About the Lightning Audio L5-S
Lightning strikes every time
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" |

Wiring: Each woofer has two sets of wire terminals, shorted together. The tweeter wire connects to one set and the amplifier to the other.
