Just completed my install on my rear deck today! The gto 939 6 x 9 powered by my Alpine X-A70F was phenomenal! Your video gave birth to my inspiration! Going to replace my memphis reference 6 x 9s in my front doors with the gto 329 6.5 components as soon as Amazon sends them to me! Thanks a million dude! SQL 👍🏿
DDDUUUDDDEEE!! That's awesome to hear! I'm glad that I was able to help! I finally got the GTO Tweeters that are going to replace my factory ones! That video should be coming out soon!
GTO19T. JBL doesn't make these anymore so if you buy them off of Amazon they will more than likely be refurbished but you might be able to find a website that will sell them brand new. That's what I had to do.
Wanted to let you know I used the GTO939 speakers in my 2010 Tacoma having never heard them before because of this video. They deliver healthy bass and I love the rich quality of the sound. Thank you!!!!
I was planning to upgrade my stereo, but thanks to this video I no longer need an amplifier or any of that work, with these speakers is more than enough Thanks for the info.
@@JUANCRAMIREZ19 yup. The website he provided has a car selector. Once you select make and model. It compiles all the products they offer for the vehicle of choice.
Replace those standalone tweeters, throw some sound deadening/insulation on the entire door panel and use some audio rings around the JBL speakers and it will sound twice as good as it does now....and all for cheap.
Just to give a little extra insight... You may have noticed the speaker brackets have a small hole in the top. That hole is for running the adapter harnesses through to the speaker. This helps avoid things such as cutting the weather barrier plastic.
@@Meeks3 Another reason for running the wires on the outside of the door frame, is so that when the window goes up and down, the speaker wire doesn't get pulled or cut ; )
Good video, I'm not sure if you looked into somethings already but I'd like to offer some tips. There are some slots/holes on the top of the speaker mounting brackets, that's where the connectors are suppose to pass through as to keep the plugs from not being put inside the door skin. On the rear door, I'm not sure if you ended up breaking of the longer tabs. these brackets are made for a wide variety of cars so they make them with different mounting tabs. Just take some pliers and bend the ones not used to break them off. Speakers can be sensitive, especially with the vibrations they produce. Some times any small tweak on the frame from an improper install or mount can put enough of a kink on the voice coil to cause it to short its self out from with in the voice coil. I hope you continue to enjoy the sound, JBL's, along with Infinity have always been underrated. I think Harmon makes a great product with these speakers and I always get excited when someone discovers how great they sound. Personally I like the Infinity Kappa's which are the Infinity version of the GTO's, they sound like you put subwoofers in your doors, you should amplify them and surprise yourself with how amazing they get with more power!
I installed my GTO 939 in my 2000 F150. I cut the holes out larger to accommodate them. I also put JBL Club 9632 in the rear doors. Also cut out the holes larger for fit. Sounds incredible. Awesome bass for door speakers. Powered by Rockville DB55 amp.
I’ve been racking my brain for the last 2 days with countless videos of deciding between the alpine Type S , and out of a big series videos liked the Jbl club 622 , but there so old now it would take all month to come , so I switched over to the club 6520 but I just don’t trust it feels like a newer model which in these days is probably less quality. But after Hearing Yours , I think ima go with the GTOs they’ve gotten nothing but good reviews, and honestly this is just for my work van 😂😂😂 with currently Busted out speakers so I’m definitely getting an upgrade either way, but hole these work good will probably do a bigger setup with amp in the truck
Those are REAL JBL’s brotha I got all 3 of my nephews on them!…I have the GTO 609’s in my doors and GTO 6.5’s in the rear door on my ‘10 Buick Lacrosse CXL…and they bump off of a factory amp
Just got 2 pairs of the GTO629 for the front and back and having them installed tonight. Hope they get me as excited as your were. Great video content also. Keep up the good work.
These speakers are amazing! Let me know how you like them. Make sure that you press that button on the speakers to get more tweeter volume if you like. Also, did you get 1 pair of the 6.5inch speakers and 1 pair of the 6x9's?
Definitely appreciate this video. I am wanting to upgrade my car speakers and not have to put in a sub. Makes me feel better about not putting one in. And I plan on getting a ford ranger soon and I know all 4 of those speakers are 6x9. Which makes me feel even better cus I know I can make my sytem in that sound nice which out buying a sub as well
Jusf a heads up toss the name and year of your truck somehere in the video. You have no idea how many people look up by there car and not by the speaker. Great video! Also did you end up tossing a amp to power those speakers?
@@Meeks3 okay thank you! I have been tossing up upgrading my tundra door speakers . I have been eyeing the JBL's and going to throw a small 200 watt amp behind them .
Thank you MeekMan, your video is much appreciated! It appears that the tweeters on the 6x9s are angled downward, what are your thoughts on installing them opposite of what you did, so that the tweeters are angled upward?
on the fence between JBL and Kicker ....very hard call but i am going with JBL 6.5 components in the doors and a Kicker 12 inch sub. I am often drawn to the same mfg of speakers but your vid helped.
DO NOT HOOK UP THE WIRES LIKE THIS !!!!!!! You could cut the wires when using your windows. There is a cutout in the speaker adapters to run your wires to hold them away from the windows.
Infinity makes almost the exact same speaker there all licenced through Harmon I think is the name and man they are really good for the money especially when compared to a bunch of companies I'm about to pull a set of Kenwood for these
If you want the high frequencies to soften how should you turn the twitter? I like warm/soft mids and highs.Cannot tolerate shriil/harsh highs (like my focals that is garbage).I read that the adjustment is only to brighten up the highs (0 to +3db).
Is that the standard factory head unit? Or is it an upgraded factory unit with an amplifier? I'm looking to put JBL's in my 2022 Palisade to bring it to life. Looking for some recommendations. I'm going to use the factory head unit and I just have the basic standard sound system. Open the JBL's will breathe some life into it.
2:33 - JBL GTO 629 6-1/2 ... I was thinking of getting these to replace my front car door speakers that blew out on me.I have a 2009 Toyota Corolla, Would this produce a decent sound without an amp installed? I listen mostly to Hiphop and R&B music and would these speakers be good for that type of music that use a lot of bass.
These blow my factory speakers out the water! Though I don't have an external amp for my door speakers these still KNOCK! If you have an external amp to power these you would definitely find yourself getting alot more bass out of them. They definitely don't compare to having a Sub but, I really like the bass these produce.
@@Meeks3 Thank you for responding!! I'll go ahead and order these speakers off of amazon. I'm also getting a new stereo system too. I'm really illiterate when it comes to car speakers amps etc so thank you!
Yeah I feel yah. Whenever it comes to showcasing sound in a video the mic can't do an in person experience justice. But I do gotta say these speakers definitely bang. The music and sound quality wasn't edited in. 😁
@@Meeks3 I payed to get it done Bcs I don’t have much time but they just tapped into the speakers from the factory amp harness for sound out. Rcas for sound in & ofc power & ground for the new amp. Had to remove my seat so I can mount it under. Definitely could’ve done it myself but my wife is needy and doesn’t let me work in peace.
Do you have an amp to those 6x9 and 6.5? I got both and mine do not sound like that. Still have factory radio in , installing keenwood dmx 9706s tomorrow. Maybe my wires are wrong
Great question! Thats the downfall of not making a cut out for the speaker is not being able to access that. So I just pressed all mine on and left it.
You can definitely run an external amp to get more out of the speakers but I find that the stock amp in the head unit is plenty to get these speakers bumpin.
I bought them for my 2012 sonata component up front coaxil on rear....curious to how it will sound...car come with a factory jbl amp so hmm.. Prolly won't get them till next week just ordered this morning.
You would actually be surprised what a stock head unit can put out. I do agee that the speakers do have more in them, but until I add an amp this will do. 😁
What i would do is Google your vehicles make and model and include speaker size in the search. There should be alot of info/forms that should point you in the right direction.
When I did my install I bought my metra products from Amazon. I basically used metraonline.com to find out what I needed then found the products on Amazon.
I just got my 939s today I'm not impressed my stocks sound more clear with more bass and im running off a boss head unit with 20 rms am I doing something wrong
