Thanks for doing a comparison. "Better" is subjective. What were you looking to hear that you didn't? If you're running them off of the stock radio without adding an amplifier - I could see how they could be judged as not being worth the cost and effort. Especially reading about how the stock system has its own equalization & rear limited frequency range. If in the future you choose to add an amplifier, that's when you'd definitely hear what they offer over stock.

I've used Polk Audio components in cars since 1993 (30 years), and I look forward to putting them in my '24 Maverick that's on order which I'll still be waiting for for quite some time.
Since writing this, I got my Mav and installed the audio system which uses the db402 in the rear. I've had outstanding results from them, but then again, I'm running them off an amplifier and they're handling rear fill at a lower volume than the fronts. Also took the time to seal all the gaps around them during the installation. For more info, see my build thread in my signature. Or, see just the rear speaker install here.
