JL Audio Evolution C5 Series Mid-Range Component Speaker

Evolution™ C5 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. C5 woofers are precision-built in Germany alongside JL's flagship ZR components, incorporating their exclusive DMA-optimized motor and patented Elevated Frame Cooling technologies. 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. The driver features a die-cast alloy basket and renowned Kurt Müller designed cone and suspension.

JL Audio Linearity and Control

Unparalleled Build and Precision

DMA is JL Audio's proprietary Dynamic Motor Analysis system and is aimed at improving dynamic motor behavior. As a result of DMA optimization, Evolution C5 motors remain linear in motor force over an extreme range of excursion and also maintain a highly stable fixed magnetic field in the gap over a wide power range. This leads to vastly reduced distortion and faithfully reproduced transients... or put simply: tight, clean, articulate low end. In addition, JL Audio turns to their partners at Germany's Dr. Kurt Müller & Co. for critical cone and suspension elements that provide unparalleled woofer performance.

great for the price

I installed two of these in a 1989 Toyota Corolla. Although the automated 'does this match your vehicle' system said it did not match, these speakers fit perfectly. What did not fit were the original cable crimp connectors that had been plugged in to the factory speakers. I had to cut the wire and put in new crimp connectors. That was it. The sound from the speakers blew me away.

perfect sound.

This is actually a speaker that i purchased here at sonic electronix to replace the original 4 inch c5 speaker that blew out after 3.5 years of abuse. It is definitely a great sounding speaker and i am glad that sonic electronix had it in stock. I also happened to purchase my jl audio C5 components from sonic back in 2012 and a few other electronics, i trust buying from sonic because they stand by the products they sell. Every now and then you get a defective product right out of the box. Thankfully sonic electronix has never accused me of missed using a product and gladly send me a replacement with no problem. This speaker came perfect and worked flawlessly out of the box. It was also shipped to me extremely fast free of charge. Thank you sonic!
