JL Audio C2-600X Speakers
280,00 €
JL Audio C2-600X is a pair of two-way coaxial car speakers. Each speaker combines a 150 mm mineral-filled polypropylene woofer with a 19 mm silk dome. Multiple frame mounting patterns make the pair easier to fit in many 150 mm or 165 mm locations. The low-profile tweeter helps retain factory grilles where sufficient internal clearance is available. Protective grilles are also included.
JL Audio C2-600X speakers are a two-way coaxial car speaker system. The set includes a pair of 150 mm speakers and protective grilles. Each speaker features a 150 mm woofer with a centrally mounted 19 mm silk-dome tweeter.
This pair is intended for buyers replacing two speakers in a car while retaining a coaxial design. Both frequency ranges are reproduced from a single mounting position, so a separate location is not required for the tweeter.
Construction and materials
The woofer cone is made from mineral-filled polypropylene. This is an important point when comparing this model with speakers that use paper or other cone materials. Its long-excursion design allows the cone to move through a greater range.
The cone is installed in a stamped-steel frame. The frame provides several mounting-hole patterns, giving the installer more options when aligning each speaker with the existing mounting points in the vehicle.
The tweeter uses a 19 mm genuine silk dome. It is positioned in the centre of the coaxial assembly and projects only slightly above the frame. This low-profile construction makes installation behind many factory grilles easier.
Choosing a mounting location
The nominal 150 mm size fits many vehicle applications directly. The frame’s mounting patterns are also designed for many locations intended for 165 mm speakers. However, a 150 mm or 165 mm size designation does not by itself guarantee a mechanical fit in a particular vehicle.
Before purchasing, compare the mounting-hole diameter, installation depth and mounting-screw positions. You should also check the clearance behind the door trim or factory grille. There must be sufficient room behind the speaker for its frame and magnet, as well as any moving parts inside the vehicle.
A door mechanism may move very close to the speaker. For that reason, check the position of the window when it is fully lowered before securing the speaker permanently. Multiple mounting options can make installation easier, but they do not replace the need to measure the specific mounting location.
Connecting the speakers to the car audio system
The pair is intended for the left and right channels of a car audio system. Connect each speaker to its assigned channel and use the same polarity on both sides. Consistent wiring helps the two speakers operate in phase.
The vehicle’s original connector may not match the replacement speaker. If that is the case, choose a wiring adapter made for the specific vehicle. Speaker diameter does not indicate electrical compatibility, so an amplifier must not be selected solely on the basis of the 150 mm format.
If you are replacing only one pair of speakers in the vehicle, use the set for one matching pair of channels. Do not install different speaker models on the left and right sides. Using the pair together maintains the same speaker construction on both sides.
Grilles and visible trim
Two woofer grilles are supplied with the set. Each grille has a black base with satin-silver accents. A black steel mesh covers the speaker, while an electroformed JL Audio logo completes the finish.
The included grilles are useful when the speakers will be installed in a visible position. If you plan to retain the vehicle’s factory grilles, check the available internal clearance first. The minimally protruding tweeter dome is designed to make this type of installation easier.
How to choose this set
Choose this set only when the actual mounting-hole diameter, installation depth and fastening dimensions match the speaker frame. Nominal speaker sizes are useful for narrowing down the options, but measurements from the intended location should determine whether the speakers are suitable.

FAQ
Will these speakers fit a 165 mm mounting location?
The frame’s hole patterns are designed for many 165 mm locations. You must still compare the mounting-hole diameter, installation depth and screw layout with the available space in your vehicle.
Can they be installed behind the factory grilles?
The low-profile tweeter is designed to support this type of installation. Before fitting the speakers, check the internal clearance behind the factory grilles in your particular vehicle.
How should the pair be connected to the car stereo?
Connect one speaker to the left channel and the other to the right channel. Maintain the same polarity on both sides so that the speakers operate in phase.
Could I need a wiring adapter?
Yes. An adapter may be required if the vehicle’s factory connector does not match the speaker connection. Select the adapter according to the connector used in the specific vehicle.
Which installation dimensions should I check?
Compare the mounting-hole diameter, installation depth and mounting-screw positions. Also check the clearance from the speaker to the door trim, grille and any moving components.
Why does the coaxial design matter during installation?
The woofer and tweeter are installed at the same mounting point. This means that you do not need to find a separate installation location for the tweeter.
Can I replace only one faulty car speaker?
The set is sold as a pair, so it is best to replace both speakers connected to the same pair of channels. This maintains the same speaker construction on the left and right sides.
