Which JL Audio speakers should I choose?
The C1 Series is the entry point, offering coaxial and component speakers designed to fit behind factory grilles with minimal modification — well suited to an OEM upgrade. The C2 Series steps up with silk dome tweeters, higher sensitivity figures and greater power handling across a wider range of sizes including 3.5" and 6". The C1-650se bridges the gap, pairing C1 woofers with 1" silk dome tweeters. The C3-650 is a 6.5" convertible system that installs as either a component or coaxial set and offers twelve crossover voicing combinations for more precise tuning.
The C6 Series uses cast-alloy-frame woofers with passive crossovers offering four levels of tweeter adjustment, available as a 2-way or 3-way 6.5" system. The C7 Series is JL Audio's flagship tier, built for active multi-way systems with dedicated amplifier channels and DSP tuning — all C7 drivers are sold individually rather than as complete sets. The Custom Fit (CF) Series mid-tweeters use shallow polymer frames and breakaway mounting tabs to drop into factory dashboard and trim locations with minimal modification.
JL Audio Speakers FAQs
Q: What is the difference between JL Audio coaxial and component speakers?
A: Coaxial speakers integrate the tweeter into the woofer basket as a single unit for a simpler fit; component systems supply the tweeter and woofer separately, allowing independent placement. JL Audio offer both types across the C1 and C2 Series.
Q: Do JL Audio C1 and C2 Series speakers fit behind factory grilles?
A: Yes, both series are designed to fit behind factory grilles with minimal modification; the C1-650x also includes adaptor rings for 6.5" and 6.75" openings to simplify installation.
Q: What is the difference between the C1-690x and the C1-690tx?
A: The C1-690x is a 2-way 6x9" coaxial with a single 1" aluminium dome tweeter, while the C1-690tx is a 3-way design that adds a 0.75" aluminium dome super tweeter; both are rated at 60W RMS.
Q: Are C7 Series speakers sold as a pair?
A: No, C7 Series drivers are each sold individually — order two woofers or two midrange units for a stereo pair. The C7-100CT tweeter is also a single unit.
Q: Can CEN fit JL Audio speakers at their Nottingham workshop?
A: Yes, CEN's fitting workshop in Beeston, Nottingham can professionally install JL Audio speakers in your vehicle — contact the team to discuss your car and the speakers you have in mind.
