Good speakers

Bought these to drive off HU and was not happy. Decided to put in rear and put CDT coax in front and drive with Kenwood 4 ch. amp. Well once I drove them with amp I discovered why I did not like running off HU. They are power hungry and once I had enough power to them combined with CDT's in front they sound unreal! I have always liked JBL and continue to like them. Just make sure you drive these with amp and give them the juice they need. If you do this they will perform.

VS
Horrible

Have already replaced these speakers as they blew shortly after being installed. They were professionally installed and were not hooked up to too much power. I don't believe these speakers are not rated properly as far as the power they can handle.

I would recommend these speakers for 2 reasons. I bought them without ever hearing them and they are a JBL product pretty much the only speakers I would ever own. If only Yamaha would now make car stereos the world would be a better place lol.

April 17, 2013 JBL GTO638 vs polk audio dxi6500

I bought 2 pairs of these bad boys for my car. They sound awesome, great highs, enough of mids and you can get some low's but not too much. I have all 4 speakers hooked up to a 4 channel 1000 Watt amp at 125 rms for each channel. They are pretty loud when i set my volume at 15 when the radio can hold up to 50 on the radio. After 30 i get distortion. I'm really happy with my product and i do recommend these speakers and it will sound even sweeter with an amp. By the way i also own 2 pairs of the polk audio dxi6500 and i was disappointed how i spent more $$$ on them and they dont sound as good as these JBL. 2 tweeters went out on my polk audio's and i was stuck with only mids and horrible low's. they couldn't handle the power of the amp and it sounded lower than the JBL's.

recently bought these mated them to the same 5.25"'s and put them on a gto1004 from JBL... these sound (to me) better .. cleaner, deeper, all around than the 750$ focal's i was going to use. running them on 150W rms and they love it. for the money i couldn't ask for a better sounding speaker, keep up with the JBL 1224's i have running 1100 watts each! makes the BOSE system i had in my avalanche sound like childs play. thanks sonic for stocking a great product... huge jbl fan now

Old tundra speakers went out put these in to replace stock speakers and they are good. Just hard to screw in the stock housing and needs to be tight seal against the housing but not bad heard worse heard better.
