JL Audio C3-570cw

JL Audio C3-570cw | Evolution C3 Series 5" x 7" Component Woofer (Single)

The JL Audio C3-570cw (Part Number: 010-03841-00) is a high-performance 5" x 7" / 6" x 8" midrange driver sold as a single unit. Engineered for maximum versatility, it features a unique convertible design that allows it to function as a dedicated midrange in a component system or be transformed into a coaxial speaker with the addition of a C3 tweeter (sold separately). With its DMA-optimized motor, it delivers a punchy, low-distortion performance that matches the output of high-quality 6.5-inch round speakers.

Product Highlights

Mineral-Filled Polypropylene Cone: The C3-570cw utilizes a mica-filled polypropylene cone and a durable rubber surround. This combination provides the stiffness and damping required for accurate, high-detail midrange reproduction and a smooth roll-off.

DMA-Optimized Motor Structure: Using JL Audio's proprietary Dynamic Motor Analysis (DMA), the motor is engineered to maintain a stable magnetic field over a wide range of power. This reduces distortion and ensures the speaker stays clean and controlled, even when pushed to its limits during high-volume sessions.

Elevated Frame Cooling (EFC): The patented Elevated Frame Cooling design delivers cool air directly to the voice coil through slots in the frame. This thermal management improves power handling and minimizes power compression, keeping your audio consistent during long periods of use.

Convertible Design with Phase Plug: This woofer comes with a removable component phase plug. For component installations, the phase plug improves high-frequency dispersion; for coaxial setups, it can be swapped with a tweeter post to mount a C3 tweeter directly in the center of the woofer.

Key Features

Injection-Molded Polymer Basket: The woofer is housed in a glass-filled polymer frame that is both corrosion-resistant and non-magnetic. This robust structure prevents interference with the motor's magnetic field, ensuring pure sound reproduction.

Oversized 1.2-inch Voice Coil: The large-diameter voice coil provides superior power handling and thermal capacity compared to standard speakers, allowing for a more robust and "meaty" mid-bass response.

Superior Oval Performance: JL Audio’s engineering ensures that this oval driver delivers the same cone area and efficiency as a 6.5-inch round speaker, proving that you don't have to sacrifice performance to fit a factory oval opening.

Clean and Powerful Sonic Character: Tightly controlled by a flat spider and advanced motor modeling, the C3-570cw is designed for listeners who demand a high-impact, audiophile-grade midrange performance.
