Key Features of JBL GTO-609C

JBL GTO-609C component speaker handles 270 watts peak power (90 watts RMS). This much power makes for an ideal match to systems powered with head-unit or factory-amplifier power levels. Even better, the speaker matches many of the GTO-Series amplifier combinations. As a result, it can keep up with systems that feature one or more subwoofers and satisfy high-fidelity audiophile listeners. And its great power-handling specifications also increase reliability over the lifetime of the speaker.

25 – 270 Watts Suggested Amplifier Power Range
JBL engineers designed the GTO-609C component speaker to produce strong, clear sound from a head unit or amplifier capable of delivering up to 270W of power. This makes the GTO 609C an ideal match for systems powered with head-unit or factory-amplifier power levels. Even better, the speaker matches many of the GTO-Series amplifier combinations. As a result, it can keep up with systems that feature one or more subwoofers and satisfy high-fidelity audiophile listeners. And its great power-handling specifications also increase reliability over the lifetime of the speaker.

Patented Plus One Woofer-Cone Technology
The GTO-609C’s Plus One carbon-injected cone provides more overall speaker-cone area than other cones in its class. With an effective increase in cone area, the speaker radiates more air. Also, its carbon-injected cone material produces a lighter and stiffer cone. The result is better low-frequency response and a greater ability to make those important musical notes that people often associate with larger speaker sizes.

Fiberglass-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Frames
The fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) frames used in the GTO 609C’s 6-1/2-inch (160-millimeter) woofer/midrange drivers resist warping even when you mount them on uneven surfaces. Their nonmagnetic carbon composite helps to control the magnet’s energy and deliver it to the voice coil instead of wasting it as heat. What’s more, the plastic doesn’t resonate. The result of this control is accurate sound in your car.
