About the HELIX E 5X.2
Top-notch 2-ways
Top-notch 2-ways
HELIX lets you tilt the tweeter for the better imaging in your vehicle.
HELIX's audio excellence is on display in their Esprit Series speakers, which offer serious quality for a surprising price. The E 5X.2 5-1/4" 2-way car speakers use an adjustable 3/4" silk dome tweeter that you can tilt to improve imaging in cars with less than optimal tweeter placement. Each speaker features a rigid 5-1/4" woven fiberglass cone that delivers tight midrange and bass reproduction. The durable rubber surround helps this speaker provide exceptional sound for years to come.
These speakers love power
The extremely compact separate 2-way crossovers ensure top performance from these speakers, while the tough stamped-steel baskets provide the stability needed to maintain accurate reproduction when the music's turned up loud. These Esprit E 5X.2 speakers will sound great powered by an aftermarket car stereo, but you'll really do them justice when you power them with an aftermarket amplifier.

Features
Woofer Materials: Each woofer cone is made of woven fiberglass and has a durable butyl 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 5X.2s are shipped with a rubber magnet cover to protect the speaker. If the cover is removed the depth changes slightly:
- Top Mount Depth: 2.056"
- Bottom Mount Depth: 2.182"
Tweeters: Each speaker has a 3/4" silk dome tweeter with a neodymium motor structure. The tweeters can be tilted (up to approximately 25°) so you can direct them toward the listening positions.
Crossover: The 6 dB/octave 2-way crossovers are separate components with the 18" high pass and low pass output wires attached. The inputs are screw terminals that will accept bare wire or spade connectors up to 0.25" wide. The output wires have quick slides attached that easily connect to the terminals on the speakers. The crossover dimensions are:
- Width: 1-3/8"
- Height: 1-1/8"
- Depth: 2-3/4"
