Depends on what your listening too tbh. Yes JBLs are quality, but for example stuff like skar, low end, high output. but thats if your listening to heavy bass music, When it comes to speakers its all preference on a certain spectrum, i had had everything from the best to the worst over the years.Ive heard trash amazon and walmart speakers destroy high end systems. and same the other way around. I m sure you have also without even knowing.
Bro, this dude had 6 of those Rockvilles in a ported box and let me tell y'all that Bi..h pounded the lows !! People thought he had 12's back there . I was was blown away at the flexing those 6x9s could do !!
I have a pair of those rockville 6x9's paired with tweeters. Bandpassed with low- pass crossover at 60htz, high-pass at 2 khtz on a sundown amp. 250 watts to each. They are beasts. They make excellent mid-bass speakers. They aren't full range speakers, but they are awesome between 40htz and 2.5khtz. Been in car audio since the early 90's and used to compete. They are the best 6x9's I've ever heard within their frequency range. Very loud, handles lots of power, and play very clear and clean . Don't let the brand name and price put you off. Well worth it if you know how to use them.
Those Rockville 6x9 subwoofers are near impossible to find anymore but they sure had a nice little punch to em! Not sure why they even discontinued those things and wish they'd bring them back into production...
Me personally I like the JBL STADIUM GTO series 6x9s. They are very efficient on a stock car unit because they are rated at 3 ohms instead of two or four. Most factory car stereos are rated at 4 ohms but because the jbls are rated at 3 ohms it makes them slightly louder than replacing the stock speaker with a standard 4 ohm speaker.
@@longsleevethong1457 depending on your aftermarket head unit output you might want to opt for the series below the STADIUM GTO series which is the Club series. The STADIUM GTO series has around 100 watts RMS power handling between the 6x9s and 6.5s. I have a factory JBL stereo in my Highlander and my head unit blew the club series 6.5s but the 6x9s were great! So I upgraded both front and back speakers with the STADIUM GTO series thinking only power handling would be different and I was very wrong. Not only do they handle more power, but they sound completing different overall. The stage series is very musical both bass wise and vocally. If you think your head unit has the power than I would definitely get the STADIUM GTO series but if you feel your vehicle has more of a stock power output then get the club series. I believe for the club series I had the 9632 6x9s and 622s for 6.5s. If you have the power go with the stadium gto930 and the stadium gto620. Fantastic speakers!
You are one of the very few shops that would actually take the time to do a comparison Most shops just sell whatever they have Or what has worked in the past The Rockville is the beefiest sub But they made Junk It has outrageous ratings the kicker would probably have the best bass The JBL probably the best sound Full range
When I bought my car, the OEM 6x9 speakers were trashed, and only 9 years old at the time. I had bought an inexpensive ($90) Kenwood 50 watt cd stereo to replace the original am/fm only unit. I bought a pair of Durabrand 6x9 speakers (60 watt max) for only $10 each from my local W*M. They sound good enough with the radio I don't think I need anything else. I would however, like to replace the OEM 5x7 speakers in the front doors.
I run a pair Deaf Bonce Arnold 6.5" midrange speakers with 6x9 to 6.5" adapters in the rear 6x9 locations. They get down, just those two rears with the four 6.5" in the front turned all the way off can be heard from quite a distance. Good for anyone aiming for vocal volume to keep up with their subwoofers
The best sounding 6x9's I've ever had and used, and trust me I've had many sets, some in back windows, some in their own carpeted box, etc..., so to me, after all the different brands, styles and power ratings, and the best sounding, that hit hard but not so hard it would shatter my back window was from Mobile Authority it was their Thump series speakers, their pro-comp Thump 6x9's hit and sounded like set of 10" subs, they were 500w/850w max svc 4ohm and also came dvc 4ohm 800w/1250w max speakers, I had a set of 2 at first in my 91' Prelude, later I got 2 more and 4 6x9's in the back window, and the hit hard, so hard where I pulled people asked me what size my subs were, but I had no subs later I added 2 12" MTX Terminator Pro-comp series 3's in a MTX Factory built ported and frequency tuned for my subs by MTX, That system was ground pound loud, however if your just looking to replace your stock 6x9's with some louder ones but your not necessarily wanting them to shake the ground but just want them louder and clearer then the factories I suggest the Dual brand 6x9's they sound great are reasonably cheap and mount in any 6x9 hole, I had a factory 6x9 in my Plymouth Grand Voyager going out and I bought a set of those Dual 6x9's were 350w/525w max 4ohm svc 3 ways, you could also get them in dvc's and in 2ohm and 8ohm configuration, and they only cost me $20 at AutoZone.
Polk audio was my choice. Had some 6x9 momos with some 5 .5 door speakers with some tweeters in my crx. 2 mtx blue thunders in the back man that car sounded nice. I don't not miss installing everybody's speakers and raidos either.
I had a 91 hatch civic with 4 alpine 6x8 plates with 4in mids an tweeter in each for the doors an rear spots, 2 mtx 12in and a mtx 15in all at one time that was intense to sit in with it cranked up all the way. Old alpine head unit was cool at that time. Forget the amplifier name, but it was putting out like 5k watts. back in early 2000s it was one the loudest systems i set up back then. Polk made some awsome stuff, an them old blue thunders nocked hard. The mtx i had used were some the newer subs at the time i did it. I dont remember what model they were. 😅
The I have the same Jbl Harmon carmon in my car now. super clear highs and mids clean bass no distortion what so ever. better then all of those speakers as a whole but the Rockville is a sub not a midrang speaker it hits like a sub too vary nice so the Rockville is out.
A round speaker will reproduce sound and have better sound quality than and oblong speaker will so when changing them out I would say it’s up to what you want sound quality or SPL.
Probably the JBL, it's going to move more at lower volumes and it's designed for free air so it's going to be more boomy. If the purpose is to add low end without a sub then name brand 6x9, are the way to go. The reason I don't say off brand is because they want those to handle MEGA WATTS!!! this means sensitivity is way off and the suspension is usually quite firm, i.e. it's going to take a lot more MEGA POWERS to move it.
The Rockville will give a powerful clear full Range sound without woofers 2 control the Back of car or truck ✨️Amplifier must be used for full Power ✨️
Jbl will win. Its the same as infinity so both brands will blow anything out the water for the price. If you want best money can buy get focal. But jbl will out perform any aftermarket
@@swanginfleet skar is better bang for buck but jbl is alot higher sound quality with mid range woofers and tweeters, subwoofers skar probably wins because they are alot cheaper and produce good bass
I’d just go with the standard JBL replacement. It should be just for rear fill. Also are those subs rated for IB? … depends on the customer and their wants.
Oval shaped speakers won't produce very good bass at higher volume because of the oval shape. The voice coil is round therefore it causes flexing of the cone. That's why they make 6x9 replacement speakers that are round.
I have (2) 12" Audiopipe Subs in 4 of my cars (4stacks) and they get the job done on a non-Audiopipe amp which are trash. And the cost is very budget friendly.
I don't understand why anyone would substitute a high range 6x9 for a low range Sub? Why not install a high quality 6x9 component speaker and then add a dedicated sub box in the back?

That Rockville is a beast
😂😂😂
I agree I have all Rockville system in my suburban sounds amazing
That one specifically is probably Rockvilles best 6x9. It's a sub and it has a fat ass tweeter voice coil.
@@GlutenFree-e awsome

If you have the power go with the stadium gto930 and the stadium gto620. Fantastic speakers!
At least put 75 rms to around 125 rms amp. and it will sound very good with good lows & highs with your factory system.
You are one of the very few shops that would actually take the time to do a comparison
Most shops just sell whatever they have
Or what has worked in the past
The Rockville is the beefiest sub
But they made Junk
It has outrageous ratings the kicker would probably have the best bass
The JBL probably the best sound
Full range

Jbl is your best option but the best speakers I've ever had were from Boston Acoustics

Jbl especially if there the stadium loud and clean with a punch, also the tweeter on them can move around so you can tweak it to your liking.

JBL for the daily driver, Rockville if your trying to win a car show.
I have 4) of those audiopipe subs under the backseat in my crew cab duramax…foward firing…the sound and hit awesome
Ds18 baby. I believe I would go with the CF 69.2 NR. That would be my choice
JBL all day.... then Kicker.
The I have the same Jbl Harmon carmon in my car now. super clear highs and mids clean bass no distortion what so ever. better then all of those speakers as a whole but the Rockville is a sub not a midrang speaker it hits like a sub too vary nice so the Rockville is out.
i threw 2 15s in my trunk thats the move 💯
Voting for the Rockville 6x9
I’d go with an infinite baffle have a few 6.5s in there on low power
A round speaker will reproduce sound and have better sound quality than and oblong speaker will so when changing them out I would say it’s up to what you want sound quality or SPL.
Please consider doing upgrades in TSX wagons... With navigation
Rockville...I'm a dnb/dub scratch dj and I 100% approve...pending on the model
Audiopipe if u have a 500 to 700 RMS for each and they only play bass 2nd I'd say Rockville it will play decent bass and ur mids and highs
Depends on Choice amplifer(System)

JBL is far from the best bang for your buck. Skar is by far a better option.
@@swanginfleet skar is better bang for buck but jbl is alot higher sound quality with mid range woofers and tweeters, subwoofers skar probably wins because they are alot cheaper and produce good bass
JBL's 6×9 to replace the 6×9 that would bring in better lows, mids, and highs.
I go for the JBL
Depending on the goal. Im more of a traditionalist so for me it'll be the JBL. You can't beat a solid 3 way in the rear deck
Depends on the wattage in those speaker wires.
The 3 way speaker would be the best choice.
If you are running off the head unit integrated amp the jbl, if you are running an amp idk. As long as you have mids and highs somewhere else.
The JBL if just doing a factory replacement
4 way pioneers
Audiopipe for infinity baffle, or Rockville looks aggressive but I don't know their quality I never try them
JBL FOR A STOCK SWAP. ANY OF THE REST FOR AN EQ REPLACEMENT.
I’d just go with the standard JBL replacement. It should be just for rear fill. Also are those subs rated for IB? … depends on the customer and their wants.
Holy shit I didn’t know they had adapters for those 6.5 to go in 6x9 do they 6x8 that’s what’s in my edge
Kinda forgot to mention are they going on stock power or with a amp?
The JBL of course its a 3way 6x9
I'd put in black diamond, or ds18 6x9 coaxial with the super tweeter in the middle
Mmm some variables Here to consider
Those speakers need a box to sound good your best off just sticking to a component or a co-axle speaker
What’s the best drop in speakers for the 2023 accord .?
Can’t find the rest of the video
Rockville do Rockville trust me you won't regret
Oval shaped speakers won't produce very good bass at higher volume because of the oval shape. The voice coil is round therefore it causes flexing of the cone. That's why they make 6x9 replacement speakers that are round.
Stock power or nice size amp?
Is the best
That JBL will have you right
JBL 6×9
Rockville
And door JBL speaker
Go with JBL. We want mids and highs in the rear shelf not subs. Subs go in the trunk.
Where can I find those 6x9 adapters? I can only find the cheap thin ones
Rockville please.
Do you know a sub and speaker have a different purpose .
Who has any advice on a 2012 accord I want the back ones like he's doing ig 6x9 and the driver and passenger door ones too?
Wouldn't the subs be a no go for mids & highs?
I want to know which one is the best for bass
JBL for SQ
Which one has a Heavy magnet is my 1st choice
I have JBL subwoofer ni my car
For overall SQ. Probably the JBL….
Delete 6x9's entirely, keep the holes open and install some real subwoofers in the trunk 😂 thank me later
the 6x9 because what about the highs?
JBL for stock wattage
JBL speaker
Jbl!!!
KICKER, I HAVE THOSE
I have (2) 12" Audiopipe Subs in 4 of my cars (4stacks) and they get the job done on a non-Audiopipe amp which are trash. And the cost is very budget friendly.
Never mounted subwoofer in a rear deck
JL AUDIO is best.
You can't replace a standard speaker using subwoofer.
What are you trying to achieve?
Be sure to scratch a conductor or two on that window heater.
Jbl I bet
JBL easy
I don't understand why anyone would substitute a high range 6x9 for a low range Sub? Why not install a high quality 6x9 component speaker and then add a dedicated sub box in the back?
Yea idk wtf is going on here they two totally diffrent things lol
Rockville or audio pipe
JBL sounds best. Most bass? Of course not. Best mid/highs? You bet.
People aint gonna play the stupid subscribe game
Those subs will sound like trash cause they need an enclosure
Audio pipe
Kicker
Audiopioe
Rockford fosgate
Jbl
Rockfile
I already know the answer... there all garbage but if that's all ya got then go with the Rockvill
subs will not perform without an enclosure
JBL std
Kickers!
JBL
Unplug rear deck. Waste of money
Leave the original speaker in place and sell that POS TSX
Audiopipe
Aren't they all crap?
