HELIX Ci3 K165.2FM-S3 MK2

HELIX Ci3 K165.2FM-S3 MK2 2-way compo loudspeaker

HELIX COMPOSE. The perfect speaker for every composition

Born out of the increasingly demanding challenges of modern vehicle technology and the HELIX-typical quest for intelligent solutions, we made the progressive redesign of proven universal loudspeaker systems our mission. The result: the innovative HELIX COMPOSE platform, which combines classic universal loudspeakers with the advantages of vehicle-specific systems according to the guiding principle "developed in the car, for the car"

Innovative materials and the latest technologies paired with smart, practical engineering - the best of both worlds in harmony: very high efficiency, fantastic sound quality and enormous dynamics that fit into any vehicle. HELIX COMPOSE - universal loudspeakers taken to the next level

Performance highlight

The i3 speaker kits offer everything you could wish for from a 2-way system: a first-class sound experience which, thanks to high-quality materials and particularly smart engineering, finds its way into the car very easily and conveniently. All components are ideally matched to each other and also form the perfect team with our HELIX and MATCH amplifiers, guaranteeing maximum performance and power output at all times. In addition, our new mechanical technologies have been implemented with a clear focus on safety during connection and operation, creating ideal conditions for integration into the vehicle with maximum compatibility

Maximum efficiency

HELIX COMPOSE stands for smart engineering and is therefore based on highly efficient 3-ohm technology, which harmonises perfectly with all HELIX and MATCH amplifiers and at the same time enables a noticeable increase in efficiency and maximum sound pressure. Individual models will also be available as an optional 2 Ohm version, which, in conjunction with the appropriate amplifiers, will get the absolute maximum performance and power out of the respective loudspeaker component

Cenosphere paper cone

With the innovative "Cenosphere" coating, hollow microspheres are embedded in a polymer layer and applied to the membrane. This process increases rigidity and also optimises internal damping. The result is an exceptionally stable yet lightweight cone that offers outstanding precision in sound reproduction

High-tech polymer composite basket

All HELIX COMPOSE i7 and i3 speaker baskets are made from a high-tech polymer composite material, which is additionally reinforced with glass spheres. The result: maximum stability with minimum natural resonance, whereby flux modulation of the magnet system is also excluded and there is also maximum resistance to thermal influences. Finally, the cage dimensions are much more compact, which simplifies installation in confined spaces

Natural brilliance and precise detail resolution

The 20 mm tweeter comes with an elegant aluminium dome tweeter with a black finish, which impresses with its perfect balance of low weight and high rigidity. In combination with the revised, particularly efficient neodymium magnet system, the result is even more precise, clearer and more detailed tweeter reproduction. The result is a natural brilliance with the finest resolution and impressive dynamics - for a listening experience at the highest level

Perfectly separated

The crossover is designed for optimum use with our HELIX Compose i3 components, and therefore for the professional integration into the vehicle that is typical of COMPOSE. It offers a 6-stage high-frequency level adjustment with 12 dB slope for optimum adaptation to the installation position as well as integrated high-frequency protection

In addition, no effort was spared in the complex tuning of the crossover for the best possible distribution of the frequency band and a harmonious sound image. Thanks to its compact dimensions, the Ci3 FX-UNI.2 is perfect for installation in space-saving installations and is compatible with our COMPOSE Connect and WireKit technologies for maximum operational reliability and minimisation of installation errors

COMPOSE Connect

Say goodbye to tinkering and soldering. Compose Connect is the sophisticated plug connection that makes car audio installation in conjunction with HELIX COMPOSE components considerably easier. Thanks to proprietary plastic housings into which standard flat plugs and couplings can be snapped, a reverse polarity protected and absolutely reliable connection in accordance with automotive standards is made possible

FlexMount20 & FlexMount165 - Universal meets vehicle-specific

FlexMount is a mounting system based on specially developed adapter rings that allows COMPOSE FlexMount speakers to be installed in an almost infinite number of vehicles. This turns the universal speaker into a vehicle-specific speaker in no time at all, which can be installed easily and acoustically optimised in the original installation position of any vehicle using the matching FlexMount ring
