I’ve got the JBL 6x8s in my f150 and my goodness they have got to be some of the best aftermarket speakers I’ve ever heard

[@VaalkinTheOnly]

JBL really knows their stuff when it comes to studio technology

[@vegasbab.y3740]

Omg I’m definitely buying these for my 11 impala. It definitely needs the upgrade. I feel like listening to how strong the bass was making me feel like I was about to feel it in my body like at concerts that have JBL sound systems.

[@1993edddie]

I can vouch on it sounds beautiful in a 2009-2014 limited impala (same body) i also had them using stock head unit if i had an amp damn

[@NoStressVanLife]

Ever since my first car I bought that had JBL I have swapped all my speakers for JBL. I fell in love with their quality. A lot of people asked what subs I was running....none 😅 just 8 JBLs 710 Life

[@leftdamaged187]

Sounds like these are 100% better sounding in the room and recording. Proper staging and equipment really do play such a major role

[@Taylordeanhall]

Heard sounds from that song I didn't even know were there. I've always loved JBL

[@vegasbab.y3740]

Super crisp and clear.

[@therobb5738]

StonerMind, watching your recent videos has been very useful for me, I've been wanting to upgrade the stock rear 6x9s in my car but not sure what the most reasonable option would be, cost vs sound quality. My car already has Mach "premium audio" in it, but it could always sound better. My Audiobahn 12's already overpower everything, so I need some sound clarity back in my life. Thanks for the awesome content!

[@jeremys8360]

TheRobb573 Rockford fosgate is a good brand

[@MyStonerMind420]

no problem

[@steveiliev8912]

I just bough pair of these, and installed them on my prelude replacing pioneer speakers! Night and day difference! These are very good speakers! Sound is so well balanced! Crisp and clear sound! I have the impression singers are sitting on my back seats! You can hear every detail and every breath they take! The movement of their lips:-) It is JBL, and sounds like JBL ! They are a bit overbassed, but that is easy to correct, and I don’t blame them! The markets today SCREAM for more and more bass! And I’m running them on the amp of my cheap Chinese android and there is enough power and clear sound for my liking! Even all the way up it sound clear and pretty good! Considering my car is louder then average ,and most of the time my windows are partially opened because my AC is still not fixed! I was planing for small amp and small trunk subwoofer in my project plans, but now I really think I don’t need all that trouble! ..........but would never say never...;-) If You Are looking for back and butt massage, that ain’t going to do it for You! But if You look for gentle “ear jacuzzi” and “heart spa”, look no further! If Your car is some quiet “Lexus” You may find Yourself happy with the power of Your factory system! And the best part, they are not that expensive! My only concern are the foam rims on the speakers! I had JBL TLX speakers in the past with horrible tweeter experiences, and similar foam rims! After about 8 years these rims just disappeared! Just like that! I took off the grills one day because something didn’t sound right, and found the radiators hanging on the grill, and bass speaker held only on the magnet! There was not even pieces from the foam rims! Just a dust! I don’t know!?? I hope this is not the same material! Time will tell! But now I’m a happy camper! :-)

yo. What box size do you recommend for these JBL 6x9s?

Because they're made for the back of a car, I'd say fairly big boxes. Don't give them small ones like I had in the videos, not sure how or why they became a thing.

Yeah it should be a straight swap if your car has speakers on the parcel shelf. Otherwise you're gonna have to wire rear outputs that come from the stereo manually, by removing some interior side trim panels and laying down wiring the way people typically do with power wires or RCAs for amps.

To be fair the JBL's are the first set of speakers he has tested which were really any good. Especially the Scosche set. Those are the kind of speakers you find at a discount tool shop along with Pyle, Boss and other cheap junk!

Exactly

[@baklap141]

Jbl speakers always sounded quite balanced with the bass and treble. Even the cheaper line speakers do very well. Yet Ive only bought a simple 90 euro 12 inch subwoofer from jbl so far. Also that one is decent for the price and its sits now 10 years in my vw beetle and still going strong. In my other car I use a Ground Zero amp and Phonocar compo set speakers that do the job very well.

You can add a port tube to your cabinet to get more bass

[@travisritenour1849]

Box would need to be bigger

[@dylanBehrproductions]

It also wouldn't be an accurate test, they would peak at a certain frequency and some of the drivers would do better in a ported box compared to a sealed box

[@cdshawn]

小萌妹 no. When six by nines are in the trunk that represents a large sealed box. When six by nines are in the door it represents a medium semi sealed box and no time in normal 6 by 9 installation do any of their installations mimic a ported box, so no ported test will be needed.

[@davidwoodbridge862]

Yep, you can in fact buy a similar parcel shelf style ready made box that has a port. I've actually just ordered a pair so I can see if freeing up the pressure in the box makes any real difference to the bass response. In the (necessarily) small box that these tests are based on the speaker cone cannot move freely enough due to the small volume of sealed in air causing pressure on the cone. Thus the bass response is quite limited. Having a port may or may not have a significant difference because the enclosure is still very small, I'm about to find out though!

[@thenotoriousrvh6091]

You would actually be surprised how much bass output from 55 to 80Hz you can get from a good 6X9 with the right power and senario. Try getting these and putting one on each side of those boxes to give the speaker a little more breathing room. I mean out 2 on one box. www.amazon.com/dp/B01MZ1N98J/ref=cm_sw_r_em_taa_Ml9XBb11XPMRV

[@EverydayExitSign]

I've got another comment to add though, the system is currently running off of my aftermarket Sony head unit with the exception of my subs, but the head unit only puts out 55rms per channel... You're undoubtedly getting better results than me with these speakers, even though they're running off of very little power, they get QUITE loud and flex a good amount! I feel stupid asking this because speakers are meant to flex, but at what point is it too much? I have my crossover for these boys set at 80hz high pass, and 80hz low pass for the subs. Any comments? I want to make a video demonstrating my setup :P

[@MyStonerMind420]

the point at which the flex is so much you hear distortion is probably when it's too much mechanically for the speaker, or audibly for the stereo. In this video I think I have quite a bit of power going to them but I can't put a number on it and also they're receiving the entire lower range of frequencies too. The overly small sealed boxes they were in prevent them from flexing as much as they'd be able to in the back of a car though.

[@EverydayExitSign]

My Stoner Mind I seeeeee, man one of my 6x9’s sounds kinda scratchy at low volumes, I wonder if it came defective or if they simply have little current, it seems to go away at higher volumes but man I don’t think I really beat on these hard
