DESCRIPTION
HELIX Ci3 K130.2-S3
HELIX COMPOSITE. The perfect speaker for any composition.
Born out of the increasingly demanding challenges of modern automobile technology and the HELIX-typical pursuit of intelligent solutions, we made the progressive redesign of proven universal speaker systems our mission. The result: our innovative HELIX COMPOSE platform that, according to the motto "developed inside the vehicle, for the vehicle", combines classic universal speakers with the advantages of vehicle-specific systems. Innovative materials and the latest technologies paired with smart, practical engineering - the best of both worlds in harmony: high efficiency, fantastic sound quality and enormous dynamics that fit in any vehicle. HELIX COMPOSE – universal speakers evolved.
Performance highlights
The i3 component systems give you everything you would expect from a great 2-way system: A first-class sound experience that, thanks to the use of high-quality materials and its particularly smart engineering, conveniently finds its way into the automobile. All components harmonize perfectly and form an ideal team with our HELIX and MATCH amplifiers, guaranteeing maximum performance and power output at all times. Furthermore, we implemented our new, mechanical technologies with a clear focus on safety during connection and operation for the purpose of creating ideal conditions for the integration into the vehicle with maximum compatibility.
High efficiency
HELIX COMPOSE equals smart engineering and accordingly implements highly efficient 3 Ohm technology, which perfectly harmonizes with all HELIX and MATCH amplifiers and at the same time allows a clearly perceptible plus in efficiency and maximum sound pressure.
Cenosphere paper cone
With the innovative "Cenosphere" coating, hollow spheres are incorporated into a polyamide layer that is applied to the cone. This process increases the stiffness and also optimizes its internal damping. The result is an exceptionally stable yet lightweight cone that offers outstanding precision in sound reproduction.
High-tech polymer basket
All HELIX COMPOSE i7 and i3 speaker baskets are made of a high-tech polymer composite, which has been additionally reinforced with glass spheres. The result: maximum stability with minimal self-resonance, while also eliminating flux modulation of the magnetic system and maximum resistance to thermal influences. Last but not least, this allows for much more compact basket dimensions and thus simplified installations in cramped installation conditions.
Stunning Highs and outstanding stability
The 0.75” / 20 mm tweeter is equipped with an innovative titanium dome that combines outstanding stability with low moving mass and high inner damping as well as enormous thermal resistance - perfectly made for brilliant and compression-free treble reproduction.
Perfectly separated
Our Ci3 FX-UNI.2 crossover is designed for the ideal use with our HELIX COMPOSE i3 components, and thus for the COMPOSE-typical, professional integration into the vehicle. It offers a 6-stage tweeter level adjustment with 12 dB slope for optimal adaptation to the installation position as well as an integrated tweeter 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 perfectly suited for installation in tight spaces and is furthermore compatible with our COMPOSE Connect and WireKit technologies for a safe and fool-proof connection according to automotive standards.
COMPOSE Connect
Kiss tinkering and soldering goodbye. Compose Connect is the sophisticated plug-in connection that considerably simplifies car audio installation in conjunction with HELIX COMPOSE components. Proprietary plastic housings into which standard flat plugs and couplings can be snapped, establish an absolutely safe connection in accordance with automotive standards that prevents any polarity reversal.
FlexMount20 – Universal meets car-specific
FlexMount20 is a mounting system based on specially developed adapter rings, allowing the installation of COMPOSE FlexMount tweeters in an almost infinite number of vehicles. Thus, the universal tweeter effortlessly becomes a vehicle-specific tweeter, that can be easily installed in the original installation position of the vehicle in an acoustically optimized way with the matching FlexMount20 adapter ring.
WireKits - Plug & Play at its best
Our WireKits realize the connection of HELIX COMPOSE speaker kit to the original wiring harness in the most comfortable way. With manufacturing according to the high standards of the automotive industry, these arrestable adapter cables meet all requirements for the harsh environmental conditions that installers are facing in vehicles every day.
