Great video. I love the infinity. It gave just enough of the lows and highs best. JBL seemed to have deeper bass.
Great comparison. Loved it
You are amazing bro thank you for this video. Im getting infinity defo! thanks again!
Great video! Keep up the excellent work. Respect 👍
This is pretty much a tweeter comparison. The woofers are the same, JBL and Infinity are both owned by Harmon International (which is now owned by samsung) and has been known for years to just rebadge products and release them under both names. Look at all the specs, same frequency response and range, same mounting depth, same everything for the woofers, because they are the same. only difference in the dust cap and polypropylene color. The only real difference is the tweeters, while both are 3/4" edge driven, the JBL are a silk dome and the infinity are a textile dome. Which is where the slight difference in the crossovers come into play. While both use a very similar crossover point between the woofer and tweeter, the Jbl silk dome allows it to produce a slightly lower frequency range aiding in the transition between the woofer and tweeter. The JBL will be more "warm" and the Infinity will give a sharper response to the ear.
and i think jbl as carbon injected that makes another difference to the infinity ones
Almost true but while specs are extremely important. Look at the shape of the cones. They’re going to move air vastly differently. As well as their magnet size. As well as their achievable coil depth.. so keep in mind specs are important. But the way they achieve it are very different. And can sound quite different. On top of this tidbit of info I’m leaving you.. over mic even.. they sounded quite different. Not saying you’re wrong. They have the same parent company but they make them similarly but the build makes the speaker. Not the specs. Trust me, I work in this line of work on the side and specs truly can leave you confused if that’s what you base it on.
@@xeviurh2078I want to buy one of this speaker plz suggest me which one is good ? I have 500 rms two woofer .
Cope harder
So would you say the GTO sounds more similar to the Kappa (based on some of your comments on the two compared to reference)
Well explained 💯 i hope to buy infinity
my 2017 had really good bass with the factory speakers. my mk6 jetta has decent bass as well. both non fender. would you say the cc had ok bass from factory? how would you compare bass on jbls to factory? better or worse?
Got two sets of the infinity components for my wrangler and I’m super excited to put them in!!
Is it good to use jbl stage 9004a amplifier for jbl gto609c. I want to buy amplifier, please suggest me 🙏
Which capacitor do i need for the Infinity REF-4032CFX (4in) speaker?
400V - 1.5UF capacitor is good for passive bass blocker?
Can you please do a review on infinite kappa component ?? Thank you 😁
Nice vid
I been looking at kappa and GTO u might a swayed me to dem reference for $ & sound quality
What about JBLStadium 6.5 62f or infinity Kappa 6.5 63xf?
Yo man, great vids! Any chance you can do a video on ur system in the trunk?
I have been meaning to get around to that and just havent yet. But i will make a video soon of it!
I wanna see a review with the kappa speaker
Thanks for the video 👏🏽 I was confused between the two. In your opinion which is better between GTO609c vs Club 6500c ? Would love your expert opinion on this
I have the exact same question
@@ahmedhaji2721 get the club 6500. I ended up buying those and dont regret it. Great sound and punchy bass
@@ahmedhaji2721 get the 6500C. I got those and don’t regret it at all. Great sound clarity with punchy bass
I bought jbl gto609c and installed it with alpine headunit. Im not satisfied with the bass. Should i adjust something?
yes, get an amp and add sound deadening mat to the doors
I would like to see a video with the reference VS kappa
Just any 3 ohm speaker be powered as if it is a 4 ohm?
Yes, also your amp will push out more power for 3ohms.
I just got the 609c my self.. didnt install them though.. but like u said.. the net are full of possitives about them.. will use a amp on them(2x175rms) should be okey. And do same as you.. kill mats inside doors
They are great speakers, especially in that price range, thanks for watching!
@@tridelv702 will these fit a Mk6 Volkswagen Jetta?
@@willie123811 if your car has 6.5's then yes they will. If you are unsure, you can go on Crutchfield.com and put in your car info and they will tell you if it fits or not
how about Infinity Kappa 60csx vs jbl gto609C?
kappa wins hands down, bass and clarity will be better.
Infinity always have more bass and the tweeters is more crispy sound better
You liked and did all this for the person that criticized your initial video? That’s some real nigga shit. Subscribed.
Good looking out bro!
🤣👍🏽
Reference had clearly more of mid bass.
Reference series on four speakers with a good head unit doesn't need an amp for a clear and crisp sound
For me personally I have a kenwood dmx706s exceleon. I believe it's around 22 watts RMS per channel, I went from that to an alpine power pack 45 watts RMS per channel at 4 ohms, still wasn't enough now I have the NVX 800 watt that does 135 watts RMS per channel at 4 ohms and that was perfect for me. It brought all the speakers I have owned to their full potential 🙏🏾
I have kappas now but tbh I almost prefer the references may sound strange to say but I loved the references 🤷🏾♂️
@@tridelv702 Stock speakers have that, in and around that range but most of the components are @ 4 ohms load with around 70-90 RMS but even then the RMS doesn't count all.
For a 135 W RMS/channel, if its installed in four ways then even a decent pioneer head unit wont suffice, an an amp with atleast 150 W/channel will need to power those speakers.
NVX 800 amp would be sufficient, pardon me
@chetia666 yea I was going to say it's does 200 w per channel at 2 ohms and the references are rated 3 ohms (idk the math of that lol) but they definitely got enough power. My next set is going to be the hertz mpk 163.3 pro 3 ways with the stereo integrity SIQ 200.4 class A/B amp I can't wait 🙏🏾
@@tridelv702 stereo integrity 200.4 amp will cost around 100k in here (in local currency) and not sure whether if it's even available in here. It's kind of a mono block where one can run speakers with multiple ohm load.
This amp will run one sub of around 400 RMS @ 4 ohms and two components of 200 RMS @ 4 ohms or a sub of 800 RMS and 400 RMS speakers at 2 ohms resistance or may be 2 single coil subs of 800 RMS each.
Very few component speakers are over 100 RMS at 3 or 4 ohms.
I can't decide between these two speakers, I would take either the Alpine S2 S65C or the JBL GTO 609C for the car door. Of course, it would be connected to a Hifonix amplifier with a power of 4x135Watt/RMS with 4 Ohm OR 4x225Watt/RMS with 2 Ohm. Then I would need 4" speakers for the dashboard, which I would have to choose from is the Alpine S S40 (S2 S40) or the JBL Club4020, because I can't get anything else from JBL here in Europe. Now it's important that the speakers don't have that pounchi bass but that deep soft bass and the tweeters are not that important because those prominent trebles are really annoying to me and the middle tone is more important to me.I now have Hertz DSK170.3 speakers in my door and I'm not happy with them at all the bass is totally bad that strange pouncy bass, even though I have the doors insulated with Sound Deadener and foam specifically for car sound systems.
In the end I chose the Alpine S2 S65C but I haven't bought them yet, I bought the first Alpine S2 S40 for the dash and now it's much better than before with only the tweeters in the dash and the 6.5" in the door. Now I'll get these Alpine S2 s65Cs over the winter and I'll probably have to change the head unit as this Pioneer is kind of weird and I'd buy an Alpine or Kenwood or maybe a Sony.@nestooraguirre
You should get the Jbl Stadium 6.5 component and add the JBL Stadium 2inch component midrange.
Bro, kappa 60csx or ref6530cx which ones are better?
Ughhh this is such a hard question lol so i have the kappa 60csx currently thats what i upgraded to and ive been slacking on the comparison video.
Idk man i thought it was going to be a night and day difference and to me its not. Like i said i need to hook up both sets and do a comparison video and see really which one i like more because honestly i wasnt blown away by the kappas like i thought i was going to be.
I'll hook them up and let you know when i drop the video soon and let you be the judge.
If you are in a rush like you are deciding today, honestly idk if the price increase makes the kappas worth it over the references
@@tridelv702 I can buy them for the same price. A lot of people on Amazon are not happy with Kappa for that full price. Thanks for the review and answer
@@schnitzer434 yea i got them for a steal too from amazon i was thinking about getting the new kappa 603cf but they had the 60csx priced at 2 pair for $300 renewed so i did that instead. I almost wish i tried the new ones just to see the difference. Maybe ill grab them still and see how they compare and if i dont like them return them.
They arent bad they still sound good they just almost seem "duller" compared to the references.
Ive heard a lot of people have mixed feelings about them too.
I am really curios about the new kappas though
@@tridelv702 I like bright music, so I'll probably buy Reference. Thank you for your opinion!
@@schnitzer434 yea no problem!
lol.. I thought Infinity is the cheaper brand and JBL speakers are expensive, got the 609C paired with underseat subwoofer/built-in amp, ain't got space in my trunk because I got a retrofit propane tank
Underseat subwoofers are like, they neither serve any purpose, but are built specifically for that purpose.
main difference between JBL and Infinity is the overall tone...JBL is more live sound and infinity is more laid back and warm..
You think so? To me its almost the opposite. My references were so bright and loud where my GTOs seemed a lot more calm and warm. Even the Kappas that i have now are still really bright not quite like the references though
@@tridelv702 Rep from JBL explained it to me ages ago. Tweeters in the inifinitys have been similiar on the brightside through out the years, but the midrange is very laid back.
@@RyKoMedia thats interesting i would of never guessed thanks for the the info though! Thats good to know!
@@tridelv702 ive had infinity primus and referance..have the gtos on and infinity 5 channel right now....had polk before i like them thought i try these they sound pretty good lately im think of going to a 12 inch sub idk..but i think my 10 is worn out or cant handle amp. but i must say the gto's i feel are more laid back than the infinities i was thinking of going kappas not sure what the difference will be from the gto's...looking to get sound deadened soon as well.
Jbl fires in the lower frequency range and infinity in the higher. Both are some otherwise. Made by same company. Go with the sound you prefer. I prefer bass and mids and less high which is funny as im an old rock listener lol
I hate these type of reviews...this is a shit review that doesnt tell me much. Whats worse is these are 2 almost identical speakers. Playing music on youtube, my phone can not play well enough to distinguish different sounds.
The best would be to run a distortion test using an RTA and something like REW, so we can actually get an idea of not only what you think but see the frequency response of each speaker
