The JL Audio C6-653 is a 6.5" (165 mm) 3-way component speaker system from the Evolution C6 Series, rated at 100W RMS (woofer). It includes 6.5" woofers, 2.75" midrange drivers and 1" silk dome tweeters, with passive crossover networks offering four tweeter and four midrange level adjustments.
The JL Audio C6-653 is a 6.5" (165 mm) three-way component speaker system built around the same engineering principles as JL Audio's flagship designs. The Evolution C6 Series combines advanced acoustic design with premium materials for accurate, powerful sound reproduction. For the 2-way version, see the JL Audio C6-650.
The system includes 6.5" mineral-filled polypropylene woofers, dedicated 2.75" midrange drivers and 1" silk dome tweeters, each optimised for a specific frequency range. The tweeters deliver smooth, detailed high-frequency reproduction with strong off-axis response, while the midrange drivers handle accurate vocal and instrument reproduction.
Premium external passive crossover networks are included, built with polyester film capacitors and air-core inductors. Four tweeter and four midrange level adjustments let installers tune the system to the vehicle's acoustics and speaker placement.
With 100W RMS power handling, a recommended amplifier range of 25–150W per channel and a frequency response of approximately 53 Hz – 21 kHz, the C6-653 is well suited to a quality amplified install.
