C7-350CM 3.5-Inch 3-Way Component Midrange Speaker

The JL Audio C7-350CM represents a pinnacle in automotive loudspeaker design, engineered for enthusiasts seeking uncompromising sound quality. This 3.5-inch, 3-way component midrange speaker is crafted for active systems, meaning it is intended to be paired with a separate woofer and tweeter for a complete, high-fidelity audio setup. Its design prioritizes astonishing transient response, ensuring that quick changes in sound are reproduced without distortion for a lifelike listening experience. Featuring a mineral-filled polypropylene cone for excellent damping and low mass, the C7-350CM minimizes distortion while enhancing clarity. The concave dust cap design further contributes to superior high-frequency performance. Internally, a high-density magnetic circuit and a machined U-Yoke motor topology work together to minimize distortion and provide linear motor force across its operating range. The oversized 36 mm (1.42-inch) voice coil enhances power handling and reduces thermal compression, maintaining audio fidelity even at higher volumes. This speaker requires an active crossover, making it ideal for users who want to fine-tune their audio system with a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) like the JL Audio TwK 88. This allows for precise control over equalization, delay, and crossover filters to perfectly match the sound to the vehicle's acoustics and personal preferences. The C7-350CM operates within a frequency range of 300 Hz to 10,000 Hz and handles 50-100 watts RMS, with a peak power handling of 200 watts. It includes a cast-alloy grille tray and offers both fine mesh and spiral grille inserts for aesthetic customization.
