Frequently Asked Questions about RS 165 G2


What are the technical highlights of the RS 165 G2 Speaker Set from Gladen?

The RS 165 G2 from Gladen is a high-performance 6.5" Speaker Set equipped with a 165 mm woofer and a 25 mm tweeter. It features a fabric membrane and a steel basket. The 25 mm voice coil is made of aluminum and, together with the Nomex centering spider, ensures precise sound results. The speaker offers an impedance of 3 Ohms, making it ideal for high-power amplifier applications. A rubber magnet cover protects the speaker from mechanical damage. The removable plastic housing allows for flexible installation in various vehicles.

What crossover is used in the RS 165 G2?

The Gladen RS 165 G2 Speaker Set includes a passive Crossover, which is not included in the active version. This crossover is designed to optimally divide the different frequency ranges between the woofer and tweeter. The high quality of the crossover ensures precise frequency separation, resulting in a clear and detailed sound image. This is particularly important to avoid distortions and interferences between the different types of speakers. Note that the crossover is specifically tuned to the nominal impedance of 3 Ohms.

How can the RS 165 G2 Speaker Set be installed in a car?

The installation of the Gladen RS 165 G2 Speaker Set in a car is thoughtfully designed. The 165 mm woofer and the 25 mm tweeter fit into most common installation spaces. The plastic housing of the tweeter is removable, making it easier to fit into original installation spots. For optimal sound adjustment, the optionally available Gladen PODs can be used to align the tweeters. The use of gold-plated screw terminals ensures a secure and loss-free connection to the vehicle wiring, resulting in improved sound quality.

What materials are used for the woofer and tweeter in the RS 165 G2?

The RS 165 G2 Speaker Set from Gladen uses a fabric diaphragm for its 165 mm woofers, providing excellent acoustic properties and high stability. The Nomex centering spider ensures stable and precise reproduction, while the rubber surround is responsible for a long lifespan. The 25 mm tweeter dome uses a silk fabric diaphragm, known for its smooth and clear high-frequency reproduction. The Kapton voice coil carrier of the tweeter supports high thermal resistance, ensuring consistent sound reproduction.

Are there special customization options for the RS 165 G2 speakers?

Yes, the RS 165 G2 Speakers from Gladen offer several customization options. The 25 mm tweeter domes come with a detachable plastic housing to allow optimal integration across the full sound range. With the optional Gladen PODs, the tweeters can be precisely aligned to customize the soundstage. This is particularly useful if you want to configure specific audio playback for your vehicle. Additionally, there are 9 adjustment options that help you optimally adapt the Crossover to the audio requirements to achieve the best possible sound.

What impedances are relevant for the RS 165 G2 Speaker Set?

The RS 165 G2 Speaker Set from Gladen features a mixed impedance structure. The woofer and the tweeters operate with an impedance of 3 Ohms, making them an ideal choice for high-power amplifier applications. This impedance allows for higher power output from the amplifier, resulting in powerful and dynamic sound. Additionally, the tweeter offers a 4 Ohm impedance due to its specific silk fabric diaphragm, ensuring detailed reproduction of the upper frequency ranges and contributing to overall sound quality.

How does the Nomex centering spider affect the sound in the RS 165 G2?

The Nomex centering spider plays a crucial role in the Gladen RS 165 G2 Speaker Set by stabilizing the movements of the diaphragm. Nomex, known for its high heat resistance and strength, ensures precise vibration control and reduces distortions that could arise from uncontrolled diaphragm movements. This results in high fidelity and clarity in the sound. Especially with complex musical pieces, the Nomex centering spider can help ensure that even the finest details are reproduced clearly and precisely.

What is the purpose of the rubber magnet cover on the RS 165 G2?

The rubber magnet cover on the RS 165 G2 from Gladen primarily serves a protective function. It encases the magnet of the woofer to protect it from physical damage and dust accumulation. This protection extends the lifespan of the speaker and maintains its performance over a longer period. It also prevents electromagnetic interference that could affect sound quality. In high-stress situations, the rubber magnet cover prevents the magnet from slipping or deforming, which is crucial for consistent sound production.

What installation advantages does the removable plastic housing of the tweeters offer?

The removable plastic housing of the tweeters in the Gladen RS 165 G2 Speaker Set offers flexibility in installation. It allows for installation in a variety of mounting locations and ensures that the tweeters can be perfectly integrated into the designated spots in the vehicle. This is particularly useful for optimizing the sound for the vehicle's interior. The ability to disassemble also facilitates maintenance and adjustments when you want to change the sound in the vehicle by fine-tuning the orientation of the tweeters.

How does the silk fabric diaphragm of the tweeter influence sound quality?

The use of the silk fabric diaphragm in the tweeter of the Gladen RS 165 G2 ensures smooth and detailed high-frequency reproduction. Silk fabric is known for its ability to reproduce particularly fine and sensitive sound nuances, benefiting the audiophile sound characteristic. It gives the sound a natural warmth and prevents harsh overemphasis that can often occur with other materials. The combination of the 25 mm tweeter dome and the silk diaphragm provides a balanced sound profile, ideal for various music genres, from classical to modern pop pieces.
