About the HELIX E 4X

John Pollard

High fidelity with excellent imaging

HELIX's German engineering pedigree really shows up in their Esprit Series speakers, which offer big technological bang for the buck. These E 4X 4" speakers use a 3/4" silk dome tweeter to give you smooth, detailed high frequency reproduction. Each speaker features a rigid 4" woven fiberglass cone that delivers tight midrange and bass reproduction, while the durable rubber surround helps this speaker provide exceptional sound for years to come.

High fidelity with excellent imaging

HELIX's German engineering pedigree really shows up in their Esprit Series speakers, which offer big technological bang for the buck.

Each speaker features a rigid 4" woven fiberglass cone that delivers tight midrange and bass reproduction, while the durable rubber surround helps this speaker provide exceptional sound for years to come.

Built for power

A tough stamped-steel basket houses the woofer and tweeter, providing the stability needed to maintain accurate reproduction when the music's turned up loud. The Esprit E 4X speakers will sound great powered by an aftermarket car stereo, but an outboard amplifier will give you the best audio quality. Grilles are included.

Product Research

Features

Woofer Materials: Each woofer cone is made of woven fiberglass and has a durable rubber surround. This woven fiberglass material is very light and extremely stiff, minimizing cone flex and resulting in faster transients and finer detail.

Magnet cover: The E 4X are shipped with a rubber magnet cover to protect the speaker. If the cover is removed the depth changes slightly:

  • Top Mount Depth: 1.77"
  • Bottom Mount Depth: 1.88"

Tweeters: Each speaker has a 3/4" silk dome tweeter with a neodymium motor structure.

Removable Mounting Tabs: Most 4" factory speakers use four mounting screws, however, in some vehicles, only two are used. In these cases, you can bend the unnecessary mounting tabs until they break off. The E 4X also includes the mounting clips used in some older European cars (in this case, all four mounting tabs are removed). Care should be taken handling the speaker after any tabs are removed because the broken edges may be sharp.

HI Dylan. The speakers should fit but It is possible that you will have to do a little trimming in the rear bar of the dash.

Sorry, I didn't use the grills. I mounted them in the dash of a 1988 Mersedes 560sl. It was a tight fit.
mark  Jan 26, 2015
A
Hi Mark, The answer is that the grill is 51/2 inches in diameter from end to end. The speakers also sound great.
mark  Jan 26, 2015

I don't recall as I install the speakers in a mini which had its own grille.

Sorry, can't help with that. I installed them in the rear deck of an E36 M3 and used the grills that came stock with the car, tossed the Helix grilles.
david  Jan 25, 2015

I kept the factory speaker grills on my 1989 MB 560 SL. Unfortunately can't help you, since I threw out the grills that came with the speakers. BTW, the speakers sound much better with the factory Becker stereo.
miguel  Jan 25, 2015

Sorry, I can't. I used the existing grills in my vehicle. Wish I could have been more helpful.
robert c.  Jan 25, 2015
