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!

December 14, 2011 Porsche 911 993 w/ HiFi option install

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.
