JL Audio's Evolution C2 Series speakers

Side view of Evolution C2 speaker JL Audio's Evolution C2 Series speakers bring precision sound to your vehicle. They'll reproduce subtle elements of your music like delicate woodwinds or soprano vocals, then turn on a dime to deliver the deep thrum of the bass or thunder of the drums.


Silk tweeter delivers smooth highs

Features

Woofers: The JL Audio Evolution C2-525x coaxial speakers feature a 5¼" injection-molded, mica-filled polypropylene cone woofer with a butyl rubber surround. The woofer has 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 adequate bass, thanks to its ample 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.

Power Handling: JL Audio publishes several power specifications for this speaker, 60 watts continuous power handling (RMS), 225 watts peak music power, and 15-100 watts recommended amplifier power (RMS). We've listed the conservative combination of 15-60 watts RMS in the specs table.

Q
I plan on putting 2 good speakers in doors of my 2000 Ford ranger and some bass tubes behind my seats. So Iâ??m looking for the best for high and mid range sounds, are these what I should consider? C2 525x?

Unfortunately we don't carry any grille covers for these speakers.

Q
Would 20rms/80 peak watts from stereo be enough for good clean sound? I'm not trying to enter a competition I just want some good sound.

That amount of power would be good for a moderate level of sound, I've found these speakers live up to their potential while being amplified. But for day to day listening, the stock power coming from an aftermarket head unit should work just fine for you.

They are an excellent sounding speaker. I put a set in our Semi, and the sound is nice and clear.

If you're a true audiophile then no. If you don't mind tweaking the head units eq until it sounds perfect to you then yes. I run an amp to my subs and nothing to my component speakers. I did swap my door speakers for some aftermarket speakers and it made a world of difference still powered only by the head unit. I suggest looking for one of the packages crutchfield has. Upgrade till it sounds good to you then go one more upgrade.

I used these with a Kenwood base that was 75 rpm max. I have had great sound ever since, and I didn't break the bank to get great tunes out of there speakers.

Would be a great touch and cleaner sound for what you're looking for

Q
Are thise water resistance?
cisco  Mar 23, 2019

Hi, I would say they are moisture resistant due to the poly construction. If you want a good water resistant speaker I would go with the marine application. Either one will not disappoint . I put the set you are asking about in the doors on a GMC truck. But I also have a set of the marine speaker in my motorcycle fairing. Both the same size. Also the folks at Crutchfield won't steer you wrong. Good listening Brian

Q
I want to fit these in the rear deck of my 1993 SC400. I would have to make a new base to to bolt down for OEM placement. What diameter does the hole for the new base be for these to drop flush?
