Helix CB K130.2-S3 – 5.25″ 2-way component system, 3 Ω
The CB K130.2-S3 is a 130 mm 2-way component set from the COMPOSE BASIC series – the entry line of the HELIX COMPOSE platform, a reworked generation of universal speakers developed in the vehicle for the vehicle. BASIC delivers the essentials for good sound and is matched to HELIX and MATCH amplifiers.
The 3 Ω design brings a noticeable gain in efficiency and sound pressure. The midbass uses a lightweight, stiff injected polypropylene cone in a steel basket with ventilation holes, while the 20 mm tweeter combines a coated silk dome with a neodymium magnet and mechanical features for safer connection and professional installation. A compact separate crossover and FlexMount20 compatibility for the tweeter round off the package.
Key Features
