JL Audio
C6-650cw
6.5" Component Woofer
Overview
Born from shared technologies used in JL Audio's flagship C7 speakers, the C6-650cw component woofer benefits from vast woofer design experience and advanced modeling systems of JL Audio.
Ideal for active systems, the C6-650cw component woofer features a proprietary cast alloy frame outfitted with JL Audio's Elevated Frame Cooling™ technology and a DMA-optimized motor system to generate outstanding midbass impact with ultralow distortion.
Passive crossover networks are not included with C6 drivers, as they are designed for active systems. Instead, we recommend a high-quality tuning digital signal processor, such as the JL Audio TwK® DSP, or a VXi amplifier with built-in DSP, with a dedicated amplifier channel for each C6 loudspeaker in the system. Precise setup of equalization, delay and crossover filters will ensure optimal in-vehicle performance.
Premium passive crossover networks are included with each C6-650 component system. Featuring four levels of tweeter adjustment, these outboard filter networks are equipped with premium polyester film and electrolytic capacitors as well as low-loss air-core inductors — all accessible beneath a protective, polycarbonate cover.
Woofer grilles are included, each consisting of a black grille tray and a fine steel mesh grille with an electroformed JL Audio badge logo. Speakers sold as a pair.
Component woofers are sold individually and include a plastic grille tray, one fine steel mesh grille and one electroformed JL Audio badge logo.
C6 Woofer Features
- Forged and machined motor plates with DMA-optimized geometries to create linear motor force under power, leading to outstanding midbass impact, linearity and low distortion
- Large diameter, linear profile, flat spider for linear compliance and outstanding excursion capability
- Center cap designed to optimize the high-frequency response of the woofer for seamless transition to a tweeter’s response
- Oversized voice coil for extended power handling capability, minimizing thermal compression and distortion at higher listening levels
- Cast alloy frame withJL Audio's Elevated Frame Cooling feature
- Includes fine mesh grille
Design Bandwidth
- With 48 dB/octave filters: 55 Hz-6 kHz
- With 24 dB/octave filters: 65 Hz-6 kHz
- With 12 dB/octave filters: 80 Hz-6 kHz
DMA Optimized Motor
JL Audio's proprietary Dynamic Motor Analysis system is a powerful suite of FEA-based modeling systems, first developed by JL Audio in 1997 and refined over the years to scientifically address the issue of speaker motor linearity. This leads to vastly reduced distortion and faithfully reproduced transients... or put simply: tight, clean, articulate bass.
Elevated Frame Cooling
JL Audio's Elevated Frame Cooling design delivers cool air through slots directly above the top-plate to the voice coil of the speaker. This not only enhances power handling, but also sound quality by minimizing dynamic parameter shifts and power compression.
Dr. Kurt Müller & Co.
When the goal is superior component woofer performance, the things that truly matter are: consistency in cone mass, cone thickness and suspension compliance. This is why we turn toJL Audio's partners at Germany's Dr. Kurt Müller & Co. for critical cone and suspension elements inJL Audio's top-flight component woofers. Their track record of manufacturing precision and meticulous quality control is very well established in the loudspeaker industry; although most loudspeaker manufacturers prefer to avoid the premium that this quality commands.
While it has become fashionable to use stiff, exotic materials for component speaker cones, these tend to create upper mid-range colorations that require aggressive crossover designs and/or equalization to control. By contrast, Müller's low mass, mineral-filled polypropylene cones and butyl rubber surrounds are inherently well damped to deliver an uncolored, neutral midrange without any "artificial flavoring". This keeps crossover design simple and renders a smooth, clean mid-range presentation, on and off axis.
