About the JBL GT7-5C
A cool upgrade
The compact design of the GT7-5C woofer makes this system a fit for a wide variety of cars.
A cool upgrade
These GT7-5C component speakers from JBL have everything you want when shopping for a car speaker: an advanced design, quality materials, a cool look, and a practical price tag. But in the end, it's what they sound like that matters most, and true to their iconic heritage, these JBLs deliver.
How do they do it?
You'll gain a satisfying boost in sound quality from this component system, thanks to JBL's patented Plus One™ architecture, which expands the surface area of the polypropylene woofer for impressive bass. And the edge-driven dome tweeters handle a wider range in the high frequencies for more natural sound — vocals, in particular, benefit from a smoother transition from the midrange. The external crossovers direct the right frequencies to the each driver to ensure a balanced sound.
JBL built these GT7 speakers to handle up to 45 watts RMS, so they'll perform spectacularly with an aftermarket radio or amp, but with a design geared toward maximum efficiency, you'll get superior performance even from a factory radio. Grilles are included for a custom installation.
Installation note: You'll need a pair of our universal backstraps to install the tweeters in the factory locations.

Product Research
Woofers
Plus One Woofer Cones: The Plus One woofer 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.
Tweeters
Tweeters: The edge-driven dome tweeters are made of PEI (Poly-Ether-Imide). PEI is a polymer film, capable of producing a wide soundstage.
Tweeter Mounting Options: Using the supplied housings the tweeters can be surface mounted flat or surface mounted at an angle (no flush mount housing is included). Once mounted in the appropriate housing, the tweeters have these dimensions:
Surface Mount | Angled Surface Mount | |
---|---|---|
Mounting Depth | screw depth | screw depth |
Mounting Height | 0.884" | 1.844" |
Cutout Diameter | N/A | N/A |
Frame Diameter | 1.8" | 1.8" x 2.21" |
Crossovers
Connections: The passive crossovers feature screw terminal inputs and outputs; they will accommodate bare wire or spade connectors up to 1/4" wide.
Tweeter Level: A switch in each crossover allows you to adjust the output level of the tweeter; choose 0 dB or +2 dB.
Mounting: Each crossover can be mounted using two of the included screws through two holes in the base.
Dimensions:
- Length: 2.625"
- Width: 1.825"
- Height: 0.940"

Love the sound, easy install for the larger 5 1/4 cone. Smaller tweeter cone was a little fiddle, but I was prepared for it. Scosche brackets worked well. Now I just have to get the rear 6x9's replaced, but I am going to enjoy as is for a while Mini Cooper 2009 with stock stereo
