They are also pricey, but I found mine brand new on Ebay for just under $300. Honestly the cheaper JL component speakers sounded pretty good to me as well.
I would try to demo some different speakers. You will get lots of opinions and usually people will recommend what they own  My installer was really pushing Hertz speakers on me, but I really liked the JL C5's, just not at the price he was quoting me (MSRP). |
Did you get to 2-way or 3 way C5s
I also have been getting the Hertz pushed on me by my installer. But the prices are way up there.
I've heard the C3s and I thought they sounded good.
I want to listen to the JLs and hertz a little more before I decide.
I just wish they were at the same retailer haha
