Customer Testimonial

I ordered a set of Kicker 8" subs for my truck from Sonic electronix. The order came very fast. The subs are great, and so was the customer service from Sonic. Thank you so much, and I will definitely be back.

Once again JL Audio is releasing some high quality products that are going to make your vehicle sound amazing. Lets hear what JL Audio says about the Evolution™ Series...

Evolution™ is serious product, engineered by JL Audio to meet the demands of the toughest acoustic and environmental conditions in the high-fidelity world. It is not about cute buzzwords or the exotic material of the month... it’s all about making your music come alive with realism and excitement.

Utilizing our extensive testing and development resources, each of the Evolution™ lines has been optimized to reproduce your music with lifelike balance, effortless dynamics and smooth response in the car. Particular emphasis has been placed on off-axis response and dynamic stability which might not be that important during a five minute evaluation on a demo board, but makes all the difference when installed in your car.

There are many less expensive products out there, and quite a few that are more expensive... So, do your homework and listen carefully, because no other piece of equipment makes a bigger difference in the sound of your system than your component speakers.

These speakers are excellent; very crisp highs, just enough midbass to keep you interested, and they are built with quality materials that will last.



I bought these to get just out of the entry level sets, but didn't want to pay big for the higher end speakers.



I am no audiophile, but these speakers bring music to life. I had a factory Bose system that these replaced, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. I also will no longer be using MP3 320 bit rate music with this system... They definitely bring out the imperfections of your source.



Overall, I am very happy with my purchase, and Sonic is the only place I go for my mobile electronics needs.



Thanks again!

these components sound amazing. if you are thinking of buying these but are not sure if you should, please take my advice and buy them. they sound incredible! the bass on the midrange is very strong and the tweeter just gives it that perfect clarity. when listening to Acoustic music like the Eagles song Hotel California the guitar sounds as if you were having a private concert, i also listen to creed and even their music sounds insanely good. i tested these components with Bass Head music, for those of you who like to compete you guys know how low the hertz can get on low bass music. well these components have been able to hit good low hertz with out distortion and even make my door mirrors flex. the bad is the cost of these speakers are pretty high but worth every penny, thats pretty much all the bad i have to say. the crossover is a good size its big but not that big. they can be hidden under the carpet in the front by your gas and brake pedal so no one can see what you have just hear the sound Quality. i have owned these JL Audio components for about 7 months and dont regret buying them. i love them a lot and i will never go back to the old brand i used to use for years.

The 130mm mid-woofer's frame architecture is shared with that used in 993s HiFi spkr option making a direct fit into the Transmission Line aligned bass reflex door mounted HiFi enclosures. The C5 soft dome tweeters also can be installed into the original curved door mounted tweeter pods, but a small amount of creativity is needed. The superb performance of the Jl Audio enhanced Porsche OEM HiFI option being run by the OEM Radio and Nokia amp will astound you. Install the XO supplied in the kit and bypass the crummy OEM mid-range of the HiFi option. An excellent Audio Upgrade awaits! You'll thank me.
