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.
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.
@@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.
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 ; )
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.
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!
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?
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
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?
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 .
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.
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 i were to choose one of those to put in 4 doors, which one you recommend? My car is 6.5 and i wont install an amplifier. Another question, is there a huge difference in the sound between them?
Did you replace the factory tweeter? If so what did you go with? & did it change the sound to the JBL 6X9 tweeter? I ordered all of the same speakers but not sure about changing the factory tweeter. I don’t want it to affect the 6x9 tweeter.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.

It's amazing what a difference it makes just getting rid of those flimsy stock speakers! Great video!
Dude forreal! I couldn't believe how cheap they were. Thanks!
This video has definitely made me want to get some of these speakers for my car. Thanks
For factory replacement speakers without an amp they sound great 🤘
I was surprised myself! Was easy to do and would never go back to stock.
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.
I'll definitely look into it! Thanks! 👌
This is the First thing that came to my mind at the end of this video.
Agreed . And that’s what I’m gonna do . Knock out two birds with one stone . So that I don’t have to disassemble door 2se .
That sound test is so clean it sounds like it was edited in haha. Thats the JBL quality
I installed those jbl ‘s in my 2015 tahoe, the only difference is that I installed 6x9 in the 4 doors and the sound is out of this world😍
You happen to know if the 4 6x9 setup would work in a 2015 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab?
@@LaRonStar I would like to now as well
@@JUANCRAMIREZ19based on the website. Looks like yes but only for the 2 front doors.
@@LaRonStar also can I install these same speakers on my 2015 silverado crew cab with the stock headunit or will I need an amp.
@@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.

It will bro, anything beats the stock speakers.
I recommend installing the cable out not in the door , the qindow needs room one of your cables might catch or just raddle. But other then that thanks
I have an up-to-date video coming soon. Thank you for your suggestion.

So, after speaker installed, there are totally 2 tweeters at each door ? (factory one + coaxial) or disconnected the factory one ?
Do you run amplifier on those new install or just your car radio??
How come you replace the coaxial set 6x9 with the component stock unit?
What amp or amps are you pushing these speakers with?
i have installed 4 jbl speakers in my 67 mustang but the sound is not that good at low volume. should i install an amplifier too?
Having an aftermarket deck and Amp should definitely improve the sound quality. Ive been thinking about doing the same.
Hey I need help on doing the connections to the speaker(positive&negative) and connecting it to the car how I do that?
In this video I did a plug and play kit. I dont really have an info regarding the wiring... Sorry. ☹
Did you install these speakers without amplifier ,? Please inform me
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
Nope, these are being powered from my stock head unit.
Were your wires wrong becuse? I have the same problem my stocks sound better than the 939s
did you put the factory faceplate covers on the 939s under the door panel?
Nope. I didn't put then back on.
Mine popped out too much and door panel won't fit. Especially with the adapter recommended

I'll have to look into that, Thanks!
Did the rear speakers fitted in perfectly into the adapters ? Or did they had to be modified at all ?
They were a very nice fit. The only problem that I had was the screws that came with the brackets were too long so I had to use shorter screws.

Did you need to add a amplifier
I really thought he drop the boxes with the speakers still inside the packaging lol
Did you install an amp to the speakers ?
Did you have to add an amp to them?
So no crossover thingy needed?
Is jbl gto 609 perform same as these?!!

What’s the magnet size
So do you have 4 tweeters now?
I only have 2 tweeters. I don't know if I would count the "tweeters" in the other speakers.
Can anyone tell me what will be the best budget amp to run these 4 speakers?
JBL Stage A6004.
