JBL GTO629 Premium 6.5-Inch Co-Axial Speaker - Set of 2

Hope they fit!!! Theses speakers are AMAZING!! I haven’t even installed them, and I’m impressed!!! This is the SAME company that makes Infinity 6.5” Infinity speakers?? I bought both of them, and the Infinity 6.5’s are going back! These GTO’s are HEAVY speakers! Thick baffleles, the surrounds that make the bass. The tweeters are large, rotate, fantastic! I’m SO sorry I bought the 6.5” Infinity speakers as well. HAVE to return them ASAP, cheap Chinese junk!!! The GTO baffles are thick and rigid, the Infinity baffles feel paper thin! The magnets are really heavy! I LOVE Focal speakers as well, but their tweeters don’t pivot like these do. These are awesome speakers! Just holding them, you KNOW you bought a quality speaker! I cannot wait to have these installed!! I’m so very impressed without even installing them yet! The quality is so evident! I’m sending the Infinity Reference Chinese junk speakers back, and ordering two more of these GTO’s!! And THATS how impressed I am with these 6.5” speakers!! I LOVE ALPINE, have a brand new ALPINE high-end head unit just installed but I honestly believe these speakers are better for the price than the ALPINE 6.5” speakers I originally was going to buy. That says a lot! I LOVE that you can pivot the tweeters exactly where you want them to be. Combined with ALPINE’s speaker time alignment feature in the HU, this is going to be fantastic!! I was amazed at how heavy these speakers are! Heavier than ALPINE’s, almost TWICE as heavy as Infinity 6.5” speakers, so upset I bought them! But you cannot tell on the internet 😔. Now I have to return them and buy two more JBL GTO 629’s. Oh well, I have 50% of my speakers. Cannot wait to hear this symphony in my Honda CRV!!! Even with the cheap stock Honda speakers, this new ALPINE HU sounds fantastic! I cannot imagine what it will sound like with all 4 JBl GTO’s!! I truly wanted the ALPINE 6.5” speakers, but they don’t have, in my opinion, better quality than these JBL GTO 629 speakers have, and this is from someone who spent $1,500.00+ in 1987 ($3,000.00+ today’s $$!) on a total ALPINE system for my first new car I bought When I was 18 y.o., I was SO PROUD of that car! If that doesn’t tell you how big a fan of an ALPINE I am, then nothing will! I honestly believe these JBL GTO’s are a little superior to the comparable ALPINE 6.5” speakers, and I’ve heard them both. It was so close! But the JBL’s are more sensitive per watt, and the quality of construction is a wee bit better. That’s from an ALPINE lifelong fan! I would NEVER BUY any HU (head unit), amp, or sub, but from ALPINE, PERIOD. But these speakers are AMAZING! And even though they are not ALPINE, for the money, I believe they are the best. That’s hard for me to say, but the truth. And I WANT the best for my money. ALPINE will ALWAYS be my brand of choice, but I didn’t want to buy their separate speaker package, as I will sell this car in a few years. Just put in a Wallmart radio, replace the Honda speakers, and sell it, no problem. Put in high-end ALPINE separate speakers? (Sub/mids/tweeters?) Problem I don’t want. You cannot go wrong with these JBL GTO 6.5” speakers!!

I bought some adapter rings and mounted these on an '07 electra glide. I have a cheap sony head unit with the little alpine ktp-445 amp. I have had aftermarket systems on 3 different electra glides over the last 10 years, hog tunes, j&m 7.25" rokkers, fosgate amps, etc. and this set-up beats them all. I've only got about 700 miles on them so far so I don't know how they will hold up in the long run. I had a set of polk db651s that the tweeter came unglued on once I guess from the vibration, they replaced them under warranty and the replacement set was ok. Anyway, I am running a stock harley 2 into 2 header that I sealed the cross-over pipe on to convert to a 2-1 header with a rinehart 3.5" muffler with no baffles. The sound is by far the best I've ever had at highway speeds. Since I use a usb flash drive with mp3s from various sources, the input quality isn't the greatest with some songs but the amp allows for this pretty well and the speakers can take what that little amp throws out pretty darn good. I want to stress that when running an amp (and on a harley you NEED to run an amp) you need to take some time and set the gain correctly, it's really simple to do, and it has to be done. Also, when you run an amp on a harley save yourself some trouble, simplify things, and splice the amp into the radio speaker output lines. If you are putting an aftermarket radio on, by all means find the correct adapter harness you need for the radio, but the amp, with a little care, is easiest just spliced into the wires that run from the radio to the speakers. Like I said, for the first time in 10 years I have a system that I am completely satisfied with and they actually give off some base that can be felt. the 7.25" rokkers never impressed me and they were about the best speakers I ever ran before these. UPDATE 11/11/20 - 2 Years, 7,000 Miles and still going strong. These speakers are as good or better than any Harley-Specific speakers You can buy. JD

Honestly I love JBL products. I have the boombox 710 in my home for when I have house parties and they sound amazing. So when I purchased these I was expecting similar quality for my car audio. I have to say they don’t suck but it depends on what you are looking for. These are excellent speakers if your looking for a speaker that does everything. It does it well. If you want speakers to replace your factory door speakers these are absolutely one of the better choices on the market. They hit hard and play voice and bass all in one speaker. That being said; if you are like me and looking for speakers to sound like a pro audio setup these are not the ones. If you want speakers just for voice because you have an amp and subwoofers in the back and external tweeters in the front I recommend the SkaR FSX65. These JBL GTO’s are all around speakers which handle bass and tweeters all in one. That for most people is all they need and want. Just know what your looking for. These make great replacements for your factory speakers and they play amazing at high and low volumes. No issues at all with these other than they weren’t what I was looking for.
