JL Audio C1-525x 5.25 inch (130 mm) Coaxial Speaker System

Factory speakers tend to sound thin and break up once the volume goes up. The C1-525x coaxial speakers are a direct upgrade that keeps the tweeter and woofer in one unit, so it usually goes into the factory location.

Coaxial Speaker System: 5.25 inch (130 mm) Woofer, 0.75 inch (19 mm) Aluminium Dome Tweeter C1 speakers deliver real substance and great audio performance in a format designed for easy fit behind factory grilles. C1 woofer drivers benefit from proprietary FEA modelling and JL Audio's expertise in low frequency driver design. This knowledge is used to create speakers that can play loudly, while maintaining a smooth, dynamic, low distortion sound.

Key features

• At the core of the C1 to 525x is a proprietary, stamped, steel 5.25 inch (130 mm) frame and a DMA-optimised motor system
• Tinsel leads are carefully routed and attached to the spider to prevent fatigue and buzzing
• These are the same kinds of features and materials normally found on much more expensive loudspeakers
• The tweeter’s design has inherently excellent off axis response and high frequency extension
• A true, 2nd order high pass filter is employed to further enhance smoothness and improve power handling
