About the JL Audio C7-650cw

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.

Dream woofer

This C7-650cw 6-1/2" woofer will bring satisfying midbass to your dream system. It'll endure heavy use and extreme temperatures thanks, in part, to its mineral-filled polypropylene cone and a durable rubber surround. Its advanced dust cap sets this speaker apart from others in its class by extending its frequency response and allowing the driver to work gracefully in a 2- or 3-way system — and always sound phenomenal. A one-of-a-kind machined motor and oversized voice coil ensure minimal distortion under any appropriate power scenario. JL Audio also includes a handsome grille for a totally unique custom installation.

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 C7-650cw to be neutral, without coloration, so that you can use TüN to craft exactly the right sound for you and your vehicle.

Features

Size Classification Note: Some manufacturers, including JL Audio, call this size woofer a 6½". Because it requires a larger cutout than a standard 6½" speaker, Crutchfield has traditionally referred to this size woofer as a 6¾". Please enter your vehicle information to confirm fit.

Power Handling: JL Audio publishes several power specifications for this speaker, 125 watts continuous power handling (RMS), 225 watts peak music power, and 50-175 watts recommended amplifier power (RMS). We've listed the conservative combination of 50-125 watts RMS in the specs table.

Grilles: Two grille inserts are included, a standard mesh pattern and what JL Audio describes as a spiral pattern. Either can be mounted in the trim ring (pressure fit).

Q
In their video, did they say these sound better without a tweeter hooked up to them? also, is it $600 for ONE woofer, and not TWO?

Greetings Orion, and thank you for your question. Possibly you heard the video incorrectly, this is a midbass driver only, it is part of the C7 series active component speaker set. You need a tweeter to deliver the highs, these mid bass drivers can play up to 5K frequencies, and tweeters beyond 20K. These are sold individually.

What is the ideal amp for c7 650 3way?
jl reliant  Sep 07, 2022

A
It really all depends how you are trying to use the driver. It is meant to be used with the C7 series midrange driver and tweeter, but will require an active crossover. I assume you are wanting to power a pair, but can you tell us more about how you're using the driver?

JL rates these woofers for 50-175 watts RMS. The best amp match would further be dependent on the other speaker models and number of speakers you use.

Q
Will these fit in the stock sound bar of a 2016 JKU, no Alpine system? It appears yes and that the Select Increments pods are for installing at the far rear roll bar, but looking for clarity. Thank you.

Q
do you absolutely need an amplifier with this setup? i am planning to use these 6.5" in the rear doors do not want to run an amp if i don't have to. i am sure they will sound better with one but curious how the power output will be with Kenwood DMX1037S or DMX1057XR head unit. thanks in advance!
big eli  Apr 23, 2021

A
Yes, you will need an amplifier to power the JL Audio C7-650cw appropriately. The internal amplifier in Kenwood radios output 22 watts rms and the C7-650 needs at least 50 watts rms to 175 watts rms. Underpowering these could result in distortion or damage to the speaker.

Thanks for your question. For information on selecting the best amp I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They will be able to help determine the differences between the amp models and help you make the best choice for your system.

Q
Would these work well with my existing XD 600 amp (75x6 at 4 ohms)? Doesn't seem there would be enough power. Appreciate anyone's thoughts. Thanks.

It would do OK but ideally you would have a bit more power to drive those. If you want to discuss your whole system in more detail, our friendly product advisors would be happy to help. You can reach them here: https://www.crutchfield.com/I-rET1c290/S-SUliZgSTXG7/support/ContactUs.aspx
