Hi Guys,

I am planning to change my Suzuki Swift stock HU and component speakers to :

1. Pioneer P3450
2. Helix E62C or B62 / German Maestro CS-6508IV. ( Price?)
3. Sound Proof my 2 front door.( How many layers? )

Any guru to advise?

It would be good if you are able to indicate the shop name and price of the Helix component speaker through PM.

Can't really get much info from Google for Helix E62C and B62C component speakers from owners.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

I would prefer the German Maestro over the Helix, should cost you under $400 with installation.

Soundproof just go for 2 layers each door, should cost $200-300, depending on the material used.

personally have tried helix b62c (400 w install & localised sp), 4-layer sp (200/dr) & mosconi amp (700 w/install) - i felt it worked very nicely.

 

previously w just spkr (w/o sp & amp), better than stock but noisy at higher volume (due to sound reflect / refract everywhere within metal door panel).

 

add sp, some missing bass could be heard while listening to same tracks.

 

add amp, improved sound stage, clarity & concentration; don't have to turn on so loud, as soft and loud notes gap difference not so far.

 

not to mention my pioneer hu is entry-mid level type only; imagine u have higher end ones...

If want Amp, I don't think Helix is good choice. Would prefer other speakers with strong clarity.

Helix has good bass and generally nice sound, but a bit over-bearing feel when in-car.

wat mean by over-bearing? too "bright" sound? i found it good for vocal n piano / drum music though.

It just sounds like a loud high-fi system. You can't feel the refinement of sound, such as pluck of guitar, or the crystal clear cymbal.

so either it too powerful or 刺耳, wc was like before my sp & amp. probably ur 5.25" no enuf mid-low? probably spkr rms at 50-75w but hu itself only 22w rms? my current amp is 120w rms.

 

but helix spkr really can blast w/o distortion, ever tried going to vol. 50 out of 62 in my hu wif all 4 doors opened at my workplace carpark, vocal seebay clear!
