Cynthia Gray Hathaway gave him a bond, just 10 percent of $250,000. Brown walked out of the county jail wearing an electronic tether. He was ordered to appear in court Thursday charged with rape, kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon and using a gun in a felony.
However, Brown was a no-show for his Thursday court appearance. That is because electronic data reveals Brown cut his tether off just before 2:00 a.m. the morning he was due in court.
Judge Hataway released the following statement.
"I am aware of Shantee Brown cutting his tether. The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office and the GPS Tether Unit are conducting a search. I am recommending urgent apprehension of Mr. Brown."
Why was Brown allowed a bond in the first place? That same question was raised when Judge Hathaway allowed a bond for Jason Gibson. Gibson, a convicted felon, was arrested with a firearm. He was given a bond and wound up shooting and killing Detroit Police Officer Brian Huff. Gibson is now spending life in prison.
So where is Shantee Brown? Detroit Police and the Wayne County Sheriff are also participating in this manhunt. If you have seen Brown, call 1-800-SPEAK-UP.

On Sep. 10, Romulus Police responded to a call on the 28000 block of Riverbridge on a home invasion. A 72-year-old woman says a man climbed a 6-foot gate then entered her home through an unlocked patio door after she let her dogs out. The man appeared to have been holding a black object in his hand that was approximately six to eight inches in length. The suspect ransacked the home, took some jewelry then proceeded to sexually assault the elderly woman, police say. When asked if she'll ever feel as safe as she did before this happened, she tells Fox 2's Andrea Isom, "I'm going to try my very best that he's not taken that away from me. Because my house, my dogs, that's what makes up the part of my life that makes me happy. And I can't let him take that away from me."The victim wanted to share her story to inspire others to be more vigilant to ensure this will never happen again. Click the video player above to hear her story. Police describe the suspect as a white male with a slender build, weighing 160 lbs. and approximately five feet nine inches tall. He was wearing a dark blue or black hoodie that zips up, a green shirt and dark colored pants. The victim believes he is in his twenties.Authorities are investigating this situation and say they collected several pieces of evidence from the interior and exterior of the victim's residence. If you know anything about this crime contact (734) 941-8400.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Polk Audio DXi571 by John Pollard 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. Enjoy your music even more Go ahead, circle the parking lot till your favorite song is over. Polk Audio's DXi Series speakers will make you want to hit "repeat" so you can hear it all over again. Polk uses a high-tech approach and ideal materials to give your tunes an exciting new edge. Precision woofers showcase your music The DXi571 speakers feature 5"x7" polymer composite cones that are lightweight and stiff, so they can create a big sound with minimal distortion. Polk analyzes their drivers in motion to ensure that cone movement is even and precise. Polk also uses laser imaging to craft woofer cones that are perfectly balanced to resist distortion-causing resonances. Aluminum dome tweeters broadcast detailed sound Each 3/4" aluminum dome tweeter brings out the high-frequency highlights in your music, so you'll hear every detail of your most enthralling musical moments. From an intensely quiet acoustic pluck to the most exhilarating electric solo, it'll be a very entertaining ride.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features High Efficiency Design: The Polk Audio DXi Series speakers feature a high efficiency design; meaning better sound and more volume using less power. Dynamic Balance Driver Technology: Dynamic Balance is a proprietary Polk Audio technology using laser imaging to determine what combination of speaker materials create the least amount of resonance. Eliminating resonance in speakers results in a wide, smooth response and low distortion. Klippel Optimized Components: For a driver to reproduce complex sounds accurately, the cone must move exactly the same distance and manner in both directions. The Klippel distortion analyzer, a device that uses a laser and sophisticated software to do large-scale analysis of drivers in motion, lets Polk optimize the speaker's motor structure, voice coil alignment, and suspension to yield the best possible performance. Composite Cones: Each speaker features a Dynamic Balance, Bi-Laminate composite, polypropylene cone woofer. These composite cones feature tremendous stiffness-to mass ratio, resulting in faster transients and finer detail. Rubber Surrounds: For a smoother response and improved durability, the speaker uses rubber surrounds. Aluminum Dome Tweeters: Each speaker features a 3/4" aluminum dome tweeter for clear, accurate highs.

I have a 2014 Ford Escape and put these in all 4 doors. My only issue was with Crutchfield, I didnt get door panel removal instructions and when I contacted them they said sorry it is too new...... but they didnt have them for a 2011 -2013 either, I instantly found them online so you would think Crutchfield would have them too. Pros: good sound decent price Cons: none Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Not bad Written By Edward, Center, Texas on Thursday, August 21, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy installation in my 98 Ford Ranger. Great upgrade. Sounds great and price isn't bad either Pros: Highs and mids are crisp. Cons: Lows aren't that great. Need a sub. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Baby's siinging a little sweeter now! Written By Sal, Long Island, NY on Wednesday, July 30, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Just installed a pair of Polk DXi571s in the back-of-the-seat location of my 2002 Ford Thunderbird. Nice compliment to a newly installed Pioneer AVH-X5600BHS head unit. Installation was fairly straight forward and made much easier with Crutchfield's Ford wiring harness adapter. Huge improvement over the factory speakers. Excellent midrange and highs. Very acceptable bass tones, especially from a rear forward facing speaker system. Very efficient speakers, and a lot of bang for the buck. Pros: Simple installation into existing factory speaker system mounts. Terrific performance of mid and high range tones, very respectable bass performance. Overall, an excellent replacement for factory stock speakers, without braking the bank. Cons: Nothing I've seen. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 2 out of 5 Polk Audio DXi571 Speakers Written By CQLink, Detroit on Wednesday, July 23, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Muddy" is the best word to describe the sound of these speakers. Before and after installing an Alpine KTP-445U Head Unit Power Pack these speakers sounded bad. Very disappointed. I've used Polk in numerous home theater applications and once in a truck stereo install. The Polks didn't sound good in the truck and I'm not sure why I thought they would sound any better in my car. Pass up even with a price drop. You can find better speakers in the $40-$50 range. Pros: None. Cons: Terrible bass response. Speakers sound dull and muddy. The clips Polk provides to mount the speakers into existing places in your door are worthless. Had to modify to install. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 polk audio 5x8 speaker Written By Ted, Glassport, Pa on Sunday, July 20, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) very good upgrade to stock speakers. took advice from salesperson to find these. Pros: easy install, exact fit, harness plugs fit perfect. only about 15 minutes per door to install Cons: none Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great upgrade Written By JoshW, Indiana on Friday, July 18, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These are some very good speakers. I replaced all 4 oem speakers in my ranger with these and I'm very pleased. The low bass is very respectable, but mid bass, like kick drums, sound awesome. I listen to rap all the way through to metal, and these shine on rock and metal. I think these will be very sufficient for rap once I put an amp on them. Absolutely no buyers remorse Pros: Double bass for days Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Upgrade for a 1994 F150 Written By Adam, Chesapeake, VA on Sunday, July 13, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Replaced a pair of blown MTX speakers in my 94 F150. It's a tight fit for just about any speaker, but I used a few washers to angle the magnet a bit for a better fit. Sound is great, very clear with a good midrange. Don't expect much in the low end department, but that's true with most speakers. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Speakers Written By John, Oklahoma on Friday, June 20, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sounds way better then stock. You can here evey thing more clear Pros: Cleaner clear sound Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 polk Written By indy018, la crosse wi on Sunday, June 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Was looking Fo a upgrade and read a lot of reviews. Finally chose the polk for front and rear and couldn't be happier. Sound great and a improvment over the shaker 500. Pros: Sound great and Crystal clear Cons: Had to cut some of the casing off to get them in a 06 mustang front and rear 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 A truly incredible improvement. ... Written By Anonymous, Fairbanks, Alaska on Friday, June 13, 2014 Wow, what an improvement, installation was extremely easy, especially with Crutchfield provided wiring adapters. Do yourself a favor and buy these, you won't believe what you will hear. I can't say enough about Crutchfield support, they will help you for car stereo needs. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Good Sound, Installation instructions could use some work! Written By Dan G., Carleton, Michigan on Friday, June 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The speakers sound great and are a significant improvement over factory installed. Installation instructions do not tell you the "gasket" is not to be used. The holes in the speakers DO NOT align with all 3 OEM installation holes. You will have to drill your own new one or two depending on your retention desire. For me, 2 lined up, 1 did not. I ended up using 4 holes to secure the speakers since I wanted to ensure there were no rattles. Pros: Great Sound Cons: Installation instructions insufficient. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Sound For The Money Written By momule, Rural Eastern Mo. on Friday, May 30, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) At this price point ($75) this is an excellent product. Perfect as a modest upgrade for OE speakers. In my Ranger I added sound insulation in the doors to prevent rattles in door when windows were open but that's a truck issue and not a fault of the speakers. I am driving 4 of these with a Blaupunkt Adelaide 130 Media Player and I am very pleased. It could use a sub for more "thump" but I am not needing that myself. Some report this speaker as being too bright but both the kind of music I enjoy and my 60 year old ears are happy with what I have. Pros: VERY good upgrade from factory equipment and a well made speaker. Polk makes good stuff. Cons: Could use a sub so that cone could be limited to what it really does very well: midrange. If you need to be thumped in the chest by your tunes either look elsewhere or add a sub Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Fantastic Speakers! Written By Jason, Aiea, HI on Saturday, May 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy installation in my 2007 Ford Explorer and great sound quality for the price. Can't beat Crutchfield support and shipping. Hands down the best. Pros: Price Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Speaker Upgrade 1999 Ford Explorer XLT Written By Jack K, Philadelphia, PA on Tuesday, April 29, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I had heard that the speaker upgrade to the sound system was the easiest place to start. There was nothing wrong with my stock speakers, but I changed out all 4. The sound quality is AMAZING! I listen to most of my music through the IPOD or IPHONE, but even when it is the radio it sounds great. It took about 90 minutes to do all 4 speakers. Well worth the time and the money. The instructions were straight forward and easy. On my next used vehicle purchase, I will use Crutchfield and upgrade the sound system ASAP, the quality is far superior to stock. Pros: Great Sound quality through all ranges, I wished I had done it sooner. Cons: NONE Was this review helpful?

Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Speakers are very respcetable Written By Noid 1037, Tulsa, OK on Monday, February 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased these speakers for a 2012 Ford F-150 XLT Supercrew. They were installed on the front doors. The factory passenger side speaker had stopped working-blown! They went right and no problems getting them installed. They sound better for sure than the Ford factory and I am likely going to replace the rear door speakers in the very near future! Pros: Easy connection, same size as the factory - no mods needed. Nice sound and nice look. Cons: not much Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Happy !!

No speaker grills but for the buck not a bad deal. Pros: price Cons: No speaker grills Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Polk Audio DXi571 Written By Anonymous, Powell, WY on Monday, December 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) To be honest, I did not like them at all to begin with as they were quieter and less bass than the stock unit. Figured out that the baffle was killing them, I was not aware that the baffle needed to be cut out. After reading some posts about them, I ended up removing the baffle and now they sound much, much better. Was hoping for a bit more bass, but great clarity, so overall, happy with them now. Pros: Very good clarity. Cons: Could have a little better bass. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 polk speakers Written By Anonymous, Cranston ri on Friday, September 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers sound way better than stock but they crack and distort a bit. I like it loud in my car and so far to keep the speakers from cracking I haven't been able to put them as loud as I'd like and I have to keep the bass at zero along with mid's and tremble. I have these in the rear of my mustang. Pros: Better than stock Cons: Crack and distort with any bass at all 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Great Sound Mid Level Speaker Written By B, South Florida on Saturday, August 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great sound for what I would consider a mid level speaker. Covers a wider range of sound than most speakers in the same price range. I bought 4 for all the doors and as of now have them hooked to a factory head unit and its already a noticeable step up. As soon as I get a new head unit I know they will be even more refined. Pros: Price, wide range of sound. Easy to install in factory openings. Cons: If you are looking for a high end speaker look at a different model but this is more than suitable for a mid level Or factory upgrade. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The fit was perfect front and rear. They have a decent amount of bass for their size. Unfortunately, the tweeters on these speakers are awful. My adviser did tell me they were bright, but that is not the appropriate description for these. They are extremely harsh and gave both my wife and myself headaches after listening to them. My ears physically hurt after just 10-15 minutes at a moderate volume. I strongly do not recommend these speakers unless you enjoy an extremely bright, irritating tweeter. Pros: Perfect fit. Decent bass. Cons: The harshest tweeters I have ever experienced. 4 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?
