Between the Evolution XR series & the Evolution C5 series?
(Coaxial speakers)

They are completely different speakers.

• C5 woofer is based on their ZR woofer (Cast Alloy Frame)
• better cooling for woofer
• better motor structure
• .75" silk dome tweeters instead of 1" aluminum dome
• better crossover
• fixed tweeter - not adjustable to aim like the XR

I had the xr components in my car, replaced them with C5-650 components. They're powered by JL 450/4. They are a much better speaker. They can handle more power( I cooked two xr-650's). The C5's sound fantastic at all volumes. The midrange is good and those silk tweeters are smooth.I have the xr-525's as rear fill but the C5's carry most of the weight.

Didn't see your posts.. I had just made a thread..

The reason I'm asking is I'm going with the ZR series components up front and they use aluminum tweeters..

Wasn't sure if I should stay with the XR & their aluminum tweeters or the new C5's which have silk tweeters..

Is mixing speakers with different tweeters (aluminum + silk) a bad thing?

Im no expert but I think its fine. Like I said I have the C5's up front and XR's in the back and it sounds fine. Everyone whos heard my car audio loves it, And Ive had people who know what theyre talking about give it thumbs up.
