HELIX

Our take on the HELIX Blue B4X

by John Pollard

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.

Blue Series B4X 4

The Blue Series B4X 4" speakers make the most out of the power they're given, so they'll sound great paired up to an factory radio. But they can handle up to 25 watts RMS of real-world power, so hook them up with an aftermarket stereo or a small amp if you really want to bring them to life. The added power gets you better stereo separation, and your ears will thank you for the extra juice.

The drivers

You'll hear excellent high-frequency detail from the 1/2" Mylar dome tweeter, while the polypropylene woofer supplies solid midrange. If you want to enjoy the little details in your music without breaking the bank, you'll want to check out these HELIX speakers. Grilles are included.

Highlights:

  • 4" 2-way speakers (pair)
  • injection-molded polypropylene woofer cone with urethane surround
  • 1/2" Mylar dome tweeter
  • power range: 5-25 watts RMS (75 watts peak power)
  • frequency response: 100-22,000 Hz
  • sensitivity: 89 dB
  • top-mount depth: 1-13/16"
  • grilles included
  • warranty: 2 years

    Our Product Research Team

    At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

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

    • Top Mount Depth: 1.622"
    • Bottom Mount Depth: 1.815"

    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 B 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.

    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    This is about your only choice for Mercedes W123 dash speakers. I installed these in my 1983 300D with some modification to the speaker. I had to trim the metal on one corner of the speakers. These sound excellent even with the OEM Becker radio.
    Pros:
    fit the holes in a Mercedes W123 dash
    Cons:
    Had to trim the metal on the speakers to fit properly
