JL Audio C1-690tx 6x9" 3-way Coaxial Car Audio Speakers #99047 - Pair
C1-690txCoaxial 3-Way Speaker System: 6 x 9-inch (150 x 230 mm) Woofer, 1.0-inch (25 mm) Aluminum Dome Tweeter, 0.75-inch (19 mm) Aluminum Dome Super Tweeter. 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 C1-690tx to be installed in bottom-mount applications.
What sets C1 apart?
JL Audio designed the JL Audio C1-690tx speakers to be the very best they could be for the price. You'll find solid construction and finish, along with some eye-popping flair in its striking yellow mineral-filled polypropylene woofer. That woofer delivers impactful lows and is specially designed for a natural roll-off transition to the highs handled by the tweeter. And it's the aluminum edge-driven tweeter that gives the C1 Series its distinctive sound, setting it apart from other speakers at this price. You'll hear crisp detail in the high frequencies, incredible imaging, and minimal distortion no matter how you power them.
Why no grilles?
Most folks have no use for aftermarket grilles, opting to use their factory grilles for a streamlined look. With that in mind, JL Audio doesn't include grilles with the JL Audio C1-690tx, opting instead to incorporate those savings into building an all-round better speaker.
C1 woofer drivers benefit from proprietary FEA modeling and JL Audio's expertise in low-frequency driver design. This knowledge is used to create speakers that can play loudly, while maintaining a smooth, dynamic, low distortion sound. At the core of the C1-690tx is a proprietary, stamped, steel 6 x 9-inch (150 x 230 mm) oval frame and a DMA-optimized motor system. A mineral-filled, injection-molded polypropylene cone is suspended with a rubber surround on the front, and a carefully engineered flat Conex® spider at the top of the voice coil, to precisely control motion and prevent impact between the voice coil and the back plate. Tinsel leads are carefully routed and attached to the spider to prevent fatigue and buzzing. These are the same kinds of features and materials normally found on much more expensive loudspeakers.
Equipped with dual true, edge-driven, aluminum dome tweeters, the C1-690tx stands apart from others in its category with superior high-frequency clarity and separation. The design of each tweeter delivers inherently excellent off-axis response and high-frequency extension. Both high-frequency drivers also benefit from the damping of silk surround suspensions and Ferrofluid in the voice coil gaps, along with the superior strength of neodymium magnetics. A true, mixed order filter network is employed to further enhance smoothness and improve power handling.
The JL Audio C1-690tx are starter speakers like no other. After an extensive tour of JL Audio HQ, their engineering and development team talked about the current JL Audio lineup and upcoming projects. Given all the work they're doing with premium car audio, many were surprised by how excited they were for customers to hear their workhorse C1 Series speakers. Designed for drivers simply looking for a sensible factory speaker replacement, not necessarily an audiophile-grade solution. Every JL Audio speaker must uphold the quality and sound associated with the name. You may be looking for something that's just listenable, but what you'll get with the JL Audio C1-690tx is an audio experience that puts it at the top of its class. And then, just maybe, you'll end up being a JL Audio fan for life.
