High Quality Sound

I have done many crazy car stereo installations in my day, and I always used 6 3/4 separate speakers. But my 2011 BMW 328i x-Drive wagon would not handle them. In fact these 5 1/2 inch speakers required some pretty extensive su. I wasn't expecting them to sound as good as my previous 6 3/4 installs, but they really did. I couldn't be happier. I should mention that my goal is sound quality for high resolution recordings of jazz, classical and rock. I did run new custom wires as the stock BMW ones are like sewing thread. I installed them front and rear. In the photos, the door panels with the tweeter in the door panel are the rear, and for the front, I put the tweeter in the A-Pillar.

JL Audio C5-525

Amazing speakers, but Crutchfield said to use these for my Jeep Wrangler. Way to small. Returned them when I went to Drive in Audio and they told me I needed a 6" system. Went with the Focal's instead. So I mark it down to a 4. Make sure you have the right size for your system. Crutchfield won't tell you a definite yes or no.

Good product, poor customer service on JL AUDIOs part

It pains me to give the speakers three stars, because the fact that I'm getting it three stars is not the speakers fault. I accidentally put a screwdriver through one of the woofers on installation. This was obviously my fault. I called JL audio to see if there was anyway that they could help me with a replacement or if the speaker could be repaired. I was basically told that it wasn't their problem and that I needed to speak to a retailer. The customer service representative was very condescending. That being said , I put duct tape on the speaker just to see how it would sound and even damaged they sound awesome. I thought dealing with a high-end company would give high end customer service, and in my opinion I did not get that. Too bad

JL audio

I am very happy with the speakers. I still have the original head unit that came with my car. I was shocked at how much better the sound in my Lotus is. I replaced the front and rear with JL C5-525 and JL C2-400x. I can hear every part of the music, even when turned low.

Excellent components!!!!

i purchased these JL AUDIO C5 components because they fit my 2002 Buick park avenue ultra's front doors perfectly with out having to do any modifications to the doors. the 5.25 mid range has very nice bass with out distortion, i am not using a JL AUDIO amp yet but they do sound great! totally worth the money. the tweeter sounds very clear and works great with all music. i did noticed that these speakers sound a lot better with acoustic type music you can hear the guitar strumming clearly as if you were in front of the artist, this is no joke and no exaggeration! these are the first top knotch component speakers i purchased and i dont regret it. i also bought some JL AUDIO C5 653 components for the rear of the car. on my rear doors you can only fit 3.5 inch speakers but with some light modifiaction you can squeeze a 4 inch mid range and on the rear deck you can only fit 6x9's but i modefied the rear deck to fit the 6.5 inch woofers. this C5 component speaker line is awesome! keep in mind that the C5 653 component system some with 2 tweeters, two 4 inch mid range speakers and two 6.5 inch woofers and a crossover of course. i hope that my review helps you decide to buy these speakers. you will not regret it an believe me you really do get what you paid for with this set of components. because of this upgrade i did and made a great choice in purchasing JL AUDIO products they made me a customer for life. next in line to purchase is JL AUDIO HD1200/1 amp and the JL AUDIO HD600/4.

5.25" woofer fits 911 (993) HiFi option's enclosure . . .

Great low-mid driver. The 5.25" woofer/mid fits the MY'95 thru '98 911(993) HiFi options door mounted Nokia enclosure perfectly, and the Nokia ext. amp drives the JL 4ohm woofer noticably louder than stock. The fabric tweeter substitutes the 993s OE tweeter pod with a little work; Think art's & crafts class. The JL C5-525 kit represents a big value upgrade to the aging 911 (993) coupe's stereo system. The 993 HiFi option's bass-reflex enclosure is tuned for solid low end performance..... and the JL Audio / Kurt Muller 5.25" polyprop cone driver does the trick. Very impressive. For a suitable mid-range driver look at a version of the uber high performance Dynaudio 3" MD142 ... (VW OEM version works great)
