HELIX Ci3 K100.2FM-S3

HELIX COMPOSE. The perfect loudspeaker for every composition.

Born from the ever-increasing demands of modern vehicle technology and HELIX's signature pursuit of intelligent solutions, we made the advanced redesign of proven universal loudspeaker systems our mission. The result: the innovative HELIX COMPOSE platform, which, following the principle "designed in the car, for the car," combines classic universal loudspeakers with the advantages of vehicle-specific systems.

Innovative materials and cutting-edge 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 loudspeaker reimagined.

Performance Highlight

The i3 Speaker Kits offer everything you could want from a 2-way system: a first-class sound experience that, thanks to high-quality materials and exceptionally smart engineering, is very easy and convenient to install in your car. All components are ideally matched and, together with our HELIX and MATCH amplifiers, form the perfect team, guaranteeing maximum performance and power output at all times. Furthermore, our new mechanical technologies, with a clear focus on safety during connection and operation, have been implemented, creating ideal conditions for integration into the vehicle with maximum compatibility.

Maximum Efficiency

HELIX COMPOSE stands for smart engineering and is therefore based on highly efficient 3-ohm technology, which harmonizes perfectly with all HELIX and MATCH amplifiers and simultaneously enables a noticeably improved efficiency and maximum sound pressure level.

Individual models will also be available as an optional 2-ohm version, which, in conjunction with suitable amplifiers, will extract the absolute maximum performance and power from the respective speaker component.

Cenosphere Paper Cone

With the innovative "Cenosphere" coating, micro hollow spheres are embedded in a polymer layer and applied to the diaphragm. This process increases rigidity and also optimizes its internal damping. The result is an exceptionally stable yet lightweight diaphragm that offers outstanding precision in sound reproduction.

High-Tech Polymer Composite Basket

All HELIX COMPOSE i7 and i3 speaker baskets are made of a high-tech polymer composite material, which has been additionally reinforced with glass spheres. The result: maximum stability with minimal resonances, while also eliminating flux modulation of the magnet system and providing maximum resistance to thermal influences. Finally, this allows for significantly more compact basket dimensions and thus simplified installations in confined spaces.

Impressive highs and outstanding stability

The 20 mm tweeter features an innovative titanium dome, characterized by impressive stability combined with low moving mass and enormous thermal capacity. This results in brilliant, compression-free high-frequency reproduction with excellent detail resolution.

Perfectly separated

The crossover is designed for optimal use with our HELIX Compose i3 components, and thus for the professional, vehicle-integrated design typical of COMPOSE. It offers a 6-step high-frequency level adjustment with a 12 dB slope for optimal adaptation to the installation position, as well as integrated tweeter protection.

Furthermore, no effort was spared in the complex tuning of the crossover to achieve the best possible frequency band separation and a harmonious sound.

Thanks to its compact dimensions, the Ci3 FX-UNI.2 is perfect for installation in space-saving installations and is compatible with our COMPOSE Connect and WireKit technologies for maximum operational reliability and minimization of installation errors.

COMPOSE Connect

Goodbye tinkering and soldering. Compose Connect is the ingenious connector system that significantly simplifies car audio installation in conjunction with HELIX COMPOSE components. Thanks to proprietary plastic housings into which standard flat plugs and sockets snap, a reverse polarity-protected and absolutely reliable connection according to automotive standards is ensured.

FlexMount20 & FlexMount100 – Universal meets vehicle-specific

FlexMount is a mounting system based on specially developed adapter rings that allows the installation of COMPOSE FlexMount speakers in a virtually unlimited number of vehicles. This transforms the universal speaker into a vehicle-specific speaker in no time, which can be easily and acoustically optimized for installation in the original mounting position of any vehicle using the appropriate FlexMount ring. Find the right FlexMount for your vehicle now! WireKits – Plug & Play at the highest level. Our WireKits make connecting the HELIX COMPOSE speaker system to the original wiring harness effortless. Manufactured to the high standards of the automotive industry, these lockable adapter cables meet all the requirements for the harsh environmental conditions in vehicles.
