From all the positive reviews on this thread on the JBL GTO 638 speakers, I pulled the trigger. I purchased from Amazon for $54.95 plus shipping, a total of about $64.00. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread.

The GTO638's arrived @ an hour ago.
The GTO638's are marked as 2 Ohm speakers, but measure @ 2.8 Ohms according to Mr. Fluke.
The OEM woofers are marked as 3.8 Ohms, but measure @ 3.3 Ohms according to Mr. Fluke.
One other minor observation. The Tweeter/Midrange stalk is fixed and you have to mount them upside down. Being such, you can not balance the treble with both tweeters either on the inside or the outside.
Not sure what your saying as I don't really understand ohms but I do know that they sound a hell of a lot better than stock.Originally Posted by ths61

The lower the Ohm rating in the speakers, the more power they source from the amp. This results in more volume if the amp is capable/stable for the increased demand on it. If the amp is not stable at that load, it is not good for the amp.
A "perfect" amp will double its power output as the resistance halves until it hits its stability limits. (Example: 350wpc/8 Ohms, 700wpc/4 Ohms, 1,400 watts/2 Ohms).

What part of the speaker needs to be bent, I don't want to cut on the speaker.
9: and 3 ocklock approximately.
Look closely at my pictures on the first page of this thread.
There is the instrument glass and metal supports on the outside.
I bent the baskets with a rubber mallet and did no trimming.
Start the top in first, add sctews, then take a flat screw driver and hammer and tap the bottom of the speaker in flush.
Keep the holes lined up as you do this.
The bottom of the speaker has to be flush for the shelter to snap back on correctly.
Some are cutting the basket. Go back a few pages in this thread to see what has been cut. Don't cut into the rubber.
