About the Helix Blue B57X
German engineering meets car audio
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 B57X 5"x7" speakers make the most out of the power they're given, so they'll sound great paired up to an aftermarket car stereo. But they 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.

Features
Woofer Materials: Each woofer cone is made of Injection-Molded Polypropylene. 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.
Mylar Tweeters: Each speaker has a 1/2" Mylar dome tweeter for clean, accurate highs.
Magnet cover: The B 57X are shipped with a rubber magnet cover to protect the speaker. If the cover is removed the depth changes slightly:
- Top Mount Depth: 2.175"
- Bottom Mount Depth: 2.519"
Size Classification Note: Helix (Audiotec Fischer) calls this speaker a 5x7, but it also fits many 6x8 installation applications. Please refer to the Crutchfield Vehicle Selector to confirm fit in your vehicle.

After blowing one of my more expensive kicker speakers the Crutchfield rep suggested this brand. They were less expensive and I had never heard of them but their quality of build and sound surpassed my expectations. They are being powered by an Alpine head unit
