Early on JBL made components from the LCS (Loudspeaker Component Series) available for Car Audio.
First JBL Car Audio system using the available LCS components? Restored 1963 Chevrolet Impala SS 409 with LE10H's/LE21H's in the read deck, LE5H's in the front doors. Crude but effective for the time. The advent of the Ti domes up'd the ante in a 1965 Chevrolet Impala SS with a 327 "L79" mouse slung between the front fenders.
