JL Audio C1-650 6.5" (165 mm) 2 Way Component Speakers, 50 W RMS

Thin, muddy factory speakers are the most common complaint we hear about car audio. The C1-650 is a component speaker system with a separate tweeter, so you can mount it higher and get a clearer sound stage.

2 Way Component System: 6.5 inch (165 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. To facilitate fit, multi application adaptor rings are included for the C1 to 650 woofers, allowing easy, drop in installation in vehicles equipped with oversized 6.5 inch and 6.75 inch speaker openings. Without the ring, the woofers will also fit into many “6 inch” speaker locations as well.

Key features

• Surface and flush mounts are included with C1 tweeters for maximum installation versatility
• 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
• At the core of the C1 to 650 is a proprietary, stamped, steel 6.50 inch (165 mm) frame and a DMA-optimised motor system
• Tinsel leads are carefully routed and attached to the spiders to prevent fatigue and buzzing
