Gladen BETA 165-X
The BETA 165-X is a 2-way coaxial speaker focused on balanced tuning and controlled acoustic performance for everyday use. Within the Gladen range it sits between the Alpha and Gamma models, offering a meaningful step up from OEM speakers whilst remaining straightforward to install.
The 165 mm mid-woofer uses a paper cone, chosen for its excellent damping properties. This delivers clean, low-distortion midrange reproduction, with the driver and surround combination producing well-defined fundamental tone and bass response.
The 20 mm tweeter is coaxially mounted at the centre of the mid-woofer, ensuring uniform dispersion and a compact point-source sound. Tuned internal filtering handles the crossover between frequency ranges cleanly, producing stable spatial imaging in typical in-vehicle installations.
At 3 ohms with high efficiency, the BETA 165-X runs comfortably from factory head units and compact amplifiers without additional components or complex modifications.

Our tech experts advise
Sizes, adapter rings and harnesses vary by vehicle, year and trim, so we confirm what your car takes before ordering rather than guessing. Door treatment matters as much as the speaker, and these repay both amplification and tuning. Installation is priced per vehicle, so get in touch with your make, model and year and we will confirm what it needs. See car audio installation.
