what are peoples opinions on JBL speakers?
My brother wants fairly cheap 6x9s and front 6" (splits perhaps) for his TH, and im thinking of recommending him JBL gear as opposed to Pioneer/Kenwood cheap stuff as its only a little bit more $$.
I remember in my old car my JBL 6x4 inch 2 ways were very good for what they were.

I always thought JBL made very good speakers? Correct?

yeh in dads old magna (th) we had jbl all round they wer jbl-gto 300 i think...6.5's in the front a 6x9's on the parcel and they were clear, very responsive and handled power and you could throw anything at them and they sounded awsome.. i rekon ther a goer

Yeah I had some splits in my old VL. Sounded great, but the Sony HU wasnt powerfull enough to run them cranked right up.

Well i know the subs are awesome, mates gotta pair of 12 inchers, they thumpdathump!!!!!

My mate has JBL 6*9's just running of his deck and they sound sweet and can be picked up for a decent price then can be hooked up to a amp to achieve a better sound dont get Sony ****

So far as build quality goes they're okay but for similar money there is better sounding speakers around. :)

Any chance you could list a couple?
I had JBL's in my old car - was quite happy with them - but soon want to replace the stock speakers in the Magna.

Well it largely depends on what genres of music you listen to but for the harder genres we tend to recommend:

Boston
Image Dynamics
Focal
Vibe
Phoenix Gold

while for the softer genres we recommend:

Eton
Morel
DyaAudio
Diamond
Rainbow

:D:D

And are any of those in the same price range as the JBL's?

i listen to alot of gangsta rap and things like that (well diff types but u guys wouldnt understand what i talking about) with lots of big bass beats, what would be a killa sub for that :)

KILLAAAA

yep im with bain, is any of that stuff in the same price range as JBL? And is it as accessable as JBL gear.

I like to be able to walk into a shop and see the gear myself, not buy it over the internet.

Guys, I don't just blindly recommend things without reading and considering your posts.

Most of those brands have entry level equipment gear that retails from under $100 and up...

Thanks for your suggestions

The JBL's i was looking at were around the $180 - $300 mark (6x9's & 6" splits). I will take a look at the brands you mentioned.

hmmm, what do you classify as 'softer' or 'harder'?

I have a pair of 10" jbl subs in my tn.

I love them :) I just wish i had a decent amp to push them harder.
