Celebrating JBL's 60th Anniversary, these GTi Special Edition Series speakers will certainly impress even the most critical audiophiles! Imagine a design, so precisely crafted that it produces only the best quality sound a component system could ever produce.
Using the latest in Laser and Infrared technology, these speakers were thoroughly tested, calibrated, and designed for optimal performance and longevity. JBL's method of design, test, and retesting ensures maximum performance and sets the standard of what is acceptable in the Competition world. In fact, JBL spends at least 100 hours of testing on each speaker at RMS power level to ensure consistent performance and acceptable JBL's high standards.
This competition-grade component speaker system is also designed with as little distortion allowed as possible, ensuring the best possible listening experience for the listener. In addition, your purchase will include two sets of grilles to suit your taste of either leather or carbon fiber!
- 5-1/4" GTi Series Special Edition 2-way Component Speakers System
- Power Handling:
- Peak: 1000 watts per set / 500 watts each side
- RMS: 250 watts per set / 125 watts each side
- Kevlar® cone woofer and dustcap
- NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) surround (also known as Nitrile Butylene)
- 2-1/4" High quality dome tweeters
- Cast aluminum basket frame: Ensures protection of sensitive internal components as well as providing structural integrity for the motor and moving assembly
- Nomex® Spider: Maintains linearity of motor movement
- Spider-Landing Vents: Greatly reduce distortion from any unwanted mechanical noise
- Copper Polepiece Cap: Not only will it provide additional linearity support, but it is also designed to reduce intermodulation distortion
- Polished and Flared Polepiece Vent: Maximizes air movement flowing in and out of the speaker, allowing for greater cooling, performance, and minimal distortion
- Vented Gap Cooling Ports: In conjunction with the Polepiece Vent, the design allows air to pass through the voice coil-- effectively cooling it while in operation
- Flux Stabilization Ring: Stabilizes static magnetic field, minimizing coil inductance when voice coil moves inward

- 35° Wide listening window (compared to 30° with other speakers)
- 4 ohms impedance
- 2" Premium quality aluminum edge-wound voice coil that virtually eliminates any distortion at the lowest frequencies and highest power handling
- Neodymium Magnet Structure: Optimizes performance thanks to its high flux density; also provides additional space for proper internal cooling due to its compact size
- Top-mount depth: 2-5/16"
- Authorized Internet Dealer
- 2-year Manufacturer's warranty
Priced Per Complete Component System: 2 midwoofers, 2 tweeters and 2 crossover networks.

Very good acoustics. In spite of the 13cm diameter of mid bass, gives a very clear, shaped bass. Excellent performance, very beautiful, if sensibly
installed. Excellent tweeters, I even wanted to use them at home conditions. Crossover want to put on the front panel of the car, so beautiful.
Very well-made functional.
Conclusion-expensive, but worth it Acoustics

JBL has always been known for their quality in design and engineering. These speakers are absolutely worth every penny! Once you hear them you will know where almost $600 of your hard earned money went.....Please be aware however that these components are for the serious music enthusiast/audiofile. They must be installed professionally and with the matched crossover unit. A respectable name brand amplifier matching the watts RMS is a must (it only does them justice). Lastly, if your headunit has a digital crossover, utilize it to the upmost and match the frequency response parameters. You won't regret it and you will appreciate the best sound you've ever heard. No other component speakers available have a watts peak as high as these other than the 6.5" of the same model from JBL.......handsdown the best of the best!
