JBL GTO609C 270 Watts 6-1/2" Premium Car Audio Component Stereo Speaker System with Patented Plus One Woofer-Cone Technology

I initially tried to get hold of a certain set of discontinued Pioneer coaxial speakers, but to no avail. These were next on my list. I've installed a huge number of speakers into my cars over the years, but these JBL's are by far the strangest I've ever fitted. I'd read the other reviews regarding "break in" time and was prepared to have to bed them in. What I wasn't prepared for were quite possibly the most ragged and harsh out of the box sound ever for speakers around this price range. I was shocked at how bad they were. Dull mids, almost no bass and tweeters as shrill as a baby screaming through a loudhaler. They look and feel well made and have about every type of fitting you'll ever need in the box. I'm about three weeks in now and I've slowly been talking up the volume and tweaking the frequency inputs. They now sound astonishingly good. I mean, really good. It's like they refused to wake up until they'd been teased a little first. Bass is good for the size. Don't expect more than a decent high range punch. Mids are clean and energetic. The highs are much less shrill now and reproduce beautifully. The crossovers have a tweeter "boost" but you'll only need that if they're away from your ears a fair bit. If you are patient, these are worth the wait, I promise.

I bought these as an addition to a high end JL audio system in my Vectra C. After reading some reviews after making the purchase i wasnt expecting great things and initially when trying them out i was dissapointed for minutes only. But then after tuning things in and running them for almost an hour they slowly came to life. They sound awesome. They are coupled up to an amp but my oh my they sound good. Very pleased 😀

Amazing improvement to any OEM system. Very easy to install lots of different backplates etc. Suitable for DIY installation. Once broken in, and with a decent amount of power, they will sing. Used these for >5yr in current car, and in previous car, and still work perfectly. Add a 12 or 15 sub for completeness.

Amazing sound quality from jbl and the covers are a nice finish as with any new speakers they need to bed in a little bit but once they have they sound really nice good bass for a mid range speaker and crystal clear tweeters

I like the warm sound of these speakers. The build quality of the crossover casing could be better and would have preferred the tweeters to sit more flush, but I am still happy with my purchase. Not sure of the bass levels on their own, but have them in a box with a bass port and this has plenty of bass for me.

Worthwhile upgrade to stock speakers in a 2019 Mercedes Sprinter. I am delighted with the end results. Power and depth that was not there before. Good work JBL.

Great value for money..sounds amazing

Not anything great. Tbh dissapionted after reading the reviews on here. Plays like good £50 speakers not good for £120. Treble sounds harsh too. Have it powered to a jbl amp too. Also my right speaker sounds blown on loud volume, left is fine. All setup correctly. Maybe I got a dodgy speaker and was unlucky, but not too impressed with the sound quality. Wasn't expected them to sound like my ruarks at home but still better than this.

Good

Buena calidad de audio, los recomiendo totalmente

Super sons manque encore un peu de bass donc a compléter par un caisson

Installed them with a pioneer 4 channel amp and these speaker start to shine. These speakers can handle power, and a 92dB sensitivity allows the headunit to send all it has to them. However if you want them to really shine, give them some amplifier power (doesn't need to be expensive) and you will hear and feel the difference. Clarity and mid bass is improved dramatically.

I put these in my Mercedes ML 320 and wow they sound amazing
