JBL GTO609C Premium 6.5-Inch Component Speaker System This review is for the JBL GTO609C Premium 6.5-Inch Component Speaker System. I am amazed at the quality of sound these speakers make! I replaced a 5-year-old set of Rockford Fosgate Power 6.5” coaxial speakers with these in my 3rd Gen Honda CR-V(2010). I was actually pretty satisfied with the sound from the RF coaxials, but have been really wanting to try a component set for better sound. I am running one Punch P3 12” sub and the bass just really overpowered the mids and highs.
I mounted the tweeters in the sail panels (surface mount) and put the crossovers inside the door panels. As other reviews have mentioned the tweeters are tiny! Don’t let that discourage you though..these things really sing! I am really impressed with the range of sound these speakers reproduce. I’m not putting a lot of bass to these due to having a subwoofer but they still have a nice midrange punch. These are also currently running only off my Pioneer head unit at approx 22W RMS. I plan to amplify these soon and I’m sure the sound will be even more amazing! Overall the quality and sound that these speakers make are fantastic at this price point. If you want a great sounding component set without breaking the bank..buy these already!!*Update to review!*
Finally got around to installing amp on these and WOW! Not only do they get loud but the clarity and detail are amazing even at low to moderate volume. The amp is a JBL GX-A602 2 channel (60wx2 RMS) This is also a great little amp that puts out a good amount of power for running a component set and its small footprint makes mounting easy…another great JBL product!
