Our Product Research Team

At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Features

Marine Tested: JL Audio's marine speakers go through ultraviolet testing chambers (to simulate years of sun exposure) and salt fog chambers (to simulate years of exposure to salt-water environments.

Woofers: The JL Audio Marine Cockpit Coaxial speaker features an injection-molded, mica-filled polypropylene cone woofer with UV inhibitors, a rubber surround and a precisely engineered dust cap profile for smooth upper-end response. The woofer uses a 1" voice coil, a marine-grade synthetic fiber spider with a progressive roll design and a vented motor structure with a marine grade stainless steel rear diffuser plate.

DMA (Dynamic Motor Analysis): DMA is JL Audio's proprietary method aimed at improving dynamic motor behavior. The DMA-optimized long-excursion design enhances output, bass extension and power handling of the speaker.

Tweeters: The Marine Cockpit Coaxial speaker features a 1" treated silk dome tweeter with a specially formulated treatment to withstand UV and salt-spray exposure. The dome tweeter uses an oversized neodymium magnet for higher efficiency levels and is Ferrofluid-cooled and damped for improved response and power handling capabilities.

Crossover: The JL audio marine speakers utilize a true 2-way crossover network with 1st order low-pass and 2nd order high-pass circuits. The crossover network also features a polyswitch solid-state tweeter protection which prevents tweeter failures due to abuse and resets automatically. The crossover mounts directly to the polymer woofer basket, requiring no additional mounting provision.

Polymer Basket And Grille: The Centrex, UV-resistant polymer basket and grille protects the speaker's woofer, tweeter, crossover and  motor structure from the marine environment.

Infinite-Baffle Operation: The JL Audio M650-CCX-CG-WH  is optimized for infinite-baffle operation so that it can be installed in a variety of locations, without the need for a dedicated enclosure.
