I live in England, so would have had to pay over double the price I actually paid for these from Sonic. Delivery was lightning-quick and since being installed they have given a truly impressive improvement over the original manufacturer speakers so I am completely delighted with my purchase.

I was a little concerned with the "in line" crossovers, but fear not, these speakers rock. I have 4 of these in an Isuzu Rodeo (after much modification) and they sound great. They're hooked up to an Alpine v-power 50x4 amp. The speakers are intense and everything is super crisp sounding. Make sure you set the crossovers on the amp to about 60hz or higher. Anything less and you'll lose a lot of volume and might get some distortion on the low tones. One last note, make sure when you plug the wire onto the speaker that you don't have to take it off again. It's a super tight fit.

I've had great experiences with JL Audio and this buy was based on that. I needed to upgrade the factory components to complete my system and saw the great pricing on these. JL is generally priced very high but these TR's are very competitive with the comparable market segment. I immediately was impressed with the sound quality. It's not too screechy and the midbass is subtle with an overall crisp clarity. I have these run at 80 watts RMS with the high pass crossover set at 80hz. I had these dialed down to about 65hz and was still able to handle the power while reproducing those lower bass notes. I would definitely recommend a full setup with subwoofer for these components to balance out everything. The inline tweeter high pass filter is very helpful in a clean install, no crossover box to hide away making it a pretty straight forward install. Again, JL has proven quality to me and this buy will definitely solidify my commitment to JL products.

For just a few dollars I was able to convert my wife\'s Tahoe to a far better sounding system than the stock speakers.

Crisp and clear, we even notice sound that we never heard before with the stock speakers!

I have a set of these in my car and wow the mids sound deep and the highs sound high. To take advantage of these speakers you really need an eq or a good deck. For the price, I really think they are worth every penny. I have owned alpine, kicker, pioneer, and these really impress me. These speakers come with cross overs built in the wires, I was skeptical about this but they sound great. I will positively buy more jl products becuase if these are the worst components they make, I really wanna hear their best.

I installed these in my '07 Tacoma with only minor modifications needed. I mounted the tweeters high on my A-pillars for better imaging than the stock locations. These speakers do an excellent job of reproducing mid-bass and highs. Backed up with a subwoofer, I now have a complete system that sounds great. And all this for only 110 bucks. When it's time to replace my tired ol' amp and "seasoned" subwoofer I'll be ordering from Sonic again for sure.

the best sounding 6 1/2's i owned no other 6 1/2 can match the sound

Review written by Christian from Lava Hot Springs, ID

These sound good. Mids could be better and highs could be higher (though I'd probably go deaf). These are JL's so you know the quality is there.

Next time I'd go for the XR's...but you can't beat the price on this.

I just installed these in the doors of a 96 blazer and they sound awsome even running off the deck power. coming from a set of mid-range 2-ways these are a great upgrade. The highs are clearer and the mid-bass is not distorted. The only dissapointment is that they come with a in-line filter instead of a crossover.

Review written by Sam from Chicago, IL

I picked these up from a friend and put them in my custom kick panels. They sounded alright when I was giving them the recommend RMS. All in all music was played back quite smooth. There was a lack of punch to the music. The woofers were not up to my standards, but still looking at the price it still is.

Review written by Mark from Dallas, TX

I'm a recording engineer with 30 years experience. I'm not picking speakers for "bling" or "boom" appeal. Checked out half a dozen different pairs in the $100/pr range, from 2-way to low-end components. 2-ways IMHO are terribly spongy in the bottom end, and tend to be overly bright (sometimes brittle) in the top end. But this JL TR650-CSi component was clear as a glass of spring water. The snare sounded like a snare (instead of a fish slapping a tin can) and the bass sounded round and full, without a sub-woofer. Harmon-mute trumpet was transparent without high-end artifacts. I'm getting two pair of these to replace the old factory gear in my Jeep Cherokee.
Can hardly wait to log some miles with Miles (Davis). :)
