About the HELIX E 4X
High fidelity with excellent imaging
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.
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.

Well made. Vast improvement in sound quality in Mersedes 560sl. I do not need rear speakers with these. Installation was a little tough since they have much bigger magnets and would not fit without some grinding and filing. Worth the effort tho. Kept my original radio and improved sound.
