About the JBL 601C

Alexander H.

Strong components at a strong price

Bring on the big fun of being there live, but leave off the big price tag — that's the idea behind JBL's Concert Series car speakers. Their Concert 601C 6-1/2" component speaker system delivers a strong sound with a striking design, accented by JBL's "exclamation point" logo on the separate tweeter and external crossover. And the speaker's patented Plus One™ structure extends the surface area of the polypropylene woofer cone to give you a better low-frequency experience. Grilles are included.

A match for any system

These 3-ohm speakers are sensitive enough that you can power them with an aftermarket stereo, but you'll get even better results feeding them power from an outboard amp. JBL also gives you control over the tweeter volume with two selectable output levels.

Product Research

Features

Plus One+ Woofer Cones: Each speaker uses a larger cone than other speakers of the same size. This is accomplished by using a unique basket design and hi-roll surround. The Plus One+ design offers greater bass output and an increase in efficiency.

Woofer Size Classification: These speakers are marketed as 6½"; the woofers will fit standard 6½ speaker openings, but do not use the industry standard bolt pattern (then again, neither do many car manufacturers at this point). In most 6½ applications, new holes will need to be drilled in the mounting surface of the car. Without drilling new screw holes, the speakers fit many standard 6¾ applications. Please enter your vehicle information to confirm fit.

High-Output Design: The 3Ω voice coil design compensates for the high in-line resistance of small gauge factory wiring, extracting more power from factory (or aftermarket) receivers. This results in clearer, richer sound for the listener.

Tweeter Mounting Options: The tweeters include brackets to allow flat surface mounting and angled surface mounting (approximately 40°).

Dimensions:

  Surface Mount Angled Surface Mount
Mounting Height 0.81" 1.596"
Depth screw depth screw depth
Frame Diameter 1.48" N/A
Frame Dimensions N/A 1.488" x 2.058"

Crossover Connections: The crossovers' inputs and outputs are screw terminals; they will accommodate bare wire or spade connectors up to 0.3125" wide. A switch on each crossover allows you to set the tweeter output level according to system requirements and personal preference; choose +2 dB or 0 dB.

Crossover Dimensions:

  • Width: 1.81"
  • Height: 0.96"
  • Depth: 2.67" (plus wire)

Customer Q&A

10 questions already asked

Q
Which setting on the Crossover do you recommend -- I read critical reviews that the tweeter is "too loud." Is this personal preference or do you have initial setting that you recommend? INSTALL: Factory 2018 Camry unit remains, no amp, simple speaker upgrade. Thank you.
rick  Aug 04, 2023

A
We do not have prescribed setting for this application. If you find that your tweeters are not loud enough, you may consider pressing the +2bd switch for more tweeter.

Q
Is it fit into 2014 toyota corolla? front door speakers?
arjav  Apr 10, 2023
1 answer
A
Greetings Arjay, and thank you for your question. The JBL 601C speakers are a recommended fit for the 2014 Corolla, but the woofers need an adapter bracket, and the tweeters are not a direct replacement. They will fit, but need either backstraps, hot glue, or silicon adhesive to hold them in.

Q
Is an amp required to use the crossovers/tweeters?
jayden  Dec 30, 2022

Greetings Jayden, and thank you for your question. Is an amp required? no. Would you want an amplifier to power this type of speaker set? yes. Without an amp, they will work, but not nearly as good as with an amp.

Q
When factory radio has discrete lines to woofer and tweeter - should the JBL provided cross over go on the tweeter feed or on the woofer?
bill  Feb 18, 2022
1 answer
A
It is recommended that these speakers not be used with such a setup because the crossover point being used by the stock system most likely will not match that being used by these speakers. I recommend contacting an advisor by calling 1-800-324-9695 to get a personal recommendation on a setup that will work

Q
Can I use these speakers for the front and the rear ?
ronald edward  Mar 28, 2021
1 answer
A
These are component speakers, bass and separate tweater. I Know few cars that use them in the rear. TO USE THEM IN THE FRONT, YOU NEED 4 SPEAKER locations. I WOULD TRUST THE CRUTCHFIELD sizing recommendations for these. NOTE, BASS IS NOT RObust, highs are tinny.

Q
What is the tweeter material? Hard dome or soft dome?

Soft but they have guards so you can't press them

Q
Can I use the factory installed cross-over - mount the woofer in the door and the tweeter in the front pillar using factory wiring?
matthew  May 21, 2020
2 answers
A
In my 2016 Mazda mx5, I used the factory wiring because the pathway to the door is a sealed channel. I did use the crossover however, mounting in an opening below the pillar. The OEM crossover was located in the tweeter housing, so had to mount the crossover. Not perfect but works.
jay  May 22, 2020
A
My tweeter was hard wired to the factory radio so I used the crossover that came with the speakers. If you are not changing the radio I don't see why you have to change crossovers
