Features

Woofers: The JL Audio Evolution C2-400x speakers feature a 4" injection-molded, mica-filled polypropylene cone woofer with a butyl rubber surround, a 1" voice coil on a Kapton Former, a symmetrical roll spider and a Ferrite magnet. These carefully engineered cones deliver the right combination of stiffness, damping, and off-axis response. The speaker also provides good mid-bass, thanks to its mechanical clearance, optimized suspension and balanced motor design.

Tweeters: Each coaxial speaker features a ¾" silk dome, ferrofluid-cooled tweeter with a damping neodymium magnet. The edge-driven silk dome tweeter is smooth, detailed (on or off axis), and provides great overall performance. Silk is lightweight and great for high frequency extension and efficiency. It is also designed for durability in the extreme automotive environment.

Grilles: Front-loading protective grilles are included, with black steel mesh and satin silver accents. Electroformed logo nameplates can be positioned on the grilles or elsewhere in the vehicle, according to the needs of the installation.

Mounting: The speakers can be mounted in most standard 4" speaker applications. They also include 4x6 adapter plates for mounting in 4x6 speaker applications.

Removable Mounting Tabs: Most 4" factory speakers use four mounting screws. However, in some vehicles, only two mounting holes are used. In these cases, you can bend any unnecessary mounting tabs on the C2-400x speakers until they break off. The tabs are scored specifically for this purpose. Care should be taken in handling the speaker because the broken edges may be sharp.

Power Handling: JL Audio publishes several power specifications for this speaker, 35 watts continuous power handling (RMS), 105 watts peak music power, and 10-50 watts recommended amplifier power (RMS). We've listed the conservative combination of 10-35 watts RMS in the specs table.

Q
Top marine 4 inch speaker that will fit in the space where the original speakers are on a 2012 Honda goldwing?
salkydog  Oct 16, 2023
1 answer
A
We cannot confirm any fitment on the 2012 Goldwing sadly as we have no information in our Vehicle Guide, Rick. Just taking a peek at the specifications on the 2012 Goldwings, it looks like the front fairing may have a 6.5" speaker, with a 5 1/4" in the rear. I see that some folks have had good results with Polk Audio and some slight trimming to the faring speaker mount location. The Polk Db in the link below is marine rated, has a fantastic sound quality, and can handle amplifier power if you add one later on. It is also available in 6.5", 5 1/4", and 4" variants, so make sure you take accurate measurements of the speakers you remove (and the mounting hole and depth) to confirm a good fit! We are always here to help. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_107DB652/Polk-Audio-DB-652.html

Hello can you confirm that the C2-400x will not fit to replace the fornt speakers in a 1986 560sl mercedes? thank you

A
Based on our measurements, it does not appear that the C2-400x will fit your vehicle's dash speaker location. However, it may be possible to custom mount the speakers. We do not have specifics in regard to custom mounting for this vehicle.

Could these be used in a motorcycle that will be subject to rain?

Greetings Scott, and thank you for your question. The JL Audio C2s are not rated for any moisture resistance. Technically they are car speakers. A good amount of water on them can cause them to fail.

Q
What is overall diameter with grill?
jeremy  May 16, 2021
1 answer
A
The grill outside diameter is shown as 5.20 inches. look under "what's in the box" and open the owner's manual for all the dimensions. they have a cardboard cutout template included too. I put mine in the kick panels of the Custom audio truck panels and analyzed those numbers careful before I purchased.

Will I need an amp for these speakers?

They are built to handle low power and not meant to be driven by an amp. We recommend using the radio power to run them

Most likely not. Alpine head unit powers it well.
