JBL GTO608C Review by MDH (Vicksburg, MS USA)

I have to agree with another review I read about the instructions. They are only drawings and no words. Most people in the world who can afford to buy an elective item like this can read English.

It is not clear in these picture instructions which mounting ring to use for the woofer installation. (It is odd that both are stamped "Speaker this side" in English.) The tweeter has three mounting apparatus. None of which are packaged together and you have to figure it out.

Be sure to check the magnets on the woofers. Your bag of screws may be stuck to them like mine was.

I haven't listened to the system with the doors shut or on the road. I did turn the volume way up with the doors open and they were loud and pretty clear sounding. The stock speakers gave out months ago and these are better than stock speakers. I am using the stock Delco radio in a 2001 Silverado and no amps.

JBL GTO608C Review by eucasafari

I was putting these in a vehicle with pretty loud road/wind noise, where the woofers had to be mounted low in the door and tweeters much higher up in the door card. they perform extremely well. I am powering them with an old Soundstream amp rated at only 60 watts (but amps weren't artificially rated high back then) and it's perfect. they would probably sound good enough on just deck power if you have a really nice head unit with good power output, but they really shine when properly amplified. nice warm mid/kick drivers and the option to lower the volume of the tweeters is perfect. comes with all of the various adapters to mount both the drivers and tweeters in any location.

my favorite part though, is that the grills aren't some huge plastic silver junk that doesn't actually cover the woofer like most of them are these days. they could look better, but I haven't seen any in recent history. would be ideally mounted in a factory setup where it's hidden behind the door panel.

JBL GTO608C Review by Tom

These speakers sound good for the money. I was not pleased with JBL not including any speaker wire or connectors. Installation was moderately difficult; doable but time consuming.
