JL Audio C6-653
The JL Audio C6-653 is a 6.5″ (16.5 cm) three-way component speaker system born from the same DNA as the flagship JL Audio C7. It pairs a top-flight full-frame 6.5-inch woofer with a 2.75-inch midrange and a 1-inch pure silk dome tweeter to create a loudspeaker system with exceptional refinement and dynamic capability. Adjustable passive crossovers, cast-alloy woofer frames with Elevated Frame Cooling and included grilles make it a complete high-end front stage.
