JBL GTO75.4 II - End of the era

[ani 10+ year member]

Anyone using these amps ? I picked mine up brand new about 2 years ago and its still going strong.

I read somewhere that JBL has introduced a new line and the GTO series is being discontinued.

I think this is a spanking amp, even used it bridged for my sub and it performed better than the JBL 300.1 Mono(which I sold //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif)

Anyway lets hear some tributes to this beauty !

Never used them BP's but from what my friend told me it produced some decent power for that size and prize!!

Im thinking of buying another 75.4 II just to hoarde!!

I have a GTO75.2 that I love. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

youre right, its a great amp. I wish I had matching amp all the same, but the other ones I would need wont fit under my seat.

The new design are on the website.

They are still the "GTO" series, atleast the cosmetics are redesigned not sure if anything internally change (haven't investigated it that thoroughly.....just hoped on the page the other day to look something up & saw the new designs w/ different model #'s).

I have a pair of 75.4II's currently aswell as a 1201.1II, and am half tempted to grab another 75.4II off of fleabay before they dry up. Can never have too much power or too many channels //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

From what I gathered in the Press Release they have launched a new line, the GT5 Series. This is in addition to the GTO 7 series/CS series.

This GT5 line is probably placed a little above the entry level CS and below the GTO. I doubt they use the same platform as the GTO's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I've got the Infinity brethren, the 7541a, and absolutely love it. Harmon is currently selling a bunch of factory direct refurbs on eBay with a $0.99 no reserve start.

Whoah! you bridged it to run your 6.5 fronts/ What drivers are those?

Currently I run my JBL 6.5" fronts and my 15" Sub(250rms) off this baby.

Running active is different from bridged.

Active means he has one channel per driver.

I'm running mine bridged to my front components though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
