🔊 JL Audio C1-100ct Car Speaker – Precision Highs That Define Detail
If you're serious about perfecting your in-car listening experience, the JL Audio C1-100ct car speaker is a top-tier addition to your setup. These 1-inch component tweeters are compact, crisp, and deliver high-frequency clarity that enhances your favorite tracks. Whether you’re building from scratch or upgrading stock tweeters, the C1-100ct is designed to make a difference.
Pair it with a high-performance midrange driver or car subwoofer, and you’ll unlock stunning audio balance in any ride.
🎵 Clear, Accurate Treble at Every Volume
The JL Audio C1-100ct car speaker features a 1-inch aluminum edge-dome tweeter. That means precise, bright highs without the harshness. Whether you’re listening to acoustic jazz or bass-heavy hip-hop, you’ll appreciate how the C1-100ct preserves detail at any volume.
With a frequency range from 3 kHz to 24 kHz, this car speaker ensures instruments and vocals stay bright and airy. Unlike lower-end tweeters that distort, this one handles peaks effortlessly thanks to its 0.5-inch voice coil and neodymium magnet.
Even at highway speeds, these tweeters slice through road noise, making every note crystal-clear.
🧰 Easy Installation with Multiple Mounting Options
Every car interior is different. That’s why JL Audio includes versatile mounting hardware with each C1-100ct set. Choose from flush-mount, surface-mount, or angled-mount options.
The compact tweeters can fit almost anywhere—A-pillars, dash panels, or mirror sails. With their slim design, you won’t need to cut or modify your car’s interior.
A passive inline crossover is included. It filters out bass frequencies, protecting the tweeter and enhancing overall sound quality.

🌞 Add Window Tint to Protect Your Audio System
Sunlight doesn’t just heat up your car—it can also damage audio gear. UV exposure leads to cracking, fading, and wear.
We recommend Delaware window tinting to preserve your equipment and keep your cabin cool. It shields your dash and speakers from harmful rays, extending their life and maintaining audio clarity.
Tinting also adds privacy, reduces glare, and enhances the comfort of your driving experience.
