JL Audio C1-690

C1 speakers deliver real substance and great audio performance in a format designed for easy fit behind factory grilles.

To facilitate fit, spacer/adaptor rings are included allowing the C1-690 woofers to be installed in bottom-mount applications. Surface and flush mounts are included with C1 tweeters for maximum installation versatility.

Equipped with a true, edge-driven, 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter, the C1-690 stands further apart from others in its category with superior high-frequency clarity and definition. The tweeter’s design has inherently excellent off-axis response and high-frequency extension. It also benefits from the damping of a silk surround suspension and Ferrofluid in the voice coil gap, along with the superior strength of a neodymium magnet circuit. An in-line, outboard 2nd order high-pass filter, with Advanced Tweeter Protection Circuitry, is included to further enhance smoothness and improve power handling.

2015 Ram 1500 Crew Cab

I just installed these in the front door of my 2015 Ram 1500, and they sound great! Paired with a Pioneer GM-D8704 and JL Audio 690tx in the rear doors. Nice punchy bass and quality tweeters, you can't beat the quality for this price! First time dealing with Sonic, and they have been absolutely fantastic! I won't buy from anywhere else!

Bang for your buck

Great product from JL audio and for the price can’t beat it. Installed in my 82 Chevy, really gives rich deep mids.

Good deal

As one of the cheaper component sets, I feel like these perform very well. Came with all needed hardware and for in factory locations with minimal modification (tweeters). Good low end with the woofers, good sound quality. My only complaint is I had to mount the crossover in the door and had no included hardware for that but i got it taken care of.

Such an improvment

Always wanted a solid pair of components but didn't want to get crazy. Great value in these speaker, the range is phenomenal!

Good bang for your buck

I like that these speakers come with separate tweeters. They work well with the stock receiver on my 2016 F-150. The metal clips don't stay on the Metra adapter that was free add on, but a little tape will keep them there for mounting.

Nice thump

Great mid-bass speaker. Have them hooked to just my head unit in my 21 trail boss and they put out great mid bass and great mid range sound. I wouldn't expect anything less from a JL product. Can't wait to get the 6.5 coaxials installed!!! Would recommend all day!!!
