1" (25 mm) Silk Dome Tweeters

About the JL Audio C3-100CT
From our tech experts at CEN

Who it suits

Our tech experts advise
Placement and aiming change the result more than the tweeter does, and the supplied crossover exists so the tweeter is never asked to play too low. get in touch if you are unsure how these would integrate. 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: Do the JL Audio C3-100ct tweeters include crossovers?
A: Yes. Inline 12 dB/octave high-pass filters with tweeter protectors are included. The tweeters are designed to operate above 4 kHz with a minimum 12 dB/octave slope.
Q: Can the C3-100ct be mounted coaxially on a woofer?
A: Yes, on C3 woofers, using the coaxial fixtures supplied with C3 Component / Coaxial Systems. Flush-mount and surface-mount fixtures are also included.
Q: What power do the C3-100ct tweeters handle?
A: They are rated at 75W RMS continuous and 225W peak with the supplied crossover, with 25 - 150W RMS per channel recommended.
