German engineering meets car audio
Helix builds their low-profile Blue Series speakers to fit into more factory speaker locations while maintaining their high standards for sound quality. Helix earned its reputation by paying attention to the details, and these speakers really uphold the family name.
The Blue Series B52C 5-1/4" component speakers can handle up to 40 watts RMS of real-world power, so hook them up with an external amplifier if you really want to bring them to life. The added power gets you better bass and more accurate stereo separation, and your ears will thank you for the extra juice.
The drivers
You'll hear excellent high-frequency detail from the 1" silk dome tweeter, while the polypropylene woofer supplies solid, punchy bass.

Product Research
Woofer
Woofer: The B 52C component system includes woofers with injection-molded polypropylene cones and durable rubber surrounds. This process of cone molding assures a uniform cone thickness for superior linearity and clarity. It is also lighter weight and more rigid for decreased distortion and improved bass response.
Magnet cover: The woofers are shipped with a rubber magnet cover to protect the speaker. If the cover is removed the depth changes slightly:
- Top Mount Depth: 1.931"
- Bottom Mount Depth: 2.159"
Tweeter
Tweeter: The system uses 1" silk dome tweeters with neodymium motor structure. The tweeters can be flush mounted, surface mounted, or surface mounted at an angle using the included brackets. Once mounted, the tweeters swivel so you can direct them toward the listening positions.
Tweeter Dimensions:
Frame Width | Frame Length | Cutout Diameter | Mounting Height | Mounting Depth | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Flush Mount | 2.160" | 2.160" | 1.835" | 0.50" | 1.0" |
Surface Mount | 1.845" | 1.845" | N/A | 1.185" | 0.4" (Screw Depth) |
Angled Surface Mount | 1.850" | 1.835" | N/A | 1.355" | 0.4" (Screw Depth) |
