Awesome upgrade!

Lee from SOUTH MILWAUKEE, WI on 6/30/2025

2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Wow what a difference. Upgraded the speakers we installed a few years ago, very satisfing! Considered adding a sub instead but didn't want to lose the space or spend the extra money for an amp. Glad I chose these instead. They get pretty low and very little distortion considering we are just using a head unit for amplification. Plus the mids and highs were greatly improved, mellow and detailed. Amazing!

Pros: Great sound overall and amazing bass for a 6 1/2. A real bargain for this quality of sound. Good assortment of hardware comes included for installation.

Cons: Very narrow mounting surface made it difficult to place gasketing tape but in the end it all worked out with great results.

They are OK, slight increase in Quality

BLAKE from UVALDE, TX on 6/6/2025

2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

They are ok. I upgraded my 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 Custom - Front Speakers, Twitters, and Rear Speakers (Crutchfield recommended JL Audio C1-690, JL Audio C1-650x with Twitters). There was a slight increase in sound quality but maybe not worth the work if you are expecting something dramatic. Again it's a slight improvement, the default volume was about 55% before quality dropped, now I can turn it up 70% before quality drops. If I were to compare, they are probably slightly less quality than having the upgraded default Bose Speakers in higher model trucks, which I hear are not your normal high-end Bose Speakers. I would only recommend at a great discount, at $107.99 not worth it ($292.25 for all items mentioned above). Also, the first adapter they sent me for the Twitters was incorrect (Metra 72-4574 Speaker Wiring Harnesses), then the 2nd adapter (Metra 72-4573 Speaker Wiring Harnesses) wasn't correct either, I tried contacting the person who sent me the 2nd replacement to let him know it didn't fit since he took all my vehicle info to put it into the system for future buyers for compatibility but no response from emails or text. (I found elsewhere that I had to cut one sided off housing off to eventually work). Seems like great customer service at first but not sure why they give you all of their "personal" contact details to not respond back. I experienced this with 2 or 3 people I worked with on this purchase. I am on the fence with this experience.

Pros: They are ok, there is some improvement but the devil is in the details.

Cons: Probably not worth the work. Probably not worth the normal price.

Amazing product! Was planning a major upgrade of the base speaker package that comes on the Kia telluride with complete rewire, dsp and amp. Decided to keep it simple and start with upgrading the speakers first, figuring that I could always go further if needed. So glad I went this route first. These speakers sound phenomenal. Swapped out the front speakers with the c1-650 and used these rears. Such an upgrade over the factory setup. Not even going to bother going further.

Verified employee review (What's this?)

These were recommended by Hensel, a Crutchfield audio consultant. I informed him that I listen to rock, folk and podcasts, nothing with a lot of deep bass. He recommended these speakers for my application. Very clear sound with tight snappy drums. The quality of the vocals is superb. The head unit is a JVC KD-T920BTS. Installed in rear doors of 2006 Toyota Tundra Access Cab was very simple with the Metra wire harness for each speaker. They allowed use of factory door wire harness connector so no splicing. Easy peasy.

Great sounding speakers at a great price

Mark from Leawood, KS on 12/10/2024

2011 Lexus RX350

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

These speakers sound great and are a nice upgrade over the factory 6"x9" speakers that came with my 2011 Lexus RX350 (12 speaker system). The midrange is very sweet and detailed, and the response seems tighter and better defined. The speakers are decently heavy with powerful magnets, and the installation was less trouble than I expected. Crutchfield included the wire harness connectors and mounting bracket replacements to fit these specific speakers for my car's install at no charge. I didn't use their instructions (I watched a very detailed YouTube video instead), but everything went without a hitch and took less than an hour for both doors. Really happy with my purchase and will buy from Crutchfield again.

Pros: * Nice, smooth midrange * Free installation brackets * Free wire harness connectors

Cons: None

Good speakers for the price. I installed with an aftermarket head unit and some sound deadening and could def tell the difference in sound quality. Only issue is instructions say to use the stock door speaker mount, but the holes didn't exactly line up with the speaker's holes. I had to drill new ones in the stock plastic piece but it worked in the end.

Pros: Good speaker for the price

Cons: Mounting holes didn't line up with stock 2005 Toyota Tundra rear door speaker mount.

Anthony from W Valley City, UT on 9/26/2024

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Ordered these to the rear speaker set to upgrade my from my stock setup. I ordered speakers and a new head unit but replaced the all the speakers before I replaced the head unit. I tested them with the stock head unit and could barely hear them and didn't hear any difference over stock. I was thinking, "OH NO! What have I done?". I figured the stock unit just didn't deliver enough power. I replaced the head unit... Wholly smokes!! These babies sprung to life and WOW! they're a completely different animal! Punchy bass, great highs, excellent sound through the volume range and different EQ settings - from a 6.5 inch speaker! You can see and feel the quality built into these bad boys. Even though they are the entry-level speakers from JL Audio, no expense is spared in their construction or sound quality! JL Audio is a trustworthy brand and worth your consideration when upgrading your ride. I am totally impressed, they sound fantastic!! Super easy install in the stock locations.

Pros: Ease of install, sound quality, build quality, materials used are top-notch

Cons: None so far.

Clear but lacks bass

John from Houston, TX on 9/15/2024

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I bought these for the rear doors of my Honda CRV along with the C1-650 components for my front doors in hopes to get more bass and better sound. These speakers are very clear and crisp, but they lack bass. Granted that I am running them without an amp, but I still expected a little more bass. As far as mids and highs, these speakers shine with clarity. I can turn my radio all the way up with little to no distortion. I appreciate that they were easy to install with the brackets and harness supplied by Crutchfield. I'm happy with my purchase, but I am missing the bass.

Pros: Clear sound Easy to install

Cons: Lacks punchy bass

Excellent Factory Replacement Speakers

Andy from INDIANAPOLIS, IN on 9/9/2024

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Why on earth didn't I do this sooner? The factory speakers on my 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV sounded muddy with lots of bass, but very poor definition in the mids and highs, making even talk radio / news programs difficult to understand. The instructions were spot on for removing the door panels, and the installation was very easy except for the weak negative blade terminal on the speaker. I bent the terminal on 2 out of the 4 speakers on my vehicle when trying to secure the mating connector on the provided jumper harness. But it didn't break, and they sound great! The highs from the built in tweeters are very clear, and the mids are so much more defined. I'm hearing things on tracks I forgot were there. The bass on the factory speakers appear to be targeted at certain frequencies. These speakers reproduce sound so much better across the whole spectrum. If you're looking for a no-brainer way to improve the sound quality in your vehicle, these are a great place to start.

Pros: Easy installation in my vehicle. Very clear highs and mids. Surprising amount of bass.

Cons: Negative terminal on the speaker bends easily when installing the blade terminal to the jumper harness to the factory harness.

Very easy install; everything necessary was included per recommendations. Called Crutchfield twice for some basic questions, and they were very helpful. For the CR-V you can just pop out the entire handle, instead of removing the door lock cable per the master sheet instructions - this made it easier. Did not replace the tweeters though; next time would probably do component in front and replace them at the same time.

Pros: Noticeably better sound with factory radio. Easy install.

Cons: None.

I'm bought based on Crutchfield customer service advice that these would be better than my stock Bose rear door speakers. They do have more clarity but volume is very poor. Maybe a design issue with 21 Sierras with Bose. Wish I would have saved my money and more importantly my time.

Extremely low volume even when powered by an amp

Verified employee review (What's this?)

Bought these speakers for the rear of my 2022 Hyundai Tucson and had a professional install them. The sound for the back speakers is incredibly low and the front ones (also jl speakers) sound 10 times better than the back. The set is hooked up with a sub and an amp but the back speakers barely crank out any sound. I wouldn't recommend these to be honest for how quiet the sound is.

Pros:

Cons: Speakers don't produce enough volume

High expectations for the brand, but very disappointed

Verified employee review (What's this?)

I have owned a DSP-enabled JL Audio amplifier for several years now and have been very impressed with it. So, when I decided to change the front door speakers in my daily driver (a 2002 MB E320) at a low price point I went with JL Audio --- it had good efficiency numbers and many many many excellent reviews. I was extremely disappointed. The speakers and extremely poor bass handling (vibrations, etc.) and .... when bass boost was turned off, it had literally ZERO bass. I can understand if the speakers sounded terrible in an installation where the speaker was not baffled properly. However, I installed these in the stock location in the door using all the factory mounting points and mechanism. In fact, the factory paper speakers had better bass. To add insult to injury, I then purchased a pair of cheaper speakers (Rockford Fosgates) which sounded *marvelous* in the doors.

Pros: Straightforward install, eye catching yellow color, nice highs.

Cons: Zero bass, unless you turn up the bass boost, at which point it sounds terrible.

I had tempered expectations in regards to performance with replacing my blown speakers in the front door without also replacing the head unit. These speakers are amazing running off my stock radio. I couldn't be more happier with my purchase. JL audio does it again.

Pros: Instructions, performance

Cons: None. In a perfect world, the bass could be better, but with only replacing the speaker connected to a factory radio, you can't ask for much more for the price.

2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I got these in hopes of getting more sound from the rear of my crew cab. The clarity is definitely noticeable. But they are not as loud as the stock speakers with the stock amplifier. I have the non Bose system. But the stock speakers will start to distort much sooner than these with higher volume levels, especially comparing these in the rear to the front door and dash speakers I haven't replaced yet. This is my first purchase from Crutchfield but definitely not my last. I plan on also using this model of 6x9 component JL speakers in my front door and dash. It's great that Crutchfield gave me all the additional materials and details I needed for the install. I also used the baffles behind the speaker to capture more of the sound in the cab which I think helped. Adding a smaller 4 channel inline amp will definitely help these push more mids and highs.

Pros: Better sound quality, especially at high volume.

Cons: Lower sound than stock speakers. Needs amplifier

Perfect fitting speakers and spot-on sound for my convertible Pontiac Solstice with the top down.

FANTASTIC SPEAKERS! Poor research

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Installed in 2018 FORD F150 LARIAT REAR DOOR PERFECTLY! I did that in all caps because they have these incredible speakers as not fitting my year model 150 (and many other f150 year models) crutchfields research is completely wrong on this one they do fit they fit perfectly in fact. Use the spacer that JL provides along with the metro adapter and its a breeze 10 minuets ts install on first rear door less than five on the second. The 6-1/2" that crutchfield recommends is a much deeper speaker (and much more expensive speaker)that doesn't even come close to fitting the metro adapter for this truck forcing you to fab a spacer. I bought and promptly returned them and purchased these AMAZING JL speakers for MY REAR F150 DOOR! Docked one star because crutchfield charged me for the install gear because the speaker is listed as not fitting, crutchfield is clearly WRONG on the f150 research and should refund the install parts PERIOD. 2018 F150 Lariat 5.0 liter supercrew Kenwood dmx-809s head unit, JL C1 -690 6X9'S (ALSO AMAZING!) in the front doors.

Pros: They are a fantastic upgrade over factory incredible sound for a great price

Cons: Crutchfield's research is clearly wrong on these speakers

I put these in my 2002 GMC Sierra 2500 HD, to replace the factory speakers that have probably been shot for 15 years. After a couple of YouTube videos, I removed the door panel easily. The speakers came with a wiring harness that clipped directly to the factory harness. The best mounting option was to drill for small holes, nothing technical whatsoever. The speaker sound amazing and are a perfect match to the factory radio. I can't believe I didn't do this sooner. They sounded so good I immediately ordered replacement speakers in the same brand for the back door pillars. Crutchfield has been my source for many years.

2018 GMC Sierra w/Factory Bose

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Purchased these to replace factory Bose system. Was a little skeptical at first based on feedback received about the swap out and keeping the factory Bose amp, but ended up being very very pleased with the end result. Crisp highs and punchy lows, although not super deep, they still sound great! I will agree that you lose some overall volume at lower levels, but crank the dial and these rock. Additionally, I did an on the spot comparison of the factory Bose versus these, and these JL's have better overall sound no doubt. I would describe the factory Bose speakers as more "hollow" in sound and hitting a lot of the midrange tones. These JLs shine at the high end and some punchy lows. Pair with an aftermarket sub/amp addition and you've got a solid entry/mid level set up.

Pros: Crisp highs and punchy lows

Cons: Did lose some volume but that is to be expects with using the factory Bose amp and the difference in ohms.

A little disappointed (Kicker CS-series vs. JL C1-650x)

Joshua from Alfred, NY on 3/29/2023

2007 Chevrolet Impala

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Disappointed. I bought these speakers hoping to upgrade from my kicker CS series; however, it seems more like a downgrade. Sound quality was pretty great upon installation. These speakers fully lack in bass. I even changed the EQ to super bass and these speakers didn't even perform close to my previous kicker CS series front door speakers. Not to mention, the kicker CS series cost about half the price.

Pros: Sound quality is more vibrant and balanced, Speakers look nice, metal frame to connect to the plastic adapter so the screws don't get loose (I used larger screws than provided).

Cons: Serve lack in bass, upon wiring the manufacturer soldered the wire overlapping the connections; making it nearly impossible to get the clips on. In addition, the connections where bent inward so you have to bend them back just to put the clips on.

NOT for 2018 Honda CRV

Brandon from Hilo, HI on 3/9/2023

2018 Honda CRV

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I had high hopes reading all the reviews for these speakers, both here on Crutchfield and elsewhere. Sadly, these JLs were a major disappointment. Indeed, they have very crisp, clear highs and decent, albeit quieter, mids. Absolutely no bass. I'm not talking subwoofer bass -- that's what subs are for. I mean they are missing a whole range of frequencies the factory stock speakers in my 2018 Honda CRV have. I installed the front driver side first just as a tester and played a variety of music from classical, jazz, hard rock, ambient, electronic, etc. The $15 stock speakers (yes, I found straight replacements for $15 ea) had MUCH better range, depth, volume and balance. I thought for sure I did something wrong with the install, so I uninstalled and reinstalled the JL ensuring all connections were tight and everything was in its right place. Same results. I genuinely thought I was going crazy -- how could this be? So I toggled between just the front R/L speakers (stock and JL). Night and day difference. The stock speaker was warm, rich and balanced in comparison. For fun, I messed with the 3-band EQ: even with the bass all the way up, the treble at -3, the JL had less bass response than the stock. Despite being advertised as sensitive enough for stock speaker replacement, my hunch is these JLs need added power + an EQ. Even then, I don't think it's worth the hassle. Maybe they work in other systems but they certainly do NOT work well in a 2018 Honda CRV.

Pros: Super clear/crips

Cons: Woefully low on mids & bass Sharp treble is out of balance

Not impressed, but sound is OK

Alexander from Hemet, CA on 3/3/2023

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I'm not even sure how to rate these speakers, i dont like how they sound but they dont sound bad, the sound is very clean and clear but they are very thin. Low and high frequencies are non existent at normal volume but speakers seem to come to life if you crank up the volume. I expected a fuller sound for the money. I have them connected to a Alpine CDA-7897 without an external amp. I did everything i can to adjust the EQ but no matter what, the sound is very lacking on low and high frequencies. I think these speakers are designed to be complemented by an external sub. I got 4 of them for front and rear and os too much hassle to take them off, otherwise I would return them. And in case you are wondering,,, although these speakers sound cleaner, factory speakers had a deeper sound

Pros: Clean and clear sound

Cons: Sound flat and lacking low frequency, build quality is low for the price, not included grill for the price, not worth the price.

Quality speaker for an entry-level Soundsystem

Austin from Lancaster, NY on 2/22/2023

1997 Oldsmobile Bravada

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I'm impressed with the sound quality of these C1 speakers! All though the listing for my vehicle said they were an exact fit and replacement. Yes, there was truth in that but I had to make some adjustments and drill holes into my speaker housing to make fitment other than that easy breezy install when you're someone with experience installing speakers like myself, would recommend the speakers to anybody who is trying to get in the entry level Soundsystem. Just let it be known for those who Owen these vehicles Chevy blazers, S10, Oldsmobile bravada's and GMC Jimmy's 1995 through 2004 there has to be adjustments to your original speaker housing.

Pros: Sound system with perfect rich notes, not to over bearing and perfect for different genres of music

Cons: Fitment and adjustment for vehicle listing wasn't 100% accurate you will need to make modifications to original speaker housing and drill holes. Also tabs on the speakers to hook up the wiring they have to be bent back a tad bit just to fit the wiring on.

Ade from LATROBE, PA on 2/9/2023

Verified employee review (What's this?)

These were installed into my 2014 Fusion to replace front door speakers, which had tears in the paper woofer. I gave for stars because before my oem speakers blown had way more bass than these. These do have some bass but nothing like my oem. Which is very shocking. But it's still a good upgrade. I noticed I can't turn my radio up over 20 the speakers just can't handle the stock radio I know shocking. No big deal sub coming soon to make up the difference. Very easy install Crutchfield makes it literally fool proof. You won't mess up. Shipping was fast. Crutchfield gets 5 stars. Now if they last that shall be determined. But the 1 year warranty gives me some peace of mind.

Pros: More crisp clean sound than oem. Seem to be built with good materials.

Cons: Need a little more bass. I feel like my stock 2014 fusion front door speakers shouldn't have had more deep bass than these JLs, not a deal breaker

Having used JL Audio subs, amps, and tweeters in my Ram pickup, and other cars I've had; I figured I would give these a try cause I blew my front door speaker. I'm TOTALLY MIND BLOWN, THESE ARE AMAZING!! Being installed in a completely stock car with the factory premium audio system; the highs are crisp and the lows are enjoyable for there size. I honestly wish I would have installed these sooner. I listen to a wide range of music from Country, Trance, Hip Hop, Metal, Oldies, 70's-90's... You get the idea. I love them so much I ordered a set for the rear deck. Can't wait to install them. Crutchfield comes through again!!

Not Under powered! If I had to do this over again, I would go with the Component JL's. I have those in the front doors, and they Really help separate the audio out Much better! Can hear the singer and the highs much clearer. What is Great about this speaker, are the tweeter audio signal is NOT distorted by the Bass. The signals are separated out well.

Great Bass for Size, Good for Factory Head, Good Value

T- from Minneapolis, MN on 11/5/2022

2022 Toyota Camry

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

These speakers have amazing bass for the size. When cranked, I do not mind not having a subwoofer because these crank sufficiant bass. These speakers are said to be good for using the factory head unit. In installed these JL Audio C1-650x in the front doors of my sedan. In the rear doors I installed Focal RCX-165. I would say the Focals made a bigger difference. The Focal tweeters have a wide dispersion and lifted the sound up to my earns and throughout the cabin in a way the JL's didn't. The Focals also have a nice open and clear sound. On the flip side, the Focals have much better bass. I think the Focals alone probably would not have enough bass. Combining the two different brands together worked well for me. So if considering those two brands, I've differentiated them. The metal dome tweeter of the JL's are a particular sound quality that drives the sound. The JL's rock. A soft dome tweeter to me is a nicer sound for precise high hats and the very top end. I enthusiastically recommend these. If using a good amp, consider upgrading the the JL model one step up, if money is available. Otherwise, the C1-650x may be the best speaker value available to use with a factory head for overall sound that includes bass.

Pros: -Outstanding bass for this size speaker. -Is known to be a good speaker for using the original factory head unit. -Fairly priced. Fair value.

Cons: -Personal preference, a soft dome tweeter sounds nicer to me instead of the metal dome tweater. -Not as clear and open as the other brand I installed in the rear.

JL Audio C1-650x

Hubert from Carlsbad, CA on 6/13/2022

2016 Subaru Crosstrek

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I got these for rear doors along with the matching component set (C1-650) for the front door & dash tweeters. These replaced the stock speakers in a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek. Because the stock woofers were terrible (the stock dash tweeters were OK), my kids in the rear seats always complained that the sound was quiet and muffled in the back seats when things were already getting loud in the front. We used the stock head unit's built-in function to change the balance to bias the rear speakers to "solve" this issue, resulting in muffled sound for the whole cabin at the same volume. Upgrading to the C1-650x for the rear doors solved the issue for real and we were able to change the car's speaker setup to have balance the sound to the center of the car again. Additionally, these things pump out a surprisingly good amount of tight-sounding bass. I installed them with fast rings to ensure a good seal around the speakers for the good bass performance. The only thing I wished was that Crutchfield would have a bracket for the rear doors for my car (they have brackets for the fronts). I ended up modifying the GM/Honda brackets supplied in the same box as the JL Audio speakers so I could mount them to my Subaru by drilling just 2 holes in more level locations in the door instead of 4 holes in awkward locations.

Pros: Good bass when installed with fast rings Integrated tweeters let speakers reproduce full range of sound for most music

Cons:

Great for upgrading your trucks rear door speakers if you are keeping the factory head unit! I paired these with the JL Audio C1-690x in the front doors. This is in a 2015 Chevy Silverado Double Cab with the 8 inch radio. These things really do have a better frequency range then the stock and really brings the stock radio to life! Thanks to the team at Crutchfield for recommending these and the the C1-650's as well!

Pros: Better frequency response than stock, clearer sound, ease of installation.

Cons: None at all

Wow. These sound amazing. I had no idea the old Kenwood could produce music like this. Pure, clean, bright... all the best adjectives in the world that describe wonderful sound. This is truly Nirvana for the ears. I cannot wait to get the rest of my stuff and do some real justice to these fabulous speakers but what an awesome start, all due to your spot on advice about where and how I should begin. Thank you so much. I am officially in love and forever grateful and I'll be back for more very soon.

Great sounding speakers for the price. I installed these in my 2017 Ford Explorer rear doors and was very impressed. I installed a set of c1-690 components in the front doors as well, but noticed a more dramatic change from the rear doors. I installed them with the supplied adapter as well as a silicone drip guard for added protection and vibration resistance.

Good Highs and Clarity, no bass

2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I just installed these in my 2019 Silverado RST w/ Bose system. I wanted to replace the rear door speakers since they sounded terrible when faded 100% to the rear. The the JL C1's delivered good highs and clarity but there is no bass at all which doesn't mattersince the factory Bose sub sounds pretty decent in the back anyway. It took about 2.5 hours including the dynamat around the speaker bracket. The hardest part was putting the door panel back on. It was much easier with the window down. The Instructions from Crutchfield may the entire process so much easier.

Pros: highs, clarity, price, plug and play with supplied harness

Cons: No bass w/ factory Bose amp. Supplied mounting brackets had a gap between the door. Dynamat fixed that issue.

Rad rear door speaker upgrade

Incredible 6.5" set up. Replaced rear door speakers in a double cab Sierra. Added the missing highs the factory paper speakers lost and added some bass to boot. Non amp application was a selling point snd it came with the adapters and wire harness quick connects. I did the dynamat surrounds with it. Range and quality are incredible.

Pros: Plug and play, incredible quality construction, looks darn good inside the grills.

Cons: Wish the tweeters were able to be directed but that's really being picky.

Great quality build and decent sound. Hooking these to the factory system didn't increase the audio experience and did loose some bass response. Speakers produce better highs and mids but I'm sure with an amp or more powerful head unit these would sound better. Fit was great as Crutchfield does make sure you get all the right parts for install.

Verified employee review (What's this?)

2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness Front- JL Audio C1-690 Rear- JL Audio C1- 650x This was a great upgrade for my wife's car. Install was super easy thanks to all the adapters and brackets supplied from crutchfield. I installed the components in the front. Woofer in the door and tweeters in the dash to replace the stock tweeters. In the rear I installed the 6.5" speaker. At first I was hesitant to get this set of speakers from being on the forums all I read were Focals are the best fr this car. But after talking to a rep and discussing what our genre of music is he suggested I go with the C1's and I'm glad I did these speakers without an amp blew me away with how clear and crisp they are. At first my wife didn't understand why I kept the radio off when we were in the car till I only installed the left side first and showed her the difference and when she heard she said OMG that's a big difference. I'm still on the fence about wanting to amp them later since we have very young boys we don't play the music too loud any ways but I'm curious how much better the sound will be with the kicker key's build in DSP. So if you're on the fence about these running off a stock head unit. All I can say is if I had to buy these again I would!

Pros: Clean sound Works well with factory Head unit Tight bass Clean mid Crisp highs

Cons: None at this time

Very nice little speakers! I do not yet have an amp, but with the power they do get, I'm satisfied. Some of the instruments in music sound like they're in my car - it's wonderful. Looking forward to getting another set! Only had one problem installing. The wires don't have a lot of clearance...The original notch for them was at the 6 o'clock position, but the new speakers, if lined up to the same screw holes, had them closer to 5 o'clock. I seemed there was just enough of a space left, but then I was getting occasional brief little static noises on bumpier roads. It was an easy enough fix though. I just had to widen the space for the wires a bit more.

I was very happy with the new C1 6.5" speakers. The door did need very minor modifications. Replacing both front speakers took maybe 20 minutes. If your car needs a wiring harness make sure to inquire. It make your life so much easier.

Crutchfield customer from Nashville, TN on 8/17/2021

2019 Subaru WRX

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I bought these for a 2019 WRX and installed them in the rear doors. For my install, I put sound deadening all over the doors both inside the door shell and also on the sheet metal that the plastic trim covers. I also put sound deadening on the inside of the plastic trim panels as well. The trick with the sound deadening was to cover up any holes (there are 2 big ones on my specific vehicle) to create an enclosure for the speaker. I also put foam directly behind the speaker, foam/gasket on the bracket and back of the speaker, and the foam ring on front of the speaker. These are being powered by an aftermarket head unit--no external amplifier yet. Between these new speakers and making sure that the install was done correctly the sound improvement is immense. Everything sounds cleaner and more clear. Some people complained about the bass, but mine are putting out clean bass and I am not disappointed at all. I think doing the install right is more important than the speaker in a lot of ways but these are clearly high quality for an entry level offering from JL. I already upgraded the dash speakers with the 2.75 inch Kickers, so my plan is to put the same JL co-axials in the front doors to match the rear. Any WRX owner with the base speaker system who does anything similar should be content. The harness Crutchfield provided was not plug & play. I ended up soldering into the existing wires and using the other end of the adapter to plug into the speaker directly.

Really happy with the output of these coaxial speakers. For their size (6.5 in) they pack a punch, and have deep lows and sharp highs. Quality build, I like the fact they don't include the grilles - they'd end up in the trash anyway 9/10 times.. JL Audio never disappoints and always deliver quality audio equipment, and thanks to Crutchfield it's now a reality!

Solid Speakers

Crutchfield customer from Huntersville, NC on 7/18/2021

1999 Dodge Ram 1500

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Replaced my 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 Club Cab rear factory speakers with these. The Crutchfield fit database said these wouldn't fit and recommended the JL Audio C1-525x speakers. For the rear corners of a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 Club Cab the C1-525x speakers are both too small and have a mounting depth that exceeds the maximum mounting depth of 2" in that location. The C1-650x speakers ARE the correct size and also come with a very handy universal mounting ring. I contacted Crutchfield to update their fit database but never heard back. I incurred a return shipping fee on the C1-525x speakers despite informing them that their database was incorrect and I ordered that size based on their recommendation. Now that I have the correct size, I must say, the C1-650x speakers sound great and perform fantastic when driven by the optional JL Audio JD400/4 amplifier although the speakers would do well with just a basic receiver built-in amplifier.

Pros: Fantastic speakers for the price. An excellent upgrade over stock. The included universal mounting rings are such a great addition to this set.

Cons: These were not recommend by Crutchfield as a fit for my vehicle, when in fact they do fit. I wasted time and money ordering the wrong Crutchfield recommend size for my vehicle before getting these.

Good Rear Speaker for 2010 Lexus ES350

Sounds decent with oem amp power but would sound better with an aftermarket amp. The mounting bracket sent to me didn't work. The bracket did fit the rear door of my car but the speaker could not be mounted to the bracket. Contacted tech support and they told me that according to their information that bracket is the correct one. I had to go to my local electronics store to buy the correct brackets and wiring harness (Crutchfield couldn't send me the harness due to backorder issues).

ALRIGHT YALL! I do not do reviews. Thats how impressed I am with these. So I have a 2019 Hyundai Elantra and the stock speakers are awful. I went to get them upgraded and was quoted $1800. I am not 18 anymore and have no desire for my car to bump down the road. I just want my music to sound good lol. THANK GOD one of my friend told me about Crutchfield. I chose to put the C1-650 in my front doors and the C1-650x in the back. Crutchfield hooked me up with the harnesses, mounts, and recommended a couple other tools I might need. They were cheaper than I could find online so I bought that stuff too. Glad I did-the swap took me about 15 minutes per door, saved me over $1500, and they sound AMAZING. I am so grateful! Thank you Crutchfield for being the best at what you do. You have a customer for life. If youre on the fence about whether or not these are for you-they are! BUY THEM.

These are a great upgrade from the factory speakers. The install is pretty straight forward when installed using the adapter rings and harness.

I installed the jl audio speakers (6.5" ) in a 2019 370z, and they sound amazing. The best word to describe them would be clarity. You can hear every instrument and understand the vocals. Not a heavy bass sound. The install went smoothly although I used the jl audio brackets, not the schoche. They were thicker and fit the 370z opening better. A fine looking speaker and appears well made.

Verified employee review (What's this?)

This was one of the easiest speaker installs I've done. The hardest part was putting the trim panel back on... not the speakers' fault. A few hints if you're putting these in a back of a bug: - The rubber surrounds from the factory speakers are reusable on these because there is a little lip between the edge of the speaker frame and the foam. That likely isn't true for all speaker brands. - The factory screws are reusable...no special modifications or drilling required. - Crutchfield included FREE wiring adapters. Without them, you may have to install them upside down because the stock connector is on top and on the outside, while the new connection is on the bottom, behind the mounting surface. The trim panel covers the logo, anyway. - To put the trim panel back on, you must be an octopus. Put the three metal clips along the top edge on the car, NOT on the panel itself. Drop/shove the panel into place by looking through the glass from the outside. Hold the top edge in place while lifting the seat cushion up and hinging the backrest forward and back with your third and fourth arms, respectively. With your remaining appendages, kick the panel back into place by simultaneously striking the panel exactly on the strategically located plastic pins you broke half of when you removed the panel. It may be helpful to learn some German profanity before beginning this project. The speakers sound noticeably different than stock. Better, yes, but not cra

Pros: Great sound for the price. Much better materials than stock. It's cool that the speakers are coaxial...the crossover circuit is attached, so that's easier and less expensive than component setups. The yellow matches the car, but it's hard to see in this install. If your grills are relatively transparent, these look cool and they have a JL logo on the tweeter. Thanks to Crutchfield including the wiring adapters, this install took less than an hour and only required a pry tool and a

Cons: The connections bend too easily. These have an intense, exaggerated high frequency response. It'll tune out with some tweaking, but with the EQ flat, they're all sizzle and mids. Bass response is not great, but you're buying a sub, right. Yes, you are. Buy a sub. It is required. Then use the HPF setting so you don't let the magic smoke out of these speakers. These aren't really cons, they're just very noticeable things because the stock speakers are paper and were literally made l

Great sound quality, fantastic highs and pretty good mids. These speakers sound great at almost any volume. The one qualm that I have with these though is that the bass is almost completely missing. JL did a good job with these but they are also a little bit pricey for the lack of bass. I have 4 of them in my car and once I add a subwoofer I think these will knock it out of the park!

These speakers really sound great! I have not spent this much on door speakers before, so I was in uncharted waters. I was not disappointed. They fit great in the front doors and rear doors of my 2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD Duramax despite the wrong advise I was given. I was told these would not fit in the rear door of my crew cab because of clearance issues. I have no idea what they were looking at, there is still over an inch of space between the tweeter and the factory Bose grill.

Such a difference over Subaru Legacy factory default speakers

Keith W from INDIANAPOLIS, IN on 9/23/2019

2016 Subaru Legacy

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Installed a pair of these in the rear doors of a 2016 Subaru Legacy. This model of Legacy did not have any factory audio upgrades, so only the bare minimum components were in the car (all six of the factory Subaru speakers weighed less than one of these JL units!). I did not do anything other than change the speakers but the result is astonishing. We left the factory wiring and head unit unmodified. I did add some foam pads to the door panels directly behind the speakers' drivers on each door as a countermeasure to distortion. After adding the C1-690 component 6x9 speakers in the front doors (the tweeters went into the dashboard corner speaker positions), the sound is so much more full. It is brighter and the bass is now richer. This mod-upgrade achieved exactly what I wanted to do - which was to improve the system sound without changing the factory infotainment head or spending a ton of money on amps and modifications to the car itself. My son and I did the work, and it was fun. We had a devil of a time getting the Subaru wiring harnesses in the door panels to unplug, which had to be the worst part of the whole installation.

Pros: Mac at Crutchfield helped me to craft a solution that met my objectives, and we did it all via a chat window. Mac was very professional and knowledgeable - thanks! These JL units specialize in working well to improve under-powered factory head units.

Cons: The Metra mounting rings took a while to understand. It seemed they did not supply all the hardware we needed to attach the speakers, but we figured it out eventually.

I got this for my 2016 Honda Civic LX-P Coupe to replace the 5" screen. I also got the ready harness and the thing that makes the backup camera work. when I received everything in the mail and opened it all up, it was a bit daunting to say the least. However, after the 2 or so hours this took me to install (with the help of extremely knowledgable Crutchfield guys over the phone), I can truly say ANYONE can do this install. Just take your time and you'll get it. I've only had it installed for a day but so far i love it. It's very simple and straightforward which is all I was looking for. And the AUX input in the front is wonderful. Backup camera works automatically when I go into reverse, however it does flicker once before staying on the screen. I've seen someone else say this happened to them too, so maybe it just happens on some cars. Anyways, sound is great, easy to use, looks great!

Pros: easy to install (with ready harness) Looks nice Easy to use

Cons: Backup Camera flickers once right after popping up on screen.

Weak speakers

Matt from Saco, maine on 5/22/2019

2008 Chevrolet Silverado

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

These speakers were recommended to me by a local audio store and I decided to buy them off this site since they were cheaper well let me tell you they aren't what everyone said they were the stock speakers in my Silverado can handle more than these can. Very muddy and choppy for one and there isn't much insulation with the install kit so they rattle a good amount. Definitely don't recommend these to anyone maybe I'm doing something wrong idk.

Pros: Good at a low volume.

Cons: Can't handle any loudness, muddy+choppy, poor insulation

Verified employee review (What's this?)

I purchased these in May 2017 and installed them in the front doors of a 2007 Honda Civic Sedan. They worked well for about 18 months. The tweeter that is located in the center of the speaker came loose and vibrated. The vibration from the speaker was so bad that I could not listed to them. I replaced the speakers with another brand. When I removed the JL speaker and inspected it there were no signs of any damage. In fact the speaker looks brand new. These speakers only carry a 1 year warranty but something like this should not have happened. The life span of these speakers should have been much longer than 18 months.

Pros:

Cons: Speaker failed after 18 months. Warranty is 1 year.

I boight these and the C1 5 1/4. I am going to be taking them out and putting in different speakers. They are clear but very lacking. I have an Alpine f300 4x50 pushing them and I can hear them clipping about 2/3 of the way up on the volum. I wasn't expecting competition quality but i thought they would be loud and they are not without distorting. Everything was installed professionally.

Pros: Clear.

Cons: Not loud at all. No mids all high.

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

The JL Audio C1-650x provided exactly what I expected when I ordered it - Clarity. The sound in my wife's RX350 was muddy and boomy, so I decided to upgrade the speakers with something that had high efficiency, good range and precision. I had used JL Audio speakers once before and they were my first choice. I upgraded the front 6x9 speakers with JL Audio C1-690x speakers. That gave solid, clear sound from the front but the rear was still muddy. Your website showed that some 6 1/2" speakers would fit in the rear but not JL Audio, so I order the C1-650x with the SAT6 adapter for other 6 1/2" speakers and modified the SAT6 for the C1-650x. They fit and sound great! The sound is now loud enough, clear and has good solid but precise bass. They sound like Definitive Technology speakers for the car.

JL is the only brand for speakers

Ryan from Flemington, NJ on 10/24/2017

2018 Subaru WRX

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I bought these speakers for my 2018 WRX for the front doors - temporarily, until I move them to the rear doors and put the JL C2 speakers in the front. Overall, there's not a whole lot I can say about these speakers. JL quality is phenomenal so I wasn't surprised with these. The clarity in the midrange and high tones are amazing. I went with JL for my speakers because I already own a subwoofer (the TW3 12") which is fantastic as well. These speakers don't have a lot of bass, which is expected (that's what the subwoofer is for) but by themselves they would sound great still. I haven't replaced the rear door speakers or the dash tweeters yet, but even just having the front doors done makes a world of difference and I'm glad that it worked the way I wanted it to! Don't even consider any other speaker. These are loud, clear, and free of any sort of obnoxious shrill in the high notes, or distortion in the low.

Pros: Perfect clarity No shrill high notes or distorted lows

Cons: The mounting brackets were useless, but it's okay because I bought others

Sound great for the price!

Trip from Mount Shasta, CA on 10/22/2017

2002 Subaru Forester

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Pretty solid fidelity for the price. I would love a flatter response and better soundstage, but, as all thing high performance, that takes a good deal more money. These are clear but tweeter heavy for my taste. Nonetheless, they are efficient, punchy, and clear with the Alpine's 18 watt output. I don't listen at ear splitting volume so your mileage may vary. They certainly should be an upgrade for most stock speakers. They were for mine. It's an older car so for the money these give me some fidelity without me wanting to strip out the stereo when I pass the car on. I put JL C1 4" in the rear. Going to add a sub as it needs some better low end warmth and punch, especially at freeway noise levels. Great entry level stuff from JL.

Pros: Reasonably high fidelity at a low price point. They don't seem to need a lot of power to sound good, and stay clear and punchy with only 18 watts RMS running them.

Cons: Hard to install in my Subaru. Supplied brackets wouldn't work and holes in the speakers won't line up with my stock brackets. Tweeter heavy sound (can be tamed a bit with good eq skills but tricky to get a flatter/even response from these entry level speakers) - some ear fatigue as a result.

Worked ok, failed after 3 months

Steve from Fairfield County, CT on 10/2/2017

2013 Hyundai Accent

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

They worked well for 3 months, I was using them as rear door speakers for a 5 speaker system, 1 subwoofer, powered by an ALPINE PDR-V75. They were handling the full frequency range, I have Polk Audio DB6502 component speakers in the front doors covering 80hz and up, and a marvelous Skar Audio EV-12MB S2 12" Single 2O sub covering 0 to 250 hz. The JL Audio's were filling out the lower and mid frequencies between the Polks and the Skar Audio sub nicely, until one of the JL's failed completely and the other's tweeter broke off from the driver and was keeled over sideways. It's time to upgrade to a better set of speakers...

Pros: Price, performance ok for the price

Cons: not ready for prime time long term performance.

These speaker weren't what I thought they'd be after reading such great reviews. I put these in my rear doors of my sierra and ran them on my rockford fosgate T400.4 and I'm let down. My front doors have the JL TR650-csi and they carry the weight for the car because these speakers just don't do justice. They look great. They feel great. But in my opinion you should maybe give something else a try. I've been having these a few weeks and I'm already ready to up grade.

Pros: Crutchfield is awesome They feel great and look even better

Cons: Coming from a JL speaker I thought they'd sound better.

I don't have much to say. These are awesome replacements for my Genesis coupe speakers. Old ones were starting to make odd noise when the bass hits. So I was looking in getting something that sounded really good with the base amp, and to what is available for the car. Sounds cleaner, more crisp, and more bass, to what the car came from the Factory. This model ended in the rear set for my car. Crutchfield provides instructions for you car, and adapters so you have have to do any modifications or wire cutting. No charge! Purchased with C1-650 for the Fronts

Pros: Sound is clean More Crisp Bigger Bass to compared I had previous.

Cons: None!

Purchased the JL Audio C1-650x to replace the factory rear 6.5's in a 2011 Toyota Tacoma Double cab (non JBL). You will need to fabricate or purchase a speaker mount to fit these to the rear door. I fabricated a mount from 1/2" starboard and the speaker fit was exact in terms of door panel fit and mounting depth. The C1's provide detail and clarity. I am running JL Audio C1-690's in the front and these match perfectly.

Pros: Great sound Great value

Cons: No speaker mount available from Crutchfield / JL Audio
