This particular set has technology that rivals the finest playback equipment for the home as well as the car. I have only tried them testing and have not even installed them yet and the results are more than promising. Are they worth almost $1000 a pair?? I'd say yes if the rest of the system is up to par. The mids are among the smoothest I have heard, and the highs... WOW, you could listen to it for days on end without a trace of fatigue. The adjustable crossovers....sublime! I found these a great alternative to those (like me ) who do not want to invest in the time,hassle or $$ building a state of the art custom listening space at home. Why not build it into your car! Quite an investment, but worth every dime if your source equipment can handle their performance. If you are fortunate enough, go listen to a pair, even if they are well out of your budget then you will know what the cutting edge equipment sounds like. The C5 series is also an outstanding choice on a much smaller budget($500 a pair). Many of the features found in the ZR series can be found here with a more affordable tweeter that is also very good, but not quite as revealing. That one is a crazi good value. Their whole line is worth considering after haveing heard many systems out of the JL product line. UPDATE: I installed this system in my car(2006.5 KIA Optima) and the sound is just as expected. Resolution and dynamics are unreal. Soundstage is amazing and very realistic. They would be downright scary if not limited to the factory speaker location of the tweeter grill system intigrated with the A-piller, which I am sure loses about 50% of the spacial sound reproduction. instruments have real defined holographic images in the listining space. Definately a must experience sound. I find myself finding excuses to get in my car for road trips. Nice match with the VR speakers I have serving duty as rear fill in my car.(see other review):)Read full review
I never got a review on these drivers but a good friend who owns a stereo shop said they were amazing at the time of release. I found them once installed in my 2018 Impalas rear deck panels ,deep punchy tones. when snare drums and keyboards are herd crisp and brilliant midbass! Well worth there JL trade mark.Tweeters are soft but loud and sonic at low volume. almost a imax rush of vocal sonics at mid levels A wonderful set!

Installing in a 2007 HUMMER H2. Bought 3 pair for install in truck. I already know that I will pleased because every ZR setup that I have heard I loved. Can't wait to get my install done. Just hate to be without my truck for so long.. FAN OF ALL JL AUDIO HD,ZR and W7 line. IF you can splurge you will not be disappointed. I saved and saved because I wanted great sound in an already awesome truck!
Came fast. Will do busy again. Didnt hook it up yet.

These JL speakers are made in Germany and sound great. The highs are a little brighter than I prefer, but the mids pound away like few others. If you want great sound without breaking the bank, these are the ones to get.
FANTASTIC SOUND QUALITY!! JL AUDIO HAVE EXCELLED THEMSELVES WITH THESE SPEAKERS. I HAVE THEIR XR 2 WAY COMPONENTS IN THE BACK AND THE COMBINATION IS AMAZING. DEFIANTLY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE SERIOUS ABOUT THEIR AUDIO INSTALL.
the best speakers system to me i recomment it to your powerfull sound system and you will take a best system with quality
