Description
Three-ohm voice coils
Three-ohm voice coils in the JBL GTO 609C compensate for the added resistance by thin factory-installed speaker wiring. They also provide more output than factory-installed speakers of the same class.
Speaker grilles and tweeter-mounting hardware
The JBL GTO 609C two-way component speakers include attractive black-metal mesh grilles to protect the speakers whenever they’re mounted in a location requiring a grille. In addition, the tweeters have the patented I-Mount tweeter-mounting system that allows easy flush or surface mounting, giving you more installation options.
12dB/octave passive crossovers
A dedicated 12-decibel/octave passive crossover network in the component sets increases power handling and musical clarity in the JBL GTO 609C two-way component speakers. It provides protection for the tweeter and contoured filtering at the crossover point between the woofer and tweeter.
High sensitivity (92dB@2.83V/1m)
High sensitivity allows a wide range of power to provide great sound without overdriving the audio system. With a sensitivity of 92 decibels at 2.83 volts/1 metre, the JBL GTO 609C speaker achieves excellent volume and musicality with as little as 5 watts RMS. That means better overall performance with moderate power driving the speaker. And better performance makes the speakers an ideal replacement for factory speakers as well as for any aftermarket speaker installation.
Frequency response up to 21kHz
A wide frequency response that extends beyond 20kHz helps compensate for speaker-placement variations in your car and for human hearing deficiencies in the high-frequency spectrum above 15kHz. The result is that the JBL GTO 609C’s 3/4-inch (19-millimetre) component tweeters deliver the full-range frequency response that you associate with great sound.
Edge-driven, soft-dome tweeter diaphragms
The edge-driven, soft-dome-tweeter design in the JBL GTO 609C’s 3/4-inch (19-millimetre) component tweeter increases power handling while reducing high-frequency distortion. Edge-driven tweeters also have better dispersion characteristics and allow a lower crossover frequency, which improves imaging. The result is better vocals and clarity in your music. There’s no sense having it loud if it doesn’t sound clean, too.
JBL GTO 609C component speaker delivers up to 270 watts of peak power (75 watts RMS), making it an ideal match for systems powered by head units or factory amplifiers. It’s also perfectly compatible with GTO Series amplifiers, ensuring seamless integration into more powerful setups with subwoofers. Designed to satisfy discerning audiophiles, its robust power-handling capabilities not only enhance performance but also ensure long-term reliability.
Suggested Amplifier Power Range: 25 – 270 watts
JBL GTO 609C component speaker is designed to deliver strong, clear audio whether powered by a head unit or an amplifier delivering up to 270 watts. Its versatile power handling makes it a perfect fit for systems using factory or aftermarket amplification, and it pairs seamlessly with many GTO Series amplifiers. Capable of keeping up with systems that include subwoofers, the GTO 609C satisfies audiophiles seeking high-fidelity sound. Its robust power-handling also ensures long-term reliability and performance.
Patented Plus One™ Woofer-Cone Technology
GTO 609C features JBL’s patented Plus One™ carbon-injected cones, offering more cone surface area than others in its class. This design allows the speaker to move more air, resulting in improved low-frequency output. The carbon-injected material also makes the cone lighter and stiffer, delivering deeper bass and enhanced musical detail—typically associated with larger speakers.
Fiberglass-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Frames
GTO 609C’s 6-1/2" woofer/midrange drivers feature durable fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) frames that resist warping—even when mounted on uneven surfaces. The nonmagnetic carbon composite frame helps focus magnetic energy to the voice coil instead of dissipating it as heat, while also eliminating unwanted resonance. The result is more efficient performance and accurate, distortion-free sound.
