Highest sound quality

The S-series delivers rich bass, accurate mids and crystal-clear highs. Sophisticated design and up-to-date technologies give the S 42C.2 excellent sound characteristics across the frequency range.

Features

  • 4" / 100 mm woofer with basalt-fibre-paper compound cone — low weight, high stiffness and effective inner damping
  • 1" / 25 mm silk dome tweeter in an aluminium housing for balanced, natural sound reproduction and low compression
  • Individual Helix basket with additional ventilation holes for better voice coil cooling and high power handling
  • Flex-Crossover with 12/12 dB slope, bandstop filter and three-stage tweeter level adjustment — separable for installations where the tweeter and woofer are mounted in separate locations
  • Crossover components include low-distortion air-core coils and minimum-loss Audiotec-foil capacitors

Classy design

The S 42C.2 pairs its sound performance with a clean, timeless look. The transparent Flex-Crossover with its high-grade components and the aluminium tweeter housing both contribute to the premium finish.

Easy integration

Low installation depths, a removable tweeter housing and the compact Flex-Crossover give more freedom during fitting — even in tight spaces. Plug & Play connections between components keep cabling straightforward.

Maximum flexibility — Flex-Crossover

The Flex-Crossover can be installed without its housing using the supplied foam, reducing its footprint significantly. It also splits into two parts for separate installation — for example, tweeter in the A-pillar and woofer in the door. Alongside the 3-stage tweeter level adjustment and Plug & Play connections, screw terminals are included for use with your own speaker cables.

    About the Helix S722421

    From our tech experts at CEN

    4 inch component speakers, with separate tweeters that can be mounted higher where you will actually hear them, rated at 70w RMS.

    Who it suits

    Drivers building a proper front stage. Helix is a brand people choose when they care about staging and detail rather than volume, and these reward an amplifier and a processor.

    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 and tweeter placement change the result as much as the speaker does. Installation and tuning are priced per vehicle, so get in touch with your make, model and year and we will confirm what it needs. See car audio installation.

    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: How deep are the HELIX S 42C.2 woofers?

    A: The 4 inch woofer needs 46.5 mm installation depth and a 92.3 mm installation diameter. The tweeter needs 14 mm depth and a 45 mm installation diameter.

    Q: Can the S 42C.2 crossover be fitted in a tight space?

    A: Yes. The Flex-Crossover circuit board can be installed without its housing in the supplied foam, and it can be split into two parts for separate tweeter and woofer locations. It has Plug and Play connections and screw terminals.

    Q: What is in the box with the S 42C.2?

    A: The box contains 2 x HELIX S 1T tweeters with mounting material, 2 x HELIX S 4B woofers, 2 x Flex-Crossovers, 4 x foam sheets, mounting material, an instruction manual and a mounting pattern.
