What would you suggest to replace the factory components? I do not want to replace the factory double din cd changer quite yet. It is a 2005 civic EX special edition, coupe. I do not care about bass. It has some kind of pioneer 6x9s in the rear. Those will also get thrown in the trash and replaced I will use the same brand I use in the fronts. They are 5.5 inch rounds and a one inch tweeter. I am leaning towards jbl GX600c since they sound nice and will work with the low output head unit. Thank you.
Actually you would be well off to buy the Boss and set them up correctly honestly. If I were to supply the JBL speaker with 25% of its maximum power the level and quality of it would suffer as well. Buy the correct equipment for your speakers! It's about more than buy speaker, plug in. Set up any system with the power wrong and I don't care if it is the best equipment on the planet it will sound bad.

JBL is one of the best sound quality brands out there in my opinion. (Currently listening to this video with JBL headphones) Even their Bluetooth speakers are great. Cant go wrong with anything JBL for sound quality
Well said. I have had a 12 inch Powered JBL subwoofer for about 3 years and man that thing is great. It puts out tons of bass and I only have the gain set to about 20%
@@chrishernandez2490 i dont doubt that a bit! I just bought these exact JBL speakers and put them in my car to replace my Massive Audio coaxials and it is literally night and day difference! Super clear and the tweeters are crisp and loud. Can't believe the sound quality but im not surprsised as JBL is becoming really advanced
I had these boss series (3.5, 6x9, and 6x5) in my vehicle with the riot 400 amp and they sounded good. Hit hard and never blew. You can’t put more power than what it’s intended for. On my third system and going back to stock head unit with the boss black series replacements. Pulling out the audio legends and aftermarket sound stream. 2014 Nissan Maxima clarion base only system seem difficult to work with.
The Boss does not sounds bad, it just don't sound as good as the JBL. I had a set off those boss they sounded good because I had separate component tweeters that was dash mounted.
Impedances are not the same for those speakers. If jbl is 1 db in sensitivity above boss, you will need to double boss power to consider quality. In order words they aren't receiving the same amount of power based on their own impedance. Boss is 4 ohms, jbl is 3.
Not to mention the different levels of juice these speaker are meant to handle in general as the Boss is a 3 stage while the JBL is only 2 stage... the JBL has a max of 55w RMS while the Boss caps at 150w RMS. (Atleast on modern spec sheets)
i know a lot of old guys when restoring there old cars(HotRods,etc)they go to pepboys and install those cheap"Boss"speakers.when i suggest something that might be better.they blow there top🤬."Im not going to be like those "F'n"kids with there loud system".but what they listen to is old 60's stuff.so good enough for them😆👍❗
Which side is which speaker? You should mark which side is which so we know which is playing and when. Also you put the price on the JBL but not the price of the boss? I want to see both for comparison
In coaxial car applications, it's all about off-axis response. Your not even gonna hear them the way shown in this video. Stock mounting locations are typically low in front door and even high end sets often won't sound great mounted there. Recommend components to help naturally lift your staging.
I feel like boss is still better. Granted I know the lot will throw stone 🙃 but the JBL sounds too bright for me. The bass is tight but high in my opinion. I feel like the boss is low but the deep bass can be heard. I know I could just get a sub but in the mean time boss in my lil 98DX coupe should be just fine.
Do you know what music sounds best with the boss? FM/AM radio. No joke. Thats what its tuned for. Also? The Boss hates being in that box. Still. No question the JBL is going to sound better. Altec was no dummy.
The boss 6.5 not bad butt I trading it up for a 4x6 kicker speakers I had to I bought the wrong speakers for my car door but I'm using two 9.6 speakers for the back Thay sound pretty good but I'm thinking of trading it with everything kicker speakers in my car
I really enjoy your videos I am wanting to know what 6X9's you recommend for vocal range and highs. Mainly really loud vocals I don't use them for bass at all also will be using 4 channel 800watt amp with high pass filter on. Thank you
Im using now JBLs love them you can trough any music and ull enjoy But if you want really vocals get some real mid bass speakers they will out perform any full range speakers if I buy for my salf i fo with pioneers 100%
The boss lower end can be manipulated by equal by an app on your phone...but most are not smart...so they lack knowledge. All the jbl did was put capacitor to change the speaker sound.
I think those Boss speakers would really only make good men ranges if they actually use the slightly bigger magnet wider spider range in a bigger surround and less harsh Tweeter cuz that's sweeter was vicious on the red one it was stupidly vicious for a speaker that size too it didn't sound good cuz that's weird really but the driver is really just what I'd say a mid bass driver it's like a paper cone it's worse than the paper cone so those speakers if they made them just a little less crappy maybe better and me you should try to see also could you do a kicker and a JBL thing because honestly I want to see which ones really better cuz I'm a fan of kicker speakers but I want to see if their email all up to what they really are
i have paired the Ground Zero GZIF 6.5 Iridium coaxial speakers with my kenwood 4 chanell 720w amp and the sound quality is terrible and costs 100$ pair
Just bought two sets of these for my truck plus jbl tweeters to match. Do you do any video's for tweeters at all? I'm curious about the difference in sound with the tweeters as well
This is a dumb video lol of course jbl is going to sound better. There is a big price difference and just cause jbl sounds better doesn't mean boss is completely bad.
Um... you do realize you're actually way underpowering the Boss by running the same power/amp, right? O_o I'm all for doing a comparison and yes the JBL with a $100 price tag beats the Boss with a $40 price tag but also be honest... Boss is 4 ohm resistance and runs at 150w RMS while the JBL is 3 ohm and 55w RMS. If your running them on the same amp then you're way underpowering the Boss in comparison. To be precise if you've selected an amp that puts out 55w RMS at 3 ohms then the JBL is running at its peak while the Boss is getting 39.75w RMS out of its 150w RMS, or about 25% of what it's capable of. I would actually like to see the Boss compared side by side at its correct power with the JBL. JBL lists the power on the 620 as 55w RMS/165w peak with a resistance of 3 ohms and a sensitivity of 92Db Boss lists the power for the CH6530 as 150w RMS/300w peak with a resistance of 4 ohms and a sensitivity of 90Db.
AWESOME REVIEWS!!! Those red speakers SUCK!! And people buy them, and rate them??? Are their ears working????? JBL PERIOD! I also like Alpine speakers as well.
You're talkin about people understand the difference between What speaker sounds better than the other some people can't hear the difference until you pointed out to him and then some people too damn cheap they speak they think of speakers like a lightbulb Lowe's light-up I'm good only if you're handsome me I like a little more quality with mine like you have some people would say a few speakers at 20 years old it don't matter how old a speaker is if the quality in the frequency level is there and responses there it don't matter how old a speaker is it still going to reproduce and respond just f****** frequencies but like you if you was going to going to cost you ten or $15 more to get a much better speaker I'm buying the better speaker some people they just don't care
Why don’t u just use ncs songs?🤦♂️ whatever beat you’re playing doesn’t really show the full quality of the speaker. Your videos are helpful but your choice of beat is disappointing.
I really like the way you do the side to side testing. Best representation I have seen yet.

How are they holding up so far?

I have the boss 6.5 in my camry right now. the tweeters blew after 1 month. Jbl club series 6.5s are being shipped to me now
i think you are comparing a heavy base speaker versus clarity normal speaker thats why it fails as a clairty speaker (BOSS Audio Systems CH6530)
Impedances are not the same for those speakers. If jbl is 1 db in sensitivity above boss, you will need to double boss power to consider quality. In order words they aren't receiving the same amount of power based on their own impedance. Boss is 4 ohms, jbl is 3.
Exactly! Which is the reason why the JBL is louder. Not saying Boss speaker is the best but can't beat it for the price.

You just choose my new 6.5 JBL . THANK YOU . I like the comparison video
$15 speaker VS $80 speaker.
What's next, ford focus VS Lamborghini?
Can't wait.
Lol
Good analysis, you're the few remaining. They sound better for the price.

Yeah but it’s a clear and consise way of doing side by side comparison it serves its purpose wonderfully
thankyou so much its hard to find these sort of obvious comparisons
I bought a crv had a blown 6.5 I bought ty he cheapest wich was bought now I am definitely going to upgrade thumbs up
Damn what a difference.
I love my kickers speakers I had to switch it up from boss
Saved me from buying the boss, that jbl sounds way clearer way better song. I'm wearing noise canceling headphones to listen.
me too!!!
I have 6.5 boss speaker there not bad I'm thinking of trading them in for skar 6.5 speakers very soon I Shure would love to see skar and Sony go at it
I heard this through my boss speakers and was able to tell the differences lol what does this mean ?
I would like a track list plz
Not adjusted right cause I have boss and it sounds like the expensive one so this comparison is bullshit

The boss speakers are only 18000khz on the high end but I think it should be higher being a three way speaker.
The boss almost has more bass !
GREAT FUCKING VIDEO!! 🔥
Very good. Thank you very much

Buy whichever fits your application.

To be honest I like the bass in the boss more then the other I don't know why
On JBL bass allot stronger then boss that's why my microphone gets distortion

should i get an amp for the jbl or just run off aftermarket kenwood deck?
Anyway will be good sound but any cheapest amp will be better then any head unit
JBL = Freshness of music
How bout hifonics is that a good speaker
day and night
Best 6.5 coaxial/component set under $100?

Boss vs Bose... Double the crap for same money. Boss = Crap. Bose = Crap Deluxe...
You get what you pay for.. JBL sound more clear

Good
funny thing is i thought the boss sounded better only because the gto was too bright
The difference is one is one is $29 the other $119 thats the difference lol ... an amp and good EQ can raise that volume level brotha
I need help would you say the JBL or Pioneer is the best option to go with or are they both similar
if you asking about pioneer pro it is way better then jbl if regular pioneer go with jbl and im uploading my jbl installed test watch that too

Boss
They buy it for the red cone. Hahhaa. Nice. Guess Boss wont be sponsoring your channel huh??? Haha
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have some Boss 5 1/4's and they sound worse than the factory gm basic speakers.... SQ is garbage. (in vehicle when purchased)
Yeah I bought a pair and thay suck then I bought a pair of component speakers thay suck to
This is a dumb video lol of course jbl is going to sound better. There is a big price difference and just cause jbl sounds better doesn't mean boss is completely bad.
