JL Audio TR650-CXi

good speaker

I bought these from a local dealer for a really really good price. I needed to replace the stock speakers in my saturn so these we goin to be much better anyway. Well I started with the doors and I was impressed. A week later got another pair for the rear, and man does it sound good. I have an older Pioneer deck, with hpf, although they sound good with it on, I believe they sound much better with it off. at high volume with the hpf they tend to be a little bright for me. but with it on the bass and highs sound perfect. jammin out in my car never sounded so good.

JL Audio TR650-CXi review

Very rich sound and brings out the high and lows. The cabin of my Mercedes Benz comes alive with lively sound.

Good products pay off

This is my 3rd set. I run them on JL amps for the best SQ. Think I'm happy look in the forums video contest 2010. Caddy EXT Dj Cadillac Bob. Just an example. I turned on my caddys system and shut the DJ equipment down at a carshow and the guy who brought the gen to run the carshow equipment asked if i was done with the power. HAHA I had already broke done the dj gear he was hearing my truck loud and clear across a very large parking lot. JL strikes again. If you got the extra coin flip it. You're going to get a good product from JL everytime. Thanks Sonic

Average Speakers

These speakers are average......rattle a bit with the bass.

Great Speaker.

I bought these speakers over a year ago to replace some very worn and abused factory speakers in a Saturn. They are great speakers. with just 6-1/2s in all locations(4) i had more bass then anyone would really want in a small car like that. I ran them off 3 different Pioneer headunits. Finally settling on a deh-6300ub (awesome unit). I eventually sold my sub and amp and just rocked these. Rock, Rap, Dubstep whatever these things killed it. Just sold my car, im sure the new owner will love them as much as i did. Probably going to have to replace the very worn and abused factory speakers that are in my new car as well..... hello JL!

Nice speakers

Entry JL is better than most mid level speakers from other speaker manufacturers. I had 4 of these in my jeep and they sounded very nice. Modestly amped and they sounded great.

JL TR650-CXi Review

I have upgraded my stock RAV4 front speakers with these TR650-CXi. What a difference they made. A more rounded sound with the highs very clear and the bass, absolutley sublime. I was thinking about putting a sub or an amp, but honestly the speakers on their own are fine. All I would need to do is upgrade the rears now. The bass is soo powerful and rich I could turn it down on the HU.

Pros: Great value and really improved my system, even at low volume the bass is still present and of great quality. Wish I had gone for the JL C2s now.

Cons
Wish they had Silk Tweeter Domes like the JL C2s

Good sound, but questionable power handling

I use these for the rear deck in my GTO, they fit well and the highs are very crisp and detailed. They are powered by a Clarion Dux385sat head unit, which supplies them with 20Watts RMS, which is well below the advertised power handling. The headunits volume goes to somewhere in the 30s, but anywhere above 24 these speakers break up and distort. I am certain its not the head unit because I've cranked other speakers with it and it sounded fine. A High pass filter at 200 Hz helped, but I still will replace these when I have some money to spend

Need a amplifier!!!!!!!!

I have owned 4 of these for around 4 years and am not as satisfied as most people that reviewed these!! First off these speakers need a 4 channel amp regardless of what your head unit is pushing. For 3 years i ran these without one. They do sound very crisp on the highs , but as for any bass/lows at all, there is none!! NONE at all!!! I am running these on a Kenwood KVT-717DVD head unit which is 50wattsx4. No bass at all out of these. I never really was concerned about it till i blew my Kenwwod 10" sub. I was not expecting anything great bass wise out of them but no bass at all, COME ON!!! I bought a 4channel jl amp (for way to much mind you) that is 400wattsx4 and now I am pleased. They sound amazing with a little juice running to them!! I also replaced my sub with a 10" Eclipse recently, WOW. I love Eclipse Audio f'ing slams. Have to turn off the bass somtimes cause I cant see straight!

I love JL Audio dont get me wrong but if my expieriences can help someone before they make this purchase then I will be as honest as possible. They are good speakers just get a freaking amp or you may be dissapointed like i was!! By the way these are at a very resonable price considering I paid 400+ for 4, 4 years ago,LOL!!!

If you just want a good sounding set of speakers you dont have to get an amp for then thesae are not them. Go cheaper and you will be more satisfied for sure.

Excellent Sound

Was time to replace the worn out front speakers in my 2001 Silverado. This truck came factory with components in the front but I did not want the expense or complications inherent in installing new components. These speakers went in perfectly without adapters and the sound is amazing. I run a 10" sub in a sealed box under the rear seat so bass not my concern. Chrystal clear sound and plenty loud even with just running them off my Pioneer DEH-7400-MP deck. I am sure you could amp these for more volume but that would be completely unnecessary. Had to play with the sound setting and EQ on the deck to get better sound but all in all very simple set up.
