Go for it
If you're in the market for new speakers, you've just found a serious contender. JBL created their GTO6429 4"x6" speakers as a hi-fi solution for those who want better sound in their vehicle.
JBL innovation
You'll find JBL's unique Plus One woofer cone design at work here, which expands the diaphragm area of the cone to give you better low-frequency response. Edge-driven soft dome tweeters ensure a rich experience in the upper frequencies, defined by a bright, open quality. These JBLs also offer slightly lower impedance than standard car speakers, so they'll safely draw a little more power from your car stereo, yielding big volume even with low-powered factory radios. But if you want to blast these babies, they'll handle up to 50 watts RMS from an outboard amplifier.

Features
Plus One Woofer Cones: The Plus One speaker cones offer more surface area than other speakers that fit in the same size opening. This is accomplished by using a new basket design and hi-roll surround. The result is greater bass output and an increase in efficiency.
Balanced Dome Tweeter: Each speaker has a balanced dome tweeter. A semi-dome tweeter has a dome placed inside a cone. Balanced dome tweeters are semi-dome tweeters with equal reproduction area given the cone and dome portions of the tweeter.
FRP Frames: The fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) frames used in the GTO series speakers resist warping, even when mounted on uneven surfaces. The nonmagnetic carbon composite has no impact on the motor structure and the plastic doesn't resonate.
High-Output Design: The 3Ω voice coil design compensates for the high in-line resistance of small gauge factory wiring, extracting more power from factory (or aftermarket) receivers. This results in clearer, richer sound for the listener.
Size Classification Note: The GTO 6429 comes mounted on a standard 4x6 bracket (the most common 4x6 application). The bracket can be removed, converting the speaker to a Metric 4x6, thus expanding the number of vehicles into which they can be easily installed.

These speakers fit perfectly in my 1994 Jeep Wrangler factory dash locations. And they sound really good! I had some older Alpine speakers that I thought sounded good until I replaced them with these JBL speakers.
