JL Audio C3-650cw | 6.5-inch (165 mm) Component Woofer
The JL Audio C3-650cw is a high-performance 6.5-inch woofer that serves as the backbone of a premium audio system. Engineered for maximum versatility, this driver can be used as a dedicated woofer in a component system or converted into a coaxial speaker with the addition of a C3 tweeter. It features JL Audio’s most advanced cooling and motor technologies to deliver punchy mid-bass and crisp midrange with minimal distortion.
Product Highlights
-
Convertible Design: Offers the flexibility to be installed as a separate component woofer or transformed into a coaxial configuration for tighter spaces.
-
DMA-Optimized Motor: Utilizes Dynamic Motor Analysis to maintain a stable magnetic field during high excursion, resulting in significantly cleaner and more accurate bass response.
-
Elevated Frame Cooling: This patented design allows air to flow directly over the voice coil, significantly improving power handling and reducing thermal compression during long listening sessions.
-
Glass-Filled Polymer Basket: A non-resonant, non-magnetic frame that ensures the motor’s energy is focused entirely on the cone for maximum efficiency.
Key Features
-
Mineral-Filled Polypropylene Cone: Provides the ideal balance of stiffness and damping for a natural, uncolored sound across the frequency spectrum.
-
Large 1.2-inch Voice Coil: Substantially larger than standard 6.5-inch drivers, allowing for higher power handling and better control over the woofer's movement.
-
Progressive-Roll Spider: Precisely controls the cone's movement at high volumes, preventing mechanical noise and ensuring linear travel.
-
High-Excursion Capability: Designed to move more air than traditional speakers, providing the "thump" you expect from a premium JL Audio component.
