Gladen Beta 165 - X

The GLADEN BETA 165-X is a high-quality 2-way coaxial speaker that combines natural, precise, and balanced sound reproduction with easy vehicle integration. As an upgrade to stock speakers, the system offers improved detail reproduction, clear mids, and controlled bass. Within the GLADEN speaker series, the BETA series is positioned between the ALPHA and GAMMA series.

The 165-mm low-midrange driver features a classic paper cone with excellent damping properties, enabling clean, neutral sound reproduction. A robust Nomex suspension and the 25-mm voice coil ensure controlled and dynamic reproduction in the midrange and bass frequencies.

The centrally integrated 20-mm tweeter with a silk dome diaphragm delivers pleasant, detailed highs and uniform sound dispersion. The coaxial design creates a harmonious soundstage with stable spatial imaging. The integrated crossover ensures a smooth transition between the low-midrange driver and the tweeter.

Thanks to its low impedance of 3 ohms and efficient design, the GLADEN BETA 165-X is suitable for direct connection to compatible factory radios as well as compact car audio amplifiers. Its space-saving design allows for easy integration into numerous standard 165-mm speaker mounting locations.
