A cool upgrade

These GT7-86 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 the sound they make that matters, and true to their iconic heritage, these JBLs deliver.

How do they do it?

You'll gain a satisfying boost in sound quality from these 5"x7"/6"x8" speakers, thanks to JBL's patented Plus One™ architecture, which expands the surface area of the polypropylene woofer for impressive bass. Balanced dome tweeters handle the high notes with ease, especially when powered by an aftermarket radio or amp.

JBL built these GT7 speakers to handle up to 60 watts RMS, but with a design geared toward maximum efficiency, you'll gain superior performance even from a factory radio. 

Grilles are not included; the factory grilles should be suitable for most applications.

Product Research

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 PEI (Poly-Ether-Imide) balanced dome tweeter. PEI is a polymer film, capable of producing a wide soundstage. 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.

Mounting Applications: JBL describes this speaker as a 5x7/6x8; it fits many 5x7 and 6x8 applications. Please check the Crutchfield Vehicle Selector to confirm fit.

Q
The size says 6x8 / 5x7 what size is it actually??? On a comparison page it said 5x7.. So if you could please tell me the actual size of it, that'd be great. I own a 2002 Tacoma prerunner 4 door 2wd v6. I haven't taken the panel off yet to know actual size, but I'd guess the bigger speaker, better sound. I'm thinking between these JBL's and the Kicker Ds6x8 speakers.. So if you could elaborate please.. Thanks

Actual size is 5X7 I paired these with an Alpine 25W stereo They have a great sound with very good Mid and highs with decent base for a smaller speaker, sound is very clear and nice. I listen to mostly Rock. I put 4 of these in a Mustang GT and am happy. JBL makes very good quality stuff imo
