JL Audio C1-525x
The JL Audio C1-525x is a 5.25″ (13 cm) two-way coaxial car speaker built on the C1 philosophy: incredible performance at an unbeatable price. A DMA-optimised woofer with a mineral-filled polypropylene cone delivers loud sound with minimal distortion, while a true edge-driven aluminium dome tweeter adds crystal-clear highs. With a moderate 62 mm mounting depth and minimal tweeter protrusion, the C1-525x drops into most factory speaker locations and fits behind OEM grilles.
