About the JL Audio C5-650cw
Bigger sound, smaller space
Bigger sound, smaller space
If you're looking to add bass to your ride without sacrificing trunk space, here's a great solution. Pair two of these JL Audio C5-650cw woofers with the right components for fatter, fuller sound.
Extended cone travel for more punch
JL Audio built this 6-1/2" woofer for extended cone travel so it'll move more air, putting more oomph in your music when the rhythm section kicks in. The sub's mineral-filled polypropylene cone gives you clear, balanced sound. This C5 Series speaker's die-cast alloy basket incorporates the same patented cooling technology developed for JL Audio's acclaimed ZR Series speakers, so it'll play with a wide dynamic range at all volumes.
Rear speaker reinforcement
If you've already got a sub in the back, adding two of these woofers is great for adding some midbass punch in your interior. Even better, install a JL Audio C5 Series component system up front, then use two of these matched woofers in the rear to reinforce midrange and upper bass performance while keeping your soundstage right up front.

Product Research
Features
Cast Alloy Baskets: The Evolution C5 woofer features a cast alloy woofer basket and incorporates JL Audio's patented Elevated Frame cooling system. This cooling technology, also found on the flagship ZR component systems and W7 and W6v2 subwoofers, allows air to flow directly across the top plate and onto the voice coil windings to improve linearity at all listening levels.
Motor Structure: The DMA (Dynamic Motor Analysis)-optimized motor structure achieves outstanding linearity.
Woofer Cones: The cone and suspension elements were designed and manufactured by the world-famous Dr. Kurt Müller & Co of Germany. The speakers feature low-mass, mineral-filled polypropylene cones with butyl rubber surrounds. The cone and surround are inherently well damped to deliver an uncolored, neutral bass without any coloration. The speakers are also equipped with symmetrical-roll, hybrid-weave spiders.
Power Handling: JL Audio publishes several power specifications for this speaker, 75 watts continuous power handling (RMS), 225 watts peak music power, and 25-150 watts recommended amplifier power (RMS). We've listed the conservative combination of 25-75 watts RMS in the specs table.
