Professional JBL Sound:

The JBL GTO series speakers are the perfect upgrade to your existing speakers. They are designed with a carbon-injected cone material to accurately reproduce music the way the artist originally intended. The three ohm voice coils allow the speaker to operate at an efficient 4 ohms once they are being powered, allowing them to utilize every watt of power your head-unit or 4ohm stable amplifier can produce. These speakers feature a vented magnet with a high thermal-capable voice coil which effectively dissipates heat, ensuring the longevity of your investment. The edge-driven speaker cones allow greater sound levels with the same amount of power. The wide frequency responses that these speakers provide will leave your ears very satisfied when you're listening to your favorite songs. If quality is your goal, the GTO series speakers by JBL have the technologies to make that happen.



The Sound of quality

Sonic Electronix, one of the leaders in car audio, recently visited Harman, the premium global audio and infotainment group, at their research and development locations in Northridge, California and Detroit, Michigan. The purpose of these visits was to utilize and combine the powerful brand of Harman and the industry leading knowledge behind Sonic Electronix to begin working together on developing future car audio projects.

Superior Sound Quality & Great Value!!!

For my needs... JBL speaks for itself!!! Fantastic sound, excellent punch and bottom for 4 x 6 1/2 composites powered by a West Coast Customs 1600.4 (same amp as MB Quartz).

awesome!

This setup is a beast. I have these matched with a Pioneer amp to just a touch above rated RMS. Talk about loud. I have the Rockford P3-12's with the Rockford 1200 amp bassin' it out. The highs and mids are clear and loud. One can still understand the lyrics and hear the symbols. Great product . I think my son is trying to kill them and just can't seem to pull it off.

Great sounds

I did a lot of research on these and they sound great

These got outperformed by my 6.5 sony coaxials I was upgrading from. The woofer handles midbass well. The tweeter was terrible and small. It matched the sensitivity but distorted at lower volumes than the 6.5 . The crossover didnt help and I even used a bass blocker which also didnt help. Since the tweeter was bad there was no other way to properly play upper mids and highs.

Great Deal

Currently have JBL Club speakers in other locations in my Jeep Wrangler. Found a great deal here on these GTO components. Excited to get them installed in the dash. Plan to connect everything to a JL Audio JD 400/4 amp from this website. Thanks for the help so far answering my questions.

Passive x over

They fit great, the x over fits perfectly under the factory door covering, as if it never was there. They sound great as well, even with the oem radio.
