HELIX Ci5 W165FM-S3

HELIX COMPOSE. The perfect loudspeaker for every composition.
Born out of the increasingly demanding challenges of modern vehicle technology and the HELIX-typical pursuit of intelligent solutions, we made the progressive redesign of proven universal loudspeaker systems our mission.

Innovative materials and the latest technologies paired with smart, practical engineering - the best of both worlds in harmony: very high efficiency, fantastic sound quality and enormous dynamics that fit into any vehicle. HELIX COMPOSE - universal loudspeakers taken to the next level.

The sound sensation for discerning music lovers
The HELIX COMPOSE i5 series is the link between the i7 and i3, created for discerning music lovers with an unbridled ambition for a true hi-fi experience. A fusion of phenomenal sound and unsurpassed practicality: developed with the vision of unique speaker highlights that are also true problem solvers. The impedances of all speakers are perfectly matched to our HELIX and MATCH amplifiers, guaranteeing maximum performance and power output at all times. In addition, we have implemented our COMPOSE-exclusive mechanical technologies, which offer unrivaled practical benefits.

Maximum efficiency
HELIX COMPOSE stands for smart engineering and is therefore based on the highly efficient 3 Ohm technology, which harmonizes perfectly with all HELIX and MATCH amplifiers and at the same time enables a clearly noticeable increase in efficiency and maximum sound pressure.

Versatility in perfection
The Ci5 W165FM-S3 bass-midrange driver is a true all-rounder within the COMPOSE platform. Thanks to its finely balanced acoustic tuning, it masters use in both classic two-way setups and complex three-way systems with ease. A central component of this versatility is the precisely manufactured phase plug, which not only reduces mechanical compression and supports a more even sound dispersion, but also significantly improves the impulse response in the upper mid-range. Matching the color of the Ci5 T25FM-CA's dome tweeter also results in a harmonious visual unit - ideal for overall concepts that are well thought out in terms of both sound and appearance. The extremely rigid yet lightweight paper cone has a high-quality silicate coating and ensures a high level of damping and stability that suppresses unwanted resonances. The result is an all-rounder that impresses in every discipline with precision, dynamics and a clear focus on musical expressiveness.

High-tech polymer composite basket
All HELIX COMPOSE i7 and i3 speaker baskets are made from a high-tech polymer composite material, which is additionally reinforced with glass spheres. The result: maximum stability with minimum natural resonance, whereby flux modulation of the magnet system is also excluded and there is also maximum resistance to thermal influences. Last but not least, this enables significantly more compact basket dimensions and thus simplified installations in confined installation conditions.

FlexMount165 - Universal meets vehicle-specific
FlexMount is a mounting system based on specially developed adapter rings, which enables the installation of COMPOSE FlexMount speakers in an almost infinite number of vehicles. In no time at all, the universal speaker is transformed into a vehicle-specific speaker, which can be installed easily and acoustically optimized in the original installation position of any vehicle using the matching FlexMount ring.

ProConnect - The new industry standard
Our innovative ProConnect terminal reflects the new industry standard: This is a professional, automotive plug connection, which is designed for a secure connection with our WireKits, but also allows the use of conventional speaker cables as well as vehicle-specific adapter cables via flat plugs and therefore offers maximum flexibility in the design of the sound system upgrade. In addition, the connection is interlocked, offers protection against reverse polarity and is electrically and mechanically highly resilient.
