About the JL Audio C7-100ct

Alexander H.

JL Audio's flagship car speaker series

Whoa... That's about all I could muster after demoing JL Audio's C7 component system at their headquarters. I was floored. Track to track, moment to moment, I was astounded by the clarity and presence reproduced by these speakers. Impactful loudness, rich detail, imaging that seemed almost magical — all of it facilitated an emotional connection that rivaled live performance.

Note: The C7 Series 6-1/2" woofer, 3-1/2" midrange, and 1" tweeter are all sold singly.

Immaculate highs

This C7-100ct aluminum alloy 1" tweeter features an edge-driven dome design that ensures your highs will be smooth, accurate, and distortion-free. JL Audio uses a specialized corundum coating that's nearly as hard as diamond to push breakup behaviors well beyond the audible range — you won't hear any harshness from this impressive tweeter. And with an elegant grille like no other for custom installation, this tweeter will look sharp no matter where you need to install it.

Make it part of an active system

The ultra-premium C7 Series has been years in the making, but its unveiling was contingent on JL Audio providing the ultimate tuning solution for optimal speaker performance — and that's TüN, their latest audio-tuning software. Each C7 speaker is sold à la carte to give you the freedom to design whatever system your ears desire. You'll need an active crossover to use C7 speakers — JL Audio recommends using their TwK™ 88 digital signal processor, which gives you access to the awesome sound-shaping power that TüN offers. The JL Audio engineers designed the C7-100ct to be neutral, without coloration, so that you can use TüN to craft exactly the right sound for you and your vehicle.

Product Research

Tweeter

Power Handling: JL Audio publishes several power specifications for this speaker, 100 watts continuous power handling (RMS), 200 watts peak music power, and 50-150 watts recommended amplifier power (RMS). We've listed the conservative combination of 50-100 watts RMS in the specs table.

Mounting Options: The tweeters can be surface mounted or flush mounted using the included housings.

Tweeter Dimensions:

  Frame Diameter Cutout Diameter Mounting Height Mounting Depth
Flush Mount 2.125" 1.875" 0.332" 0.85"
Surface Mount 2.16" N/A 1.04" Screw Depth (0.835")

Crossover: In addition to the active crossover JL Audio recommends using, they include a 15µF capacitor. In this case the capacitor acts as a noise filter, and should be used along with an active crossover.

Q
what crossovers would be suitable for these C7 speakers?

A
Crossover not applicable, Digital sound processor mandatory. ??????

The C7 speakers can only be run active. JL Audio does not make a passive crossover network for them.
david  Jun 23, 2021

You need to run a DSP (digital signal processor) that is an electronic type crossover. DSP I ran was Alpine PXE- 0850 to JL300/4 Slash Amps that powered my C7 components. JL and AudioControl Amps also have built in DSP's so there are many different ways to do it but stick with electronic crossover (DSP) these were not designed for passive crossovers which are the box looking crossovers.

24dB using the JLAudio vxi dsp crossovers. For mine I'm using 4,000 Hz high pass on tweeters at 24 dB slope. 3.5's bandpassed from 4,000 hz to 500 hz. Then 6.5's bandpassed from 500 down to 72 hz.
