Go with the c2 set with the RD amps and you’ll be set

Excellent review. You pretty much nailed it. I just had these installed and the improvement over the C3s is astounding. I have the C5s in my truck and your observation about the differences in the tweeters is spot on.

stellar midbass and smooth highs, what about the mids?

Lame! Haha! The C6 appeared on their website about 2 weeks after I bought the C3s. Darn the luck.

What’s your opinion on running these in a jeep gladiator as an active set up. Was originally planning on the m7 but might save a dollar or two going m6. I’m looking at line converters, amp also which sub would you recommend that you think will suit the m6’s. Thank you love your videos!!!

Before y’all complain, JL has entry level SQ components. The look on these is subtle but I bet they sound crystal clear running active. Hopefully JL continues to stay ahead of the curve” with Garmin.

I’ve had C3 coax in the rear, and C5’s in the front. The C5’s were utterly atrocious to tune, and the tweeter was WAY too loud on max attenuation. The C3’s sounded gorgeous and were super responsive to EQ adjustment. Very impressed. As these are down from the C7’s, are they as harsh?

What's your thought on Kenwood Excelon XR-1701P do you think it's worth its buck amp Kenwood Excelon XR401-4

What would you recommend in a small 2015 ford fiesta. I was thinking 2- 10 inch subs. But not sure where to start. I just want it to sound good. And give me decent hard hitting bass

Another longtime C5-650:user here(and the XR650-CS before that). Been waiting for these to drop, as they'll pretty much be the automatic choice in my next setup. Maybe active on a 900/5 with a 12W6. I'm still loving the C5-650 and 10W3 HO box that have been running trouble-free for 11yrs off a little XD500/3. One reason I've kept the same car all this time(along with it being an equally trouble-free Toyota) is that I still look forward to driving and listening every day.

The vxi/,000 will be perfect for these awesome

So good to hear the comparison with the C5 series as they were my recommended drivers until discontinued when I changed to Hertz Mille Pro.

My idea is to have woofer, mids and tweeters all in front and leave the door woofers in the back the way they are, but the truck doesn't have spots for 3" speakers anywhere.

I wonder how they sound compared to the C3's? Is one set of C6 worth two sets of C3's? Is there a quick audible difference between the two?

One thing that stood out to me when watching a JL Audio training video was that when running a passive crossover, it would take roughly 3x the power to reach clipping. Always run active to get the best clarity and it would require very little power. That would also explain why there power chart is such a wide range, bottom end for active and high end for passive crossovers

@CarAudioFabrication

Ай бұрын

Side note - The specs shown in the video are from the other product listings for when purchasing the woofer and tweeter individually.

Help please, say a single sub needs 16 sq inch per cube, a single sub in 2 cube needs 32 sq in, does adding a 2nd sub double that and turn it into 64 sq inch of port area? So that each sub has its 16 sq in per cube? Sounds crazy for that much, but I haven't found an answer anywhere that says port area is per cube or port area is per cube per subwoofer?

I’ve got an entire custom system in my regular cab truck done about 10 years ago by a local stereo shop. They did an amazing job using Slash series amps 300/4 and 600/1 along with four JL C2 6x9 door/rear speakers and 3.25” dash along with two 10” w3 subs in custom fit sub box. It’s getting dated and I make much better money and would like to upgrade but C7s were just a little too pricey for my DD work truck. It’s looking like these might be a better choice for my needs. Thank you for the info Edit to add: I used DB Euphoria Xpert EX6NCD on my Harley Road Glide Ultra and love them! How would you consider these JLs would compare sound wise? I can’t afford to just change out speakers to see what they sound like and there are no local stores that carry most of these higher end speakers to listen to in person!

are they Iron Core inductors? Does Active sound better because the crosovers have inexpensive components? Sand Cast Resistors & lots of metallic parts?

@blakebrockhaus347

Ай бұрын

Iron core inductors don't impact the sound until the iron is magnetically saturated, which takes a LOT of power. Sand cast resistors don't actually exist as a term in manufacturing or engineering, that word was made up by con-men. If anybody uses it, I'd be VERY skeptical of any of their other claims. Active sounds better because you can use steeper crossover slopes and time align more accurately.

I'm curious how they compare to the C7s in a side by side with the same amp.

No realated to these speakers but is it worth going 2 way active or should i keep it passive till i go 3way? Also would it be worth making a 3 way set up having woffer on one channle and making the tweeter and midrange on passive cross over on a channel together

@AT-wl9yq

Ай бұрын

Personally, I would just use them passive. However, passive xovers use a lot more of your amps power than active. With active, you can use a smaller amp, or even put the savings into a higher quality, smaller amp. Its really a judgement call on your part. Passives are also a plug and play install. You get a complete system and you know its all going to work properly.

I am starting to look for replacement speakers for my 2022 Elantra N. I think I may never upgrade the power (its decent), But I am concerned about replacing the midbass 6.5" drivers. The stock "Bose" system actually has pretty decent (read heavy) bass signature. I don't want to get a set that will lower the amount of midbass/bass coming out of the front doors. Do you think this set would do well?

@jp1087

Ай бұрын

Your stock Bose amp probably has preset non-adjustable crossover settings built in specifically for the stock speakers, and the resistance of the speakers & amps on some Bose systems is sometimes 2ohms or 8ohms, or even a combination. Some factory amps are even designed to reduce output on certain frequencies as you turn the volume up in order to prevent damage to the speakers. If you replace your speakers with aftermarkets and use your stock Bose amp to power them, you can play with the tuning on your head unit a little, but given that most are just "bass, mid, treble" settings, you don't really know what range of frequencies you are adjusting or what kind of power your new speakers are getting from the stock amp. And it may actually not sound as good as you would expect. When I replaced all of the mids/highs in my Yukon with a stock Bose system, I powered them with their own amp and kept the factory sub running on the factory amp. That way I was able to tune the overall sound better. The factory sub is more defined, and the mids/highs are more clear and full. I didn't get an aftermarket sub because I need all of my cargo space available. For you, I would suggest getting a small amp with built-in DSP to run your mids & highs if you replace them. Set your factory bass at what you like, then tune in your new mids/highs for a good balance. You may not be able to crank it because the amped mids/highs could easily overpower the factory sub, and it would eventually sound unbalanced, but at normal listening it would sound much better. What I've found is that if you're dropping good $$ for quality components and an amp, then it isn't too much of an add'l cost to add in a small sub since all of the legwork for amp wiring is already being done. At that point it's just an amp and sub. Or even a small powered sub.

Back in the day we used to say “if you ain’t got no highs and ain’t got no lows, then you must have Bose!” 😂 Having said this. I am now at the age where I still want some good SPL, but with improved quality. I replaced the stock “Infinity” speakers in my 2018 Elantra Sport Premium Package DCT with the current gen RS set of coaxials for the rear and center channel. And the components for the front. These were also 3 Ω so I get a tiny bit more from the factory amp. While they sounded leagues clearer and the treble much clearer and precise, overall, the system lost midbass as compared to the stock drivers… I also added a JBL Basspro Hub to the trunk. Once coupled in the spare tire well, it def added some punch. But still, overall the midbass isn’t there as before. But the rest is considerably better.

Inherently, the GM stock Bose systems all suck and sound flat no matter what tweaks you make. That's why I upgraded my Yukon system.. But the stock Bose system in my Altima is a different story, it sounds amazing as-is; and the amp is 3x the size of the one in my Yukon even though both systems have the same amount of speakers and both cars were from the same year. I had a Hyundai minivan that had the 12-speaker Infinity surround sound system. That was awesome too for a stock system, very clear even though it lacked a little on the bass. DVD's is where it truly shined though.
