I consulted with Audio Installer Mike Pieceynski Best Buy store 1451 for my 2016 Nissan crew 4door. He was awesome and it felt more like an collaboration than …sell me some Kickers and on to the next install. His audio knowledge was right-on as we worked out the details and he was super excited to do this build. I knew I wanted to use the Alpine PDX 400w amp instead of replacing my factory head and a compact sub under the seat. He suggested the JBL BassPro 8” sub and JBL 6x9 3 ways in the front door panels and JBL 6.5 2 ways in the rear. I wanted clarity, every acoustical detail, like a live stage. He set the door speakers to mid and high only and w/ bass phased out of them. I listen to music using high end Sennheiser headphones and the reproduction of this setup in my truck is amazing (proper acoustic staging in an auto is impossible) but this sounds pretty awesome. He delivered! He offered to tweak it for me for free if I needed it later, but it sounds insane like it is. They are lucky to have Mike at their store and his work was exceptional.

With 180W peak power handling, these JBL GX602 2-way coaxial car speakers utilize 6-1/2" polypropylene cones to project robust, full-bodied sound throughout your vehicle as you cruise. The 50Hz - 21kHz frequency response offers high-quality tones.

I listen to music using high end Sennheiser headphones and the reproduction of this setup in my truck is amazing (proper acoustic staging in an auto is impossible) but this sounds pretty awesome. It sounds like the bass is coming from the speakers but its coming from the rear sub. It’s not booming bass. Its accurate studio recorded bass. Vocals are clear and in front, guitars soar. Keyboards and percussion are separated, and bass is solid on the bottom. Not all albums are produced the same, some good and some muddy, but this delivers clean live studio sound across almost all genres (I listen to a lot of West Coast Reggae, Rock, etc and equalizer set to Dance). The JBL speakers are awesome. Not sure how they sound stock without the bass phased out but I would recommend them. I did massive research on all the high-end brands and these offer value and quality!
With a 45Hz - 21kHz frequency response, these JBL GX963 3-way car speakers utilize 6" x 9" polypropylene woofer cones to deliver a complete range of lush, high-fidelity tones throughout your vehicle as you drive.

The JBL speakers are awesome!!! Not sure how they sound stock without the bass phased out but I would totally recommend them. I did massive research on all the high-end brands and these are up there... but even better value.

The JBL speakers are awesome. Not sure how they sound stock without the bass phased out but I would recommend them. And I was surprised by the BassPro because it adds the tight bottom end for an 8”. Most people want booming loud bass, to me it muddies the sound, but if that’s what you want this sub will not work.
Hear the difference in sound quality with this Alpine PDX amplifier. Specially engineered with a robust power supply, it produces a true clean signal with low distortion at 100 W for each of four channels. Mounting and installing this Alpine PDX amplifier is made easier with its stackable design and quick disconnect power/speaker terminals.
