I shopped around and whenever I set my mind on purchasing something I do a lot of reviewing. My wife says I have a "Reviewing fetish" because I don't just buy something, I will review it until I am convinced! Well I purchased the JBL GTO938 mainly because of the excellent reviews that it got. I googled "What are the best 6x9 auto speakers" and there were several sites that listed the JBL GTO938 as the #1 6x9 speakers on the market. These sites listed the Infinity Kappa speakers at a close second. I installed the JBL 938 and GTO638 in my wife's car and these speakers are about as crisp and clear as your going to find. And as far as if they will last? I've only had them for about 1 month and they are going strong. Oh I forgot to mention, when I installed these I accidentally hooked these speakers up to a 1k watt amp that had the crossover set so that only signals below 50 Htz would get through!! Luckily I did not have the volume on the head unit up very loud. I heard a loud thump and figured I had pretty much blown these brand new speakers but to my surprise these speakers were not even fazed!!! If they can handle that then I would say these JBL's could probably last you for quite a long time. Hope this helps in your decision.

I'm running mine on my stock OEM amp and haven't had any problems. I may not be the best person to answer this since I'm not putting a lot of power through them.

I got exactly 3 months with these. They could have stopped because of the amp but doubtful

I am running these off a good after market deck with no amp. all I can comment on is sound quality is pristine. I'm sure if you push enough power on any 6 by 9 it'll blow..

That I'm afraid is a loaded question...lol. These will handle 100 watts RMS/300 watts peak. Now if you are driving them with an amplifier that puts out this much power but at say 10% or more distortion, you can easily toast them. If you are driving them with an amp of lesser power but high distortion....read inexpensive.... you can destroy them as well if you listen at very high volume. Bottom line is clean power comes at a price but it is worth it in the end if you like it loud.

not sure. i kept them for a few months before use and they still worked fine. it seems to me that they should last for a pretty long time

I understand that it is recommended to last for six months. I used it this past Spring to protect my peaches. It worked great, however when Spring 2014 comes, I will use new ones.

I've had mine in use for over six months and they are still burning strong. Not quite the 1-2 years but a good sign.

I only purchased them about 6 months ago so I cannot tell how long they will last. I highly recommend them because they work great and is very well made.

Go to Monolithic website and read up on these filters. I believe they are good for 6-8 months with the cleaning and shaking then should be replaced.

I'm sure they would last beyond a year. I've had mine for maybe 6-8 months and some have changed shape a little, but otherwise they are all perfectly fine!

In my usage I find you can keep using them probably 6 months or longer and I only use on one area at a time. Hope this helps you!!

Ive used them 6 plus times and they still have lots of "life" left in them. As long as you dont loose the top they will last a long time.

I used treated 2X4s and so far they've been fine except for a little warping. I've been waiting for them to really dry out before staining them.

No. And mine started to shorten with in months. The left one blew out in no time.

Afraid not! Mine failed and I only had them a little more than two months. I wish the design could keep them from shorting out.

They last a long time if you are careful - I only replaced my last one because I pushed on one corner too hard, bending it and stopping sand paper sticking properly. Would have been a few years old.

I would say no. Just toss and use another. I bought an extra pack of about 100 because the ones in the box is for just a one time use in my opinion.

I actually have no clue lol. But there were A LOT and they lasted me about 4 or 5 months.

I wouldn't know since I used them within a 7 month period once I bought them and without any problems. Since I do the bookkeeping for the American Legion and The United Veterans Burial Association an Honor Guard Service Organization in my hometown. And I do the monthly financial reports each and every month for both organizations. I am sorry that I couldn't answer your question. But I am sure that they would last a year or more since the quality of the work produced is of very high quality and I am very satisfied with it. Robert Joslin Silva 2nd Lt. U. S. Army Veteran.

I think technically they can last up to 6 months with proper/gentle sanitation practices, although it will become quite obvious when its time for a new one because they will start to disintegrate a bit...
