JBL GTO939 GTO Series 6x9" 300W 3 Way Black Car Coaxial Audio Speakers Stereo

In short this is the best speaker I’ve ever heard. The bass is very similar to a subwoofer yet the vocals are not distorted. I was wanting a speaker that had good bass without buying a subwoofer since I drive a small car and a subwoofer would take up too much space. This delivered on the bass and then some. They fit perfectly into the stock spot in the back window. If you want good bass without a subwoofer this is it, I personally think this is probably as much bass as one can get without buying a subwoofer. I think the bass is more than enough unless you like extreme bass. While these are more expensive they are well worth it, recommended for sure.

So I have been leasing vehicles every two years for the last 20 years or so. I usually order the top of the line sound system. I suppose the manufacturers have focused on improving the bass response at the cost of mids and highs over the last few years to suit the changing tastes of their customers. It is to the point where the side view mirrors bounce when you're cranking - which is great - I dig jamming! My latest ride is a 2015 Ram 1500 without the excellent optional Alpine sound system which for whatever reason was unavailable. The stock sound is still quite good, and plays loud so I am guessing their is some power in the stock amp, Unfortunately, the bass just over powers all the other frequencies no matter how you set the equalizer. Since I lease, I don't want to throw a bunch of cash at the problem. The no-brainer move was to perform a simple speaker swap on the cheap. After reading reviews and checking specs I was looking for the biggest blow-out deal available and the $56 JBL GTO 938's from Amazon were the perfect ticket for the front doors. These are the top of the line 6x9 triaxial car speaker from JBL, but are one generation away from their newest offering (GTO 939), so they are heavily discounted. Note, many of the other "series 8" JBL's in other sizes are still available on their own website, so rest assured you're not getting chopped liver. The swap was simple and took about 2 hours with no glitches. I suggest using the speaker adapters from Metra, (72-6514 for me.) By the way, the factory speakers are lightweight coaxials with a paper domed tweeter. Also, YouTube is a great resource for installation. Anyway, these speakers clearly and cohesively balance and extend the mid's and high's. The depth, articulation and tightness of the bass also improved dramatically. Next up were the factory 3.5" dash speakers which are straight up lightweight single paper cone junk. I went with JL Audio C2-350x from Amazon and Metra connectors from Crutchfield. They were a little pricier than I expected, especially when adding the connectors, but the installation was so simple and fast I couldn't resist. The resulting sharper imaging increases immediacy while reducing the compression in the highs. So for about $130 I am now in same league as the Alpine equipped Ram. Next up is replacing the rear door 6x9's to improve bass cohesiveness. I noticed the stock front door speakers played much louder than the stock rear door speakers indicating a difference in supplied power. I am considering coaxial JBL 928's since I don't need anymore mid and high extension and they too are being blown-out. The beauty of the whole scheme is I can easily pull the speakers when I turn in my car and if I don't I'm out only $200. Well worth the investment! By the way, I have a diverse taste in music but mainly dig on guitar jams. Some of my favs include metal like Slayer, jam bands like Gov't Mule, classic rock like Van Halen and Skynyrd, Motown (cause I' from the "D"), Progressive Rock like Dream Theater, hot chick singers like Amy Whinehouse, jazz like Theonius Monk. There is plenty more but sorry, no Hip Hop or Rap. Also, I have been into home hi-fi gear for years and currently have about 10 grand invested in a constantly evolving home theater which I use to play concert DVD's and stream hi-res audio and video.

These sound a thousand times better than the stock speakers on my old truck. Clear sound and got some bass to them. Makes for perfect door speaker replacements.

i bought the JBL GX963 300W 6" X 9" 3-Way GX Series Coaxial Car Loudspeakers from amazon for around $90 and they were a big upgrade from the OEM in my 2015 Jeep Cherokee KL - but they delivered very little bass even playing with the levels. So I went for these for the back doors and they def deliver a noticeable amount of bass that will shake your car and you'll feel it in the seat. I would skip the GX963 and spend the extra money. I'm sending back the GX963 and getting another pair of these. That said, I def had to cut the plastic molding inside the door to make room for the extra width of these speakers. But it was really easy and each side was cut with a serrated shop knife in 2 minutes. Again, for my 2015 Jeep Cherokee. Make sure you get the little connectors to make the wire hook up a breeze. Also, if you're not brave about removing the liners and doing these yourself, it was really very easy. Theres tons of youtube videos. The liners had 3 small screws, popped off and popped back in. Total time to unmount, cut the molding, change the speaker, and remount the liner was 5 minutes each side - and that corrected 10 years of bad sound in my car.

Very Happy with the speaker. Installed in my FJ with the METRA bracket. On a stock Head unit without amp .

JEEPのファクトリースピーカーのリプレース用に入手しました。米国の6”×9”規格のものは国内メーカーは軒並み廃番となってしまい、同じJBLの日本発売のGTO939はフレームが大きすぎてリプレースできないということで、ネットの評判を見てこれを選びました。 湿気に強そうな樹脂製コーンと3ウェイの構成で、低音部が豊かで引き締まった音質になりました。

Ive installed these in my car & have my gains on the amp turned down They are paired with hertz 6.5 component speakers There has ben no issues with the hertz speakers but one jbl is completely blown and the other the voice coil is scratchy Ive had competition car stereo equipment in previous cars which were thrashed to death with no issues and these JBL speakers were never pushed hard Pretty disappointed

I attempted to install these into my 2002 Chrysler Sebring 4dr sedan last week and they didn't fit (the space in the door was not deep enough and it kept rubbing against my window when I tried to roll it down). I started a return process but was still determined to make it fit (even though amazon showed that it would fit in my car) and noticed that spacers were available. The spacers (1/2") arrived today and I attempted to fit these in one last time before I followed through with the return process. The spaces didn't work either. I took one look at the factory speakers that I removed and noticed that they had their own spacer (with foam sealer) glued on to them and I managed to remove them from the factory speakers by using a heat gun to heat up the glue. Once I had the factory spacers separated from the stock speakers, I then used the spacers I bought (Metra 1/2") on top of the factory spacers and with a few adjustments with the screw holes, I managed to fit these in perfectly and cancelled my return! The sound quality is phenomenal, these are leaps and bounds better than my factory speakers and sound almost exactly like my $3,000 home theater system (mind you, I also replaced the rear speakers in my car with JBL GTO 939s), and these all work in perfect harmony! I'm a big fan of bass and I also look for good mids too and these deliver on all fronts! I highly recommend these and suggest that if you think these may be too big for your doors (like they were for me at first), look in to aftermarket spacers/adapters before you write these off, you won't regret it!
