I ordered those Boss speakers a few weeks ago. When they arrived I looked at them and decided not to run them in my truck. So, I ordered the JBL GTO speakers LOL. Going to start installing the JBL's and a 10inch JL Audio subwoofer-- powered with a 1,200 Watt Amp ! I am going to keep the Boss speakers and won't return them--- eventually I will find a use for them but they will not be my daily driver. Good video- Merry Christmas----Bret Fuqua-- Coeur d Alene, Idaho
I would assume most people who buy these speakers are replacing their original ones that came with the car. Most of these speakers mentioned don't necessarily need an amp and are also a great entry into car audio.
Which is better overall if you want luxury bass, clarity, and sound inside the car only not outside the car Alpine R, GTO 629, Focal, or Infinity Kappa or another brand??

Last year you had the jbl628 in second place to the alpine. Now the 629 seems top of the pack. How would you compare the 628 vs 629. I'm torn which one to buy with a $45 difference per pair right now. I want to buy 4 to replace all my stock car speakers.
The pioneer to-f1634r are amazingly loud and sound pretty good on low watts . Amazing for the price great price . Mounted them in my boat and wasn’t expecting them to last but they lasted 2 years in the weather no cover on the boat !!
Would you please do some reviews on JBL ARENA EXP VS FOCAL UTOPIA M?... I would love to see some high end speaker comparisons... Because that's what I'm looking at getting.... 1 of them 2. Which, believe me... Are the best you can get right now by FAR!!!! BERYLLIUM TWEETERS BABY!!!!! 🤯🤩😍👑🏆🥇💎❤️
I test many speakers and different brands 6.5 ,so in my experience Rockford Fosgate are the king like R165x3 this particular model is real good quality of sound and very powerful, better sound than JBL Infinity Kappa Skar audio blaa blaa blaaa,Kicker is the second good speakers because the tweeters they install are so crispy sound tropical and fresh, I recommended this 2 brands and the price is not bad 👌🏽
I used boss 6x9 once and the tweeters shorted out my amp and ive had others that came apart without an amp so not very trusted worthy now i will say they sounded ok good new but nobody wants speakers that short out good or baf
I just purchased 4 of the JBL Club 622 model. I haven't seen any info on them anywhere? Are they newer version or older? I powered them with a nice Polk amplifier. They are badass!
Lol I’m here because I’m running the pioneer door speakers. There ok for replacing your 20 year old stock door speakers but don’t have the quality of sound I’m really looking for.
I come from the "kicker" and "Punch" days, so I'm out of the loop on new stuff. I'm looking for a cheaper stereo setup. I have spots for 4 4x6's and 2 6.5's and room for a single din head unit. I am not adding any amps or subs. I would like to get a single din hu with a 7" or 8" slide out/in (sorry..idk the proper name for the style) hu. Being that I said cheaper.. that style hu may not be possible. Only requirement on the hu is that it is Bluetooth capable. Would you have any recommendations on speakers and hu's? Thanks
The reason those cheap speakers are top sellers is because the people whose buying them are the people who only need there speakers replaced so they have something to listen to and ain't into big systems or want to pay a lot of money for them, so they look for cheap speakers and choose the brands there familiar with... Now the JBL GTO Stadium speakers are bought because of there reputation, those speakers are phenomenal. I had 4 of the GTO Stadium coaxials 6x8's in one of my cars and i loved them, they were very loud a crisp for coaxial's. I didn't have them running off an amp, but I had one of those Sony head units that had a built in amp. Sonic Electronix put it on an amp dyno and it did around 45 watts rms per channel so the speakers were only getting about half their rated power and they still screamed. They have a sensitivity rating of 93db so they got pretty loud on low power. And they were super clean and had a decent amount of bass at high volume, i would definitely recommend them.
Have you reviewed 2 ohms speakers, I know they are hard to find, I am using both 6.5" & 8" versions of the ds18 PRO SM motorcycle speakers, loud and clear, Wolfram audio W 125.4 ab, about 175 watts at 2 ohms per channel
I know the topic is subjective among viewers but which speaker would you choose for best tweeter? Looking for clean, bright sound, not concerned about bass. Thanks.
Off topic but what would be good setup with 4- 6x9s. 2- 3.5? Tryin to replace all speakers but don’t know if I should do full range in rear deck , component 6x9 in front doors and 3.5 in dash any feedback is appreciated.
We all know running components instead of coaxial sounds better. I recommend running Audiopipe subs, a crossover and a tweeter. I have 4 Audiopipe APMB 6x8’s, 4 Audiopipe CRX-203 crossovers and 8 Alpine tweeters in my F-150. I know people like to blab and brag about their systems. I know. I know. However, I was genuinely surprised at the clarity of this setup. I did use a lot of QuickRoof aluminum tape in the doors and cab for sound deadening too. The Audiopipe 6x8’s surprised me with how clear and loud I got mids and mid to low bass from them. They actually kick. I am using a quality head unit, equalizer and pure copper cables. It’s not easy to get 6x8’s that actually kick. Believe me. I’ve tried several coaxial brands. Pioneer, Alpine, Infinity and Rockford Fosgate trying to get four 6x8 door speakers to kick in my F-150. If you have an F-150 then you know what I mean. Try the setup I just mentioned.
Hey Planning to change the base speakers for my jeep jl sound bar It comes with pair of 4.5 and 3.5 inch speakers Also im just changing speakers of soundbar Any suggestions? 6*9 or 6.5? Which model to go for? Also i will be adding an amplifier
Hey Mike I know most of these videos are a few months old but I have a question. Looks like Orion XPM654MBF is your top pick for 6.5 midrange speaker but sold out everywhere and may not be back. Do you recommend something close to this at the same price point? Ive been religously researching before making a purchase so your videos have been great. But you got me sold on the Orion's and they are gone lol have you happened to test the alphasonik BM65 by chance $69 pair on amazon 100 db rating 150rms 600 peak don't seem to play as high of hertz 15-80 but would love to know if you tested them
I have 4 x 6.5" crescendo pwx and they are great for midbass, the larger ones should be even better, the d4s 65s are rebatched deaf bonce Wich have a very high reputation for being very good mid-range/bass speakers
I have a 2008 jeep wangler it has room for 6.5 what 4 speaker system with amp would you use and what bass speaker would you use with amp if needs a separate amp
Focal’s entry level is still over $100. That’s gonna deterred 80% of the casual buyers. I loved alpine since the 90s but after listening to their type R components on a DD amp, I was not impressed. Infinity kappa or CDT way better at lower price. Alpine type R subs can’t even compete with sundown SAs.
Alpine are ok but not in the same league as Focal. Other top European brands to consider are Rainbow, Hertz, Helix, Audison, Eton, German Maestro (formally known as MB Quart).
Was back and fourth between the club 6520 and the GTO629 and decided to spend double and just got myself a pair of the GTO629 for my del sol after finally upgrading the stock head unit to a Kenwood with 50W/ch. Now I'm trying to figure out of I should get another coax pair or a component set to put in the doors. But idk how to install stuff
VERY helpful. I have stock kia 2011 that are blowing, so inevitable "adult" toy to play with. I was looking at the JBL on your review, but cant help but to just spring for these. Not based on the numbers, what is your feedback quality wise etc. I cant find your review on it.
Which one do you think is better Alpine ss65 or JBL GTO 629.....? They have same design and almost same price. Just looking for a good base and good tweeter sound.
What are the settings on the jbl gto 629 twitter. From the factory it is in the less bright setting? and if you press the button the tweeter becomes brighter?
GTO - premium/higher level, gx - entry level. If you're just running them straight from head unit GX will do fine, but if you're juicing them then you will need the GTO or something else that can handle it.
I have skar fsx with the factory tweeters in one car and kicker cs in the other one. I love the skars but the kickers are pretty decent. I was given a set of those jvc I thought about putting in the rear. I might try them out today
@@promo130 Yes they do...the sensitivities are mostly higher than "non", and most are bullet or compression types.

People need to look at the sensitivity. I always choose JL I know what I’m getting when I buy them quality sound. JL or focal.
DSL is best if,you not like pay over 250! And,not coaksial!!!! One bass + one treble! 2-way real speakers
kICKER and Rorford Fosgate increased their prices around $80 😞
I just purchased 4 of the JBL Club 622 model. I haven't seen any info on them anywhere? Are they newer version or older? I powered them with a nice Polk amplifier. They are badass!
