JBL GTO 629 6.5" Inch (165 mm) 2-Way Hifi Car Speaker Set by Harman Kardon - 180 Watt Pro Sound JBL Car Speakers (pair)

Product Information

For a 6 1/2" speaker they have a nice mid bass and excelent highs (I set the button on the Tweeter to flat). Featuring a tweeter and a passive crossover, the JBL GTO629 ensures that sound is properly balanced and delivered to the listener.

JBL GTO Series high-fidelity speakers are the ideal upgrade for any auto or audio enthusiast who’s looking to transform the driving experience. As a result, the low-frequency response is improved, and it takes less effort to generate those crucial musical notes that larger speaker sizes are frequently associated with. For the best sound comparison, we recommend selecting your brand and model of headphones in the right-hand column, or if your headphones aren't listed, you can rent one of our Listening Kits.

The tweeter for the system uses high-energy neodymium magnet and an edge dome design with ferrofluid cooling for improved power handling and reliability. Thanks to cleverly-designed steel mounting adaptor rings, the GTO629 coaxials can be mounted in a variety of hole sizes from six to 6. The three ohm voice coils allow the speaker to operate at an efficient 4 ohms once they are being powered, allowing them to utilize every watt of power your head-unit or 4ohm stable amplifier can produce. Regular readers of my test reports know I prefer to audition new products in my listening room instead of in a car.

Get the most out of your speakers with simple peel-and-stick speaker baffles, sound damping, roller, and a panel removal kit to make installation a breeze! I also notice a level padding resistor on the tweeter, so there has definitely been some careful tuning going on. The GTO 629’s Plus One carbon-injected cones provide more overall speaker-cone area than other cones in its class. They are designed with a carbon-injected cone material to accurately reproduce music the way the artist originally intended. Thanks in part to careful tuning and the three ohm impedance, the GTO629 certainly accomplishes that goal.The 3-ohm impedance design ensures compatibility with many car amplifiers, maximizing efficiency and output.

The GTO629 features a cone woofer constructed from carbon-injected Plus One material, which increases cone area and enhances bass output without sacrificing sound clarity. The GTO 629 speakers include an additional set of mounting adapter rings to allow the speakers to fit securely in a broad range of factory speaker openings that match this size. In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power.

JBL has been building high-quality good-sounding speakers for a very long time and the GTO629's follow in that tradition. The ability to use a smaller area is an advantage of this design, which explains its appeal in automobile audio.

In automobiles, coaxial speakers are two- or three-way loudspeakers with the tweeter, or the tweeter and a mid-range driver, mounted in front of the woofer, partially obscuring it. This is something I have noticed in the past with JBL loudspeakers; and, in fairness, I know that every JBL speaker system undergoes extensive listening by very experienced engineers and I have no doubt the “polite” top end of the GTO629 is exactly as the engineers have intended. These JBLs offer slightly lower impedance than standard car speakers, so they'll safely draw a little more power from your car stereo, yielding big volume even with low-powered factory radios. High sensitivity allows a wide range of power to provide great sound without overdriving the audio system. Keeping the voice coil cool adds to increased reliability from greater power handling and helps eliminate power compression that can distort the speakers’ sound.
