Polk Audio DX6510 Amplifier Power Requirements, Safe Limits Of Operation, Specifications, dX5510

Amplifier Power Requirements

Your speakers will work well with a variety of electronic components. As little as 20 watts (RMS) per channel will deliver adequate listening levels in most cars. If you have a noisy car or intend to play your system at loud listening levels, more power is necessary to achieve the best performance. Consult your Polk Audio dealer for specific recommendations.

Safe Limits Of Operation

Your Polk loudspeakers are made with the highest quality materials for years of trouble-free performance. However, damage to loudspeakers can occur when an amplifier, regardless of its wattage, is made to play at higher listening levels than its power can cleanly produce (usually beyond the “2 to 3 o’clock” position on the volume control).

This results in very high levels of audible distortion, originating in the amplifier, which adds a harsh, gritty sound to the music. Contrary to popular belief, a speaker is more likely to be damaged by trying to get too much volume from a low-powered amp or receiver than from a high-powered one.

Technical Assistance Or Service

If, after following the hook-up directions, you experience difficulty, please double check all wire connections. Make sure that your electronic equipment is operating correctly by hooking up another speaker to the speaker output. For example, if you are not getting sound from the left channel speaker, connect the right channel speaker to the left output. If you still get no sound from that side, the problem is in your amp or source electronics. Should you isolate the problem to the speaker, contact the authorized Polk Audio dealer where you made your purchase. Authorized Polk Audio dealers are the best source for advice and assistance.

Call Polk Audio’s Customer Service Department at 1-800-377-7655 from 9am to 6pm, Eastern Time, Monday through Friday. Please do not hesitate to call us if you have questions about your speaker system.
