JL Audio C2-600 Component Speaker System
330,00 €
JL Audio C2-600 is a two-way component speaker system for car audio. Its 150 mm woofers/midrange drivers have multiple mounting-hole patterns for locations suited to this format. The separately mounted 19 mm silk-dome tweeters can be positioned to suit the cabin, while the included crossovers offer three tweeter level settings.
JL Audio C2-600 is a two-way component speaker system for car audio, sold as a pair. Its woofers/midrange drivers and silk-dome tweeters are mounted separately, so you can choose a tweeter position that suits the cabin instead of placing the high frequencies at the main speaker opening. When considering this system, start with two practical questions: whether your car has a suitable 150 mm speaker location and where you want the tweeters to sit.
Installing the speakers in your car
The 150 mm format can be useful in many Japanese cars where fitting a 165 mm speaker would require changes to the mounting location. The stamped-steel frames have multiple mounting-hole patterns, giving you more ways to secure the drivers in a location intended for this size. The format alone does not confirm a fit, though. Before choosing the C2-600, compare your car’s opening and fixing points with the speaker, and check the available space behind the opening.
The woofers/midrange drivers use mineral-filled polypropylene cones to reproduce low and mid frequencies. They are designed for greater cone travel, which gives the system a pronounced midbass foundation. That character is worth considering alongside the mounting space: the main drivers need to be installed securely, while the separate tweeters give you freedom to work on the position of the higher frequencies.
Choosing a tweeter position
The 19 mm silk-dome tweeters can be flush-mounted or surface-mounted, and the hardware for both methods is included. Flush mounting is an option when the trim has a suitable opening for the tweeter. Surface mounting lets you choose another position without that recessed opening. Decide where the tweeters will go before fixing the mounting parts permanently, taking account of the trim and your usual listening position.
The silk domes are intended to produce smooth high frequencies that remain broadly audible when you are not sitting directly in front of a speaker. Separate mounting lets you adapt their position to the shape of the cabin. If several positions look practical, listen to them before settling on one. A familiar recording can help you judge where voices and high-frequency details blend most naturally from the seat you normally use.
Crossovers and sound adjustment
The included crossovers divide the signal between the woofers/midrange drivers and the tweeters. Their construction uses Mylar capacitors and segmented air-core inductors. The crossovers are compact, so you can plan their positions alongside the other parts of the installation. Allow a place for a crossover on each side of the car, and connect each driver to the output intended for it.
Each crossover offers three levels of tweeter attenuation. This adjustment is useful if the installed tweeters sound too prominent at your listening position. Start with one setting, play a recording you know well, then compare the other settings from the same seat. Make the final judgment after the speakers are installed: tweeter placement affects the balance you hear. The crossovers also contain a tweeter protection element.
Included grilles and finish
Grilles are supplied for the woofers/midrange drivers. Each has a black base with satin-silver accents and a black steel mesh carrying an electroformed JL Audio logo. They give a visible installation a consistent finish with the rest of the system. Before fitting them, check that the chosen trim location leaves enough room for the grilles as well as the drivers.

FAQ
Who is this system for?
It is for a car audio installation where you want separate woofers/midrange drivers and tweeters. The separate tweeters give you more choice over where to place the high-frequency speakers in the cabin.
Will the C2-600 fit my car’s 150 mm speaker location?
The C2-600 is a 150 mm system. In some Japanese cars, this size fits a location where a 165 mm speaker would require changes. Check your particular car’s opening, fixing points and space behind the opening before deciding.
Are grilles included for the woofers/midrange drivers?
Yes. You can use them to finish a visible mounting location. Check that there is enough room for them in the chosen trim position before fastening them.
Which tweeter mounting method should I choose?
Flush mounting needs a suitable opening in the trim. Surface mounting lets you choose another position when that opening is unavailable or you do not want to prepare one. Hardware for both methods is supplied.
When should I change the tweeter level?
If the high frequencies sound too prominent from your chosen listening position, compare the crossover’s three attenuation settings. Assess the balance after installing the speakers, because the tweeters’ position affects what you hear.
Where should I mount the crossovers, and how do I connect the speakers?
Plan a place for a crossover on each side of the car. Connect the woofer/midrange driver and tweeter on that side to their respective outputs on the crossover.
