JBL GTO1014D

I love my jbl speaker great bass nice punch

I purchased two Jbl speakers because my car lacked the full bass response I wanted. I mounted them in a ported box and now my sound is fabulous great strong base and ice punch you can feel the music using a cerwin vega Vbass amp makes the system sound awesome.

good bang for the buck

I got a pair of these during there black Friday sale and they do there job I have mine in single sealed boxes inside of a single cab 06 f150.thinking about trying some ported box's to see what can really do.

Need a little break-in time...

Ended up using 3 in a 2.2 cuft box ported to 30 hz. Easily pulling 140+ SPL on GTO1001EZ at 2.67 ohms.

High sensitivity allows this. Very light and responsive cone. Can hear distortion on them (after break in).

Had to run hard a few days before they let go of that hard 'slapping' sound - typical of new stiff materials.

Durability remains to be seen, however - have not smelled any hot adhesives or ozone yet!

Clean, transparent sub

I just picked one up yesterday, and I have 800w @ 2ohm (maybe 75% efficiency) going to the single sub. It\'s taking it no problem. It\'s so smooth, hits the notes fast and clean and blends extremely well with the front soundstage. I will play with it a little more before deciding if it can handle the current I have daily, but so far I\'m pretty impressed with the SQ.

ok

he sound clarity is way better than my last. I am sending around 80 Watts at 8 Ohms to it, due to having dual voice coils. Sounds good and hits hard

Great sub!! Worth The Small Cost

This is a great sub. The sound clarity is way better than my last. I am sending around 80 Watts at 8 Ohms to it, due to having dual voice coils. Sounds good and hits hard. Going to buy a second and wire them up at 2 Ohms.

Good sub!

I looked for months to find a sub to pair with my NVX JAD900.5 so I bought the JBL sealed box combo! On paper it looked like the best sub in it's price range... My 16 yr old fell in love with it so he has it now and is thinking of 2 more to go with a NVX JAD1200.1! This is the best JBL sub ever! Thanks Sonic for the great product at a wonderful price!!!

Sound great, albeit inefficient

They sound great, but aren't very efficient. Very stiff cone, may loosen over time. I don't believe the 92dB claim. Make sure you drive them with a monster amp to get some volume out of them. My recommendation is to spend a little extra cash to get the JBL paper/kevlar-coned pro series. A lighter cone may be more efficient.

...

I bought one of these on eBay brand new. It was defective. One of the voice coils was toast and threw my amp into protect mode. Other than that, this is one of the most impressive looking subwoofers I've ever seen. It's very beefy and makes the heavy duty Infinity reference 1060 look like a woman's sub.

Kawabunga Dude!

I really like this sub. It met all my requirements for my small cabin vehicle. I would not recommended this sub for a large car though, and it needs at least 250RMS powering it. If i get another i will buy this sub again, but this time will power 300+ RMS into it.
