My polk db6501's sound good with the stock head unit, but not great. I spoke to several car audio shops in the area and they all said the same things; RMS rating of the components should be matched as closely as possible by the head unit/ amp; too little power WILL damage the speakers over time, not to mention you won't ever hear their potential; rear speakers are for fill and most SQ cars have stock or none at all; quality of the amp matters big time. I just decided to change mine,(fronts), I'm going with Eclipse SC6500's powered by a Cadence M2000 amp, ( amp's don't get much better than this, and on their website it is only $119!!! about $600 OFF thier original price!). Those Polk's are pretty serious and SHOULD be powered with about 100RMS watts.
