C2 Series 6 x 9-inch (150 x 230 mm) 3-way coaxial speaker system
3-way coaxial system comprising a 6 x 9 inch (150 x 230 mm) woofer, 2 inch (51 mm) cone mid-range, and 0.75 inch (19 mm) silk dome tweeter.
The C2 Series delivers detailed high frequencies, smooth mid-range and strong mid-bass, using real silk dome tweeters and precision-engineered woofer designs.
The C2-690tx woofers use mineral-filled polypropylene cones, long excursion capabilities and stamped steel frames, developed using JL Audio's advanced woofer modelling experience.
The 6 x 9 inch (150 x 230 mm) format is a direct fit in many vehicles.
The mid-range driver uses a 2 inch Mylar® cone diaphragm and is ferrofluid-cooled, bridging the gap smoothly between woofer and tweeter.
The 0.75 inch silk dome tweeters are mounted next to the mid-range driver and deliver smooth, extended response on and off axis. The compact tweeter profile allows the C2-690tx to fit behind most factory speaker grilles.
Woofer grilles are included, each consisting of a black grille tray with satin silver accents and a black steel mesh grille with an electroformed JL Audio logo.
Sonic character: Clean and Dynamic.
Sold as a pair.

About the JL Audio C2-690tx
From our tech experts at CEN
JL Audio C2 Series 6x9 inch coaxial speakers, with the tweeter mounted in the centre of the woofer, rated at 70w RMS.
Who it suits
Drivers replacing tired factory speakers who want a clear improvement without relocating tweeters. C2 adds noticeably more detail and output for a modest step up.
Our tech experts advise
Sizes, adapter rings and harnesses vary by vehicle, year and trim, so we confirm what your car takes before ordering. Door treatment matters as much as the speaker, and JL drivers repay an amplifier. Installation is priced per vehicle, so get in touch with your make, model and year and we will confirm what it needs. See car audio installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these speakers fit my car?
A: Most car speakers are standard sizes, but mounting depth and fitting rings vary by vehicle. Check the size in the Specification tab against your vehicle, or contact CEN with your registration and we will confirm fitment and any adapters or fitting kits you need.
Q: Do I need an amplifier to run these speakers?
A: Not always. Most speakers will run from a standard head unit, but a dedicated amplifier lets them perform at their best, particularly for component sets and higher power handling models. The RMS figure in the Specification tab is the guide to how much clean power they can use.
Q: What is the difference between coaxial and component speakers?
A: Coaxial speakers combine the tweeter and woofer in one unit for a simple like-for-like upgrade. Component sets separate the tweeter and woofer with a crossover for better imaging and detail, and suit installs where sound quality is the priority.
Q: Do these come as a pair?
A: Unless stated otherwise, car speakers are sold in pairs. Check the product title and What's Included tab, which lists exactly what is in the box.
Q: Can CEN fit these speakers for me?
A: Yes. CEN offers professional installation from our Nottingham premises. Contact us to book an installation slot or ask for a fitting quote.
Q: Is the JL Audio C2-690tx a 2-way or 3-way speaker?
A: It is a 3-way coaxial with a 6x9 inch woofer, a 2 inch Mylar® cone mid-range and a 0.75 inch silk dome tweeter.
Q: Are grilles included with the C2-690tx?
A: Yes. Each woofer comes with a black grille tray with satin silver accents and a black steel mesh grille with an electroformed JL Audio logo.
Q: What power does the C2-690tx handle?
A: It is rated at 70W RMS continuous and 225W peak, with 15 - 125W RMS per channel recommended.
