For Clear and crisp sound

Amazing sound quality clear and crisp. Installed in my Honda Civic 2017 front doors. Very loud n clear sound.

Solid choice in this size - would buy again.

Very happy with these speakers. Substantial magnet, sturdy basket, and the cone and surround seem to be very high quality. I've got probably 5 hours on them being driven by a factory head unit in a 2002 Saab, and have zero complaints about their output. In my application, they sound just a bit muddy in the low end but there are a million explanations for that - and most of them my specific installation. Mids and highs are clear and bright and in general they seem to be pretty efficient. I've had mixed results with JBL speakers over the past many years, but I'm very happy with these. I'd definitely buy them again.

Amazing sound quality for the price!

This review is for the GTO 609c 6.5” component set. I am amazed at the quality of sound these speakers make! I replaced a 5 year old set of Rockford Fosgate power 6.5” coaxial speakers with these in my 3rd Gen Honda CR-V(2010). I was actually pretty satisfied with the sound from the RF coaxials,but have been really wanting to try a component set for better sound. I am running one Punch P3 12” sub and the bass just really overpowered the mids and highs. I mounted the tweeters in the sail panels (surface mount) and put the crossovers inside the door panels. As other reviews have mentioned the tweeters are tiny! Don’t let that discourage you though..these things really sing! I am really impressed with the range of sound these speakers reproduce. I’m not putting a lot of bass to these due to having a subwoofer but they still have a nice midrange punch. These are also currently running only off my Pioneer head unit at approx 22W Rms. I plan to amplify these soon and I’m sure the sound will be even more amazing! Overall the quality and sound that these speakers make is fantastic at this price point. If you want a great sounding component set without breaking the bank..buy these already!! *Update to review!* Finally got around to installing amp on these and WOW! Not only do they get loud but the clarity and detail is amazing even at low to moderate volume. The amp is a JBL GX-A602 2 channel (60wx2 RMS) This is also a great little amp that puts out a good amount of power for running a component set and its small footprint makes mounting easy...another great JBL product!

Perfect

I bought these for rear doors to go with the GTO609C's. Installed components in front about a month ago, I like them more and more every time I turn my car on. Replaced factory rears with these. Sound is a great match for the fronts. Everthing just sound right through these. The adjustable angle on tweeter does a pretty good job of bringing soundstage up off floor. Would have preferred an eyeball pivot instead of fixed angle. I'm being very petty on this, it's just my preference on tweeter mounts. Sound quality is excellent with really good mid bass. I have them x-over 12db@60 hz. The tweeter x-over is actually a true 12db passive x-over. Quality stuff on a small circuit board screwed to backside of speaker. Well made JBL another quality product. I was extremely happy with the 609s which is why I came back for more. These are a perfect compliment to them. Excellent value. Do yourself a favor and put a 75x4 amp on these. Your not going to blow the windows out, but it will be clear, clean, punchy as hell and loud. Buy them you know you want to, you won't be disappointed.

do you want to know if its worth it?

so,...your wondering if these speakers are any good? right? I didn't do any research I just saw them and knew the quality to expect from JBL. I took me a lil over 1 1/2 to install 2 pairs. it sounds like if I have a sub woofer in the back and the sound is clear. enough said, now just buy them before the go up in price. you won't be disappointed.

Great midrange speakers to upgrade stock auto speakers

Installed these in a 2013 Mazda3. Put two 6.5" coaxials in the back doors and two 6.5" components in the front doors (w/new tweeters in the sail panel). These speakers probably aren't the absolute best money can buy, but they're pretty amazing midrange speakers and hard to beat for the price maybe other than the infinity kappa series. Huge improvement over my stock speakers. Added a picture of the inside of the crossover box in case anyone is interested in the contents. Used my existing stock wires, not wanting to rewire my whole car. Everything fit just fine with the right adaptor cables and 6x8" to 6.5" speaker adaptor mounts, though, I did have to bend the inside of my front door panel a tad to get the front speakers to fit without interfering as they're a little deeper than the stock ones. On the coaxial speakers, you can twist the tweeter in the center to aim it which is nice. Do yourself a favour and make sure you have all the wires and connectors you'll need before installation. Overall, great sounding speakers. Clear and punchy audio. Adding a 75X4 amp and DSP in the days to come.

Very nice sounding speakers

I bought these thinking they would be ok. After installing them, I was so surprised of the sound quality and major output these speakers provide!! I have them running off a a Rockford Fosgate 4 channel amp, 75x4 power. The midbass is very strong and the highs are clear and I notice sounds I never heard before. I do have them crossed over so I was not using these for bass notes, but I bet they would give out some nice bass as well. Very good speakers, I would definately buy them in the future again. The install was also very simple, they fit perfectly in the stock holes. I would purchase the speaker clips so you don't have to cut the factory wires.

JBL GTO609c

I paired these with a pioneer 9506 5 channel amp giving them 75 watt per channel RMS. These speakers Just sound amazing!!!

Great upgrade for 2010 Toyota 4Runner Dash Speakers

I have a Toyota 4Runner with a great premium JBL sound system, but one of the dash speakers was blown when I purchased the vehicle. I wanted to replace the stock with something a little higher quality and these were the perfect choice. It was slightly difficult to fit these into the stock location, but not impossible with a little modification of the speaker only. Only fitment issue is because the magnet on these is about 5 times larger than the magnet on the stock speakers. Great upgrade for 2010 Toyota 4Runner Dash Speakers. Sound quality is great and these would really shine with the addition of another amplifier.

Great sound, enclosure and amp are very important, good money spent.

It's less about the speakers and more about the enclosures with these. These handle the most RMS watts out of this line, they do need to be amped, and can be pushed easily further than the spec'd watts, but I'd let them break in a little If you're going to run more than 50w RMS. I built a divided box and am using these as a center channel in my Commander, and the difference is off the hook! The Jeep has about an acre of room inside and I had to fill the middle so I chose these because the cone is actually closer to the edge of the frame than any others I saw, which means deeper mids, almost mid-bass. I broke them in for about 2 days and then ran 'em loud with an amp pushing 75w x 4 @ 4 ohms and was shocked how deep these would bump when boxed right! It's made a world of difference...almost as much as when you drop a subwoofer in for the first time. And they're clear as bell, even with higher than spec'd watts. (Realistically probably 50w RMS is what they're running on). Too little power is the easiest way to grenade a speaker or crossover, so overpower a little and turn it down accordingly!
