About the Lightning Audio L5-S

Alexander H.

Lightning strikes every time

Lightning Audio puts their car speakers through rigorous tests to guarantee reliable performance. When you play your Lightning Audio L5-S 5-1/4" component speakers for the 500th time, you can be sure they'll sound as good as or better than the first time you fired them up.

Separate components for a stronger image

With the addition of component speakers to your system, you'll gain a better stereo image across your dash, revealing nuance in the music you love. The L5-S's rugged 5-1/4" mica-injected polypropylene cone handles the low frequencies, while the separate 1/2" Mylar balanced dome tweeter will deliver accurate highs for a rich, satisfying sound. And with power handling up to 40 watts RMS, you'll be in good shape to crank your tunes with a factory radio or an aftermarket stereo, but adding an aftermarket amp will really make them sing.

Features

Tweeter Mounting: The tweeters offer multiple mounting options; choose a flush mount, surface mount, or angled surface mount. The tweeters are shipped in the flush mount housings and the angled surface mount housings are included. The back of the flush mount housing and the top of the angled surface mount housing combine to create the (non-angled) surface mount housing. Once installed in any of the housings, the tweeter will pivot slightly to optimize imaging. Depending on mounting, the dimensions are:

  Flush Surface Angled
Mounting Height 0.296" 1.075" 1.658"
Mounting Depth 0.781" Screw Depth Screw Depth
Frame Diameter 2.111" N/A N/A

Q
is it amplifier necessary for this speaker on Sony XAV-V631BT ?

No amplifier needed , I think they sound very good and thumpy without added power after there broke in.
guy  Dec 29, 2017

every speaker needs an amplifier of some kind, this one does not include one so you can use the amplifier in your head unit if it has one, or you will need and auxiliary amp.
shane  Dec 29, 2017

Probably not necessary. I'm running them amplified, but only about 45 watts. Especially if you're just upgrading from stock, I'd imagine you'll be fine. They're decent speakers.

Hello i have a 2002 bmw 330ci with Harmon Kardon audio without the nav system. I was woundering if the tweeters that come with this set fit where my factory ones are now? It does not mention anything about the tweeters unless i missed it.
