" ...  The sound is well rounded no distortion when played at higher levels.  ...  "
comment
" ...  They sound really nice. ... Speaker adaptors included are very nice ... I remember that the package came with a small loop of what I think was sound dampening stuff, which I probably should have used. ... For regular music, these sound pretty good, if you crank the bass up a little bit.  ...  "

" ...  But these JBLs are quite treble-forward.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Can't say they have quite as much bass as the originals, but again, they haven't completely broken in. ... Even though they don't seem to have quite as much really deep end bass, JBL is JBL, and with these I've restored to an equal level or surpassed the quality of my factory "premium" system when they were brand new. ... For regular music, these sound pretty good, if you crank the bass up a little bit. ... For music other than "regular" that has a lot of bass, these can handle it, but I need to get a new head unit before I judge the output.  ...  "

" ...  I got a pair for my 4 runner & it was far above what I expected they are clean & clear ample bass  ...  "
comment
" ...  I installed them and am VERY pleased with the quality of the sound and excellent bass range.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Love them, it has a deep bass and the tweeters sound great.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The highs are crystal clear and while there's not a lot of Bass, the mids are perfect and they are quality speakers. ... The mids are natural and lifelike and the tweeters provide pristine highs. ... Again, the bass is a little better than ok but you're not driving bass with these - you do that with a sub.  ...  "
comment
" ...  They sound amazing was very suprised how much bass they have too, just fyi for any miata owners out there i had to make extra holes for these In which the stock ones are only 3 and these ones are 4 took a lil longer but all has worked out  ...  "
comment
" ...  They don't have quite as much in the low end, so I'd recommend using them if you have a dedicated sub.  ...  "

" ...  I really like this speakers, work really good, fit my Honda CR-V, just got to cut some MDF 1/2" spacers, even with those I still didn't need to do anything to the inside panels, and the sound is good, the package is good too, it comes with two types of mounting brackets and grill covers  ...  "

" ...  Sounds great but didn't Quite fit my Cherokee,.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Perfect sounds, perfect fit .  ...  "
comment
" ...  Then I installed these and the 4x6 versions in my work truck.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Something that is really awesome about the speakers is that they come with special adapter plates that will fit any 6 inch opening regardless of the make and model. ... Typically in the past I have had to purchase a separate adapter plate in order to get the speakers to fit properly.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Lastly if all of those are good then make sure you use the hardware provided and to use the installation around the speaker mounts.  ...  "

comment
" ...  Vocals are amazing. ... highs were a wee bit peircing, so i hit the little button that JBL was so brilliant for putting in, and fell in love with the smooth sound.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The mids are decent ... Like highs in your music that you never heard before now are earsplittingly sharp, sharp. ... If you press the button, the highs are crystal clear without being overwhelming.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The highs are super crisp, With the little button that adds treble pushed there is too much treble. ... The treble is really crisp and almost overbearing at first.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The highs are clean and crisp the mid are nice and smooth.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I can't even begin to tell you how much better these speakers are, the highs are crisper, mids more clear, and lows much lower than the other speakers.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Mids and treble were ok with the factory items, just needed more bottom. ... Mids and treble are much better now and I don't need the treble slider in the radio turned almost all the way up to give me good clarity.  ...  "
