About the Helix PR21620
From our tech experts at CEN
The Helix PR W165 is a pair of 6.5 inch (165 mm) woofers from the Pure R-Series, rated at 100 W RMS and 200 W maximum at 4 ohms. They have mica-paper composite cones and die-cast aluminium baskets, cover 40 Hz to 4 kHz, and come with grilles.
Who it suits
Drivers building a Pure R front stage, or replacing woofers from the PR K165.2 set, which uses this driver. Pair them with the PR T25-S tweeters for a matching active or component setup.
Our tech experts advise
They need a 141 mm cut-out and 66.5 mm of depth, so check door clearance before ordering. There is no crossover in the box, so use a DSP channel or a suitable crossover. Door deadening makes a clear difference to midbass. Get in touch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these speakers fit my car?
A: Most car speakers are standard sizes, but mounting depth and fitting rings vary by vehicle. Check the size in the Specification tab against your vehicle, or contact CEN with your registration and we will confirm fitment and any adapters or fitting kits you need.
Q: Do I need an amplifier to run these speakers?
A: Not always. Most speakers will run from a standard head unit, but a dedicated amplifier lets them perform at their best, particularly for component sets and higher power handling models. The RMS figure in the Specification tab is the guide to how much clean power they can use.
Q: What is the difference between coaxial and component speakers?
A: Coaxial speakers combine the tweeter and woofer in one unit for a simple like-for-like upgrade. Component sets separate the tweeter and woofer with a crossover for better imaging and detail, and suit installs where sound quality is the priority.
Q: Do these come as a pair?
A: Unless stated otherwise, car speakers are sold in pairs. Check the product title and What's Included tab, which lists exactly what is in the box.
Q: Can CEN fit these speakers for me?
A: Yes. CEN offers professional installation from our Nottingham premises. Contact us to book an installation slot or ask for a fitting quote.
Q: Does the HELIX PR W165 need a crossover?
A: Yes. Its frequency response is 40 Hz to 4,000 Hz, so it should be run with a low-pass filter from a passive crossover or DSP, alongside a separate tweeter.
Q: How deep is the PR W165?
A: The installation depth is 66.5 mm, with a 141 mm installation diameter and 166 mm outer diameter.
Q: Are grilles included with the PR W165?
A: Yes. The box contains 2 x PR W165 woofers, 2 x grilles and mounting material.
