Product Research

Features

Plus One+ Woofer Cones: Each speaker uses a cone larger 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.

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.

The JBL 521F replaces these items:


Adding...
  • injection molded polypropylene and mica-reinforced composite woofer cone with rubber-coated cloth surround
  • 1-3/16" PET dome tweeter
  • handles up to 35 watts RMS (250 watts peak power)

Customer Q&A

12 questions already asked

Q
Recently purchased a 2010 Toyota Tundra Limited Crew Max with the JBL stereo system. One of the rear speakers is blown. Are these a direct replacement? If not, which option would be a direct replacement?
lawrence  Jun 30, 2024
1 answer
A
These will be the closest to a direct replacement that is possible with the factory JBL system. Technically the existing speaker in that area is a bigger 6.5" but Toyota did not leave much room at all for an aftermarket speaker. To fit a replacement in there with the required bracket, we would need to step down to a 5-1/4" and that JBL Concert will match the factory impedance the absolute closest. For details on installation please contact an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They will be able to pull up your vehicle and give you the details on what you will need for an installation.

Q
I just installed these JBL 5.25 Concert Series speakers into the dash on my '03 Caravan. The original factory speakers were only fastened by 2 screws, and of the 4 holes on the speakers, they don't line up with the factory holes. How do I make these fit, or should I return for another pair? Plus the other 4 speakers I purchased were jbl Club series, does that matter much? Thank you.

Our tech support team will be happy to review the installation to see if there is a means to make these speakers work. If not, our advisors will be happy to make another recommendation. Our toll-free Tech Support number is printed on your invoice, and is also available under the "My Orders" tab in the "My Account" section of our website.

Q
Will the boss elite drive these ok ?
raymond  Dec 30, 2022
1 answer
A
Greetings Doc, and thank you for your question. The Boss stereos have as much amplification as most aftermarket stereos would have. The JBL speakers are some if not the most efficient speakers, but if you really want great sounding speakers, they should have more power from an external amplifier.
thomas  Dec 30, 2022 (Staff)
Q
I know I have a JBL speakers in my 03 Limited Highlander, but donâ??t know whether itâ??s a concert or a stadium type or whatever type of feature type it is. How can I tell?
freddie f  Sep 18, 2022
1 answer
A
Often the factory JBL systems won't state what type they are and unfortunately we don't have that information either. You may be able to get that information from a dealership.
arielle  Sep 19, 2022 (Staff)
Q
Wait itâ??s saying it would fit my lower front door and my top corner ones do I have to bye 2 different ones or how ?
juvenal  Jul 20, 2022
1 answer
A
Depending on your vehicle Juvenal, this JBL 521F Concert series 5 1/4" 2 way speaker may fit multiple locations. Since you only get a pair, you might have to buy multiples if you are replacing more than just the lower front door pair. If you are having issues online with our Vehicle guide or any of the package builders, you can always give us a call at 1-800-324-9695 and we can get you hooked up!

Q
I want these for my scion tc 2006 passe speakers, do i need to purchase a compatible connector?
susana  Mar 31, 2021
1 answer
A
We do offer speaker wiring harnesses that allow new speakers to be plugged into the stock wiring. The issue we face is that we do not have a mounting bracket to hold them into the stock locations. I recommend contacting an advisor by calling 1-800-324-9695 to get a recommendation on speakers that we can get mounted in it.

I don't know about amp requirements. I just replaced my original speakers. JBL speakers working good.

Q
Do I need an amp for these speakers?
john  Apr 14, 2020
4 answers
A
Not if you are replacing the head unit. If you are using the factory Chrysler unit you will need an amp.
michael t  Apr 29, 2020
A
I don't think you needed to unless you listen to really loud music. I just upgraded my Highlander with a 20 watts Alpine Apple CarPlay unit and 4 of the JBL Series 521F speakers and the sound just fantastic. It sounds very clear at a decent volume. I was about to install an additional amps unit but after listening to the new unit at a very high volume I think it would be more than I need. I hope that would help u with your questions.

zachary st.  Apr 27, 2020

Yes, will not work properly with factory deck and amp, replace entire system if anything, speakers are great just the crossover gets messed up with OEM equipment

Only if your stereo doesn't have the power output you need for the volume you want
david  Apr 21, 2020
A
You can definitely get better sound through an amp but most head units have power that drives these just fine
