1x JL Audio RD900/5+ RD car 5-channel system amplifier (900 watts) (RD900/5+)
JL Audio RD900/5+
RD car 5-channel system amplifier (900 watts)
SLEEK, POWERFUL, PACKED WITH VALUEThe look is amazing, and the performance backs it up. Designed as a total “one-box solution,” this RD series amplifier from JL Audio can comfortably drive a complete 4-satellite speaker system plus a subwoofer — all with a robust 900 watts of power.
EFFICIENT CLASS-D DESIGN
Small size, minimal heat and lots of power — Class-D amplifier design offers significant advantages. And our NexD™ switching technology adds even more, using enhanced pulse width modulation techniques to boost the amplifier’s bandwidth while minimizing distortion and improving efficiency.
CLEAN, POWERFUL, RELIABLE
Churning out 900 watts of total power — 100 watts from each of its 4 channels into a 2-ohm load (14.4 volts, 1% THD) plus a robust 500 watts for a subwoofer — this RD series amp brings stunning output to your audio system. Each pair of main channels is also fully bridgeable, enabling an ultrapowerful 3-channel amplifier setup.
STUDIO-GRADE SIGNAL PROCESSING
Each of the amplifier’s main channels is equipped with a 12-decibel/octave high-pass filter, with an additional band-pass filter on its rear channels and a dedicated low-pass filter for the subwoofer channel. All 3 crossovers offer continuously variable frequency selection from 50–500 Hz for precise filtering.
LED CLIPPING INDICATOR RINGS
An LED clipping indicator light on the control panel lets you quickly set your amplifier’s input sensitivity, without the need for additional test equipment.
EASY CONNECTIVITY
With “input type” switches on the stereo channel sections, RD series amps can eliminate the need for Y-adapters when bridging stereo output channels.
BAND-PASS CROSSOVER
When used as a system amplifier, the band-pass crossover feature enables a two-way active configuration.

1x JL Audio C2-650x:6.5-inch (165 mm) Coaxial Speaker System (Pair) (C2-650x)
JL Audio C2-650x
Coaxial Speaker System: 6.5-inch (165 mm) Woofer, 0.75-inch (19 mm) Silk Dome Tweeter
The Evolution C2 systems deliver sparkling high-frequency detail, smooth mid-range and powerful mid-bass, thanks to real silk dome tweeters and precision-engineered woofer designs.
The C2-650x system features 6.5-inch (165 mm) woofers with mineral-filled polypropylene cones, long excursion capabilities and stamped steel frames. The woofer design benefits from JL Audio's vast woofer design experience and advanced modeling systems.
The 6.5-inch (165 mm) format is a direct fit in many vehicles. Multiple mounting patterns are provided on the woofer frame for easy installation into most vehicles that accept a 6.5-inch (165 mm) speaker.
Tweeters are coaxially mounted and built with 0.75-inch silk dome diaphragms that deliver smooth, extended response, on and off axis. The small size of the C2 tweeter minimizes tweeter protrusion, allowing C2 coaxials to fit behind most factory speaker grilles.
Sold as a pair.

1x JL Audio 10TW3-D4: 10-inch (250 mm) Subwoofer Driver Dual 4 Ohm (10TW3-D4)
JL Audio 10TW3-D4
TW3 10-inch Subwoofer Driver (400 W, dual 4 Ω voice coils)
Building on the core technology of our TW5 thin-line subwoofers, the new TW3’s deliver a powerful combination of shallow mounting depth and excursion capability. In fact, they are capable of greater excursion than the W3v3’s.
To allow this remarkable feat to be achieved, JL Audio’s patented thin-line woofer technology compresses the architecture of the TW3’s using a “concentric tube” structure built into the injection-molded cone body. This structure supports the voice coil and a full annular spider, while permitting the placement of the large motor structure further forward in the speaker than with conventional designs.
TW3’s are optimized for small enclosures and offer our tab-ear mounting design to maximize cone area within their mounting footprints. We know you’re going to love working with these amazing subwoofer drivers.
Deep, powerful and accurate JL Audio bass is now possible in more applications than ever.
- Very shallow mounting depth (3.25 / 3.50 Inches)
- No pole vent: permits mounting close to rear wall of enclosure.
- Very small sealed enclosure volume requirements
- Very long linear excursion capability (0.60 In / 15.2 mm, one-way)
- DMA-optimized motor designs
- Patented “concentric tube” architecture
- Patented “floating cone attach method” technology
- Cast alloy frame
- Injection molded, mica-filled polypropylene cone
- Rubber surround

1x JL Audio RBC-1:Remote Bass Control (RBC-1)
JL Audio RBC-1: Remote Bass Control
Remote Bass Control for Select JL Audio Amplifiers
The RBC-1 remotely controls the Bass Level of the following JL Audio amplifiers:
JX-Series: JX250/1, JX500/1, JX1000/1D
When the RBC-1 is connected to the above amplifiers, it acts as an attenuator on the input gain of the amplifier and is used to adjust the overall level of the amplifier from the front of the vehicle.
The RBC-1 remotely controls the Bass EQ boost feature of the following JL Audio amplifiers:
Slash v2 Series: 250/1v2, 500/1v2, 1000/1v2, 450/4v2
Original Slash Series: 500/1, 1000/1, 450/4, 500/5
G-Series: All Models
A-Series: All Models
e-Series: All Models (including marine versions)
M-Series: M1400, M1700, M2150, M2250, M4300, M4500, M6450, M6600
When the RBC-1 is connected to the above amplifiers, the on-board "Boost" control of the amplifier is defeated and the RBC-1 becomes the active controller.
The RBC-1 kit includes the rotary control with a black ABS knob, mounting hardware and one 18 ft. (5.5 m) cable.
A satin-finish aluminum knob can be purchased separately.
