I Get A Christmas Present, It Is The JBL GT7-6 Coaxial Speaker

A joy of Christmas is not complete without a presents. I also got one in this wonderful Christmas. I had unwrap it already, and here it is the present, JBL GT7-6 Coaxial Speakers.


The official web of JBL tells that this speakers is an ideal upgrade for OEM speakers which often comes in cheap. This GT7-6 is also an affordable upgrade. I check the price online is about US$40 to 45.

Specification wise, it is a 2 way coaxial speakers diameter 6,5 inch. That's it.



Not so much accessories we got here. Only pairs of speakers with the front grill, manual, and few screw. That's it all in the box.

I always appreciate the reputable company when do their packaging. They do it very right and securing well their product.

Double protective tape for only avoiding the scratch on the tweeter housing that no one will look at it after it is install in the door panel.



If you aware, last year, I also bought the JBL like in this post, it is much higher version than this GT7. The reason this GT7 might be more suitable for this application is because the wattage requirement is smaller and I will feed this speaker without any additional power amp.


I am using this GT7 as primary speakers of my Honda. It is sound wonderful combine with my SONY CDX CA900 head unit. Comparing to the previous speakers OEM along with Vifa tweeter setting in my car here, I can tell that this GT7 is way more headroom. I can play the music loud and clear without distortion.

I also should notice that I had bought an extra adapter for installing this speaker. This is will help to do the installation neat and tidy. I am not take a photo when doing the installation, but you know that is very basic speakers installation and the most important is the sound result:)

OPA1622 Vs. OPA627 High Performance Op-amps Comparison

This op-amps comparison topic is actually boring, but at the same time, many of us still curious about what others think about it. The reason is simply because of the op-amps variation are hundreds and they are depends by the implementation.

Vintage Multibit R2R DAC Tier List

At the very beginning of this year, I committed to explore the best multi-bit R2R DAC.

TDA1543 DAC Review In 2021

It is a fine day and as usual I am reading and searching online contents related to almost anything I like. During my search, I stop to the few online forum discuss about a simple DAC using TDA1543 DAC IC. The discussion about this DAC was about 3 years ago, and the latest was about a year ago. Quite new and overall discussion about this DAC sound quality mostly are positive. It is interesting topic anyway especially I was built this TDA1543 DAC long time ago in 2016. At that time, I combine this DAC with Tripath amplifier  here  and  here  before it sold in 2019. That is also my first DIY DAC and I am quite enjoyed this DAC so much, at that time. The background story about this, previously I was using Sony Playstation SCPH-1002 as my reference CD Player. The reason I moved to this TDA1543 DAC is because the CD optic inside the Playstation is wear out and I cannot find the replacement for it. I pretty remember the sound quality of this TDA1543 DAC is quite comparable...
