Gladen Alpha 130 C car speakers

Alpha represents the basic model range of Gladen loudspeakers, which shares several technologies from the higher M-Line series. The excellent engineering of the Gladen Alpha speakers guarantees a significant improvement in sound compared to the dull factory speaker system. The second generation of this series builds on the previous success and brings several improvements. It is worth noting the stronger and more stable steel basket with improved waterproof treatment, the innovative membrane or the twisted copper cabling to the tweeters. Above-standard sensitivity, together with a reduced impedance to 3 Ohms, will allow convenient connection to factory and aftermarket car radios without the need to install an external amplifier. In their price category, the speakers stand out thanks to their sound, which is helped by the fiberglass mid-bass diaphragm and the silky tweeters of the component and coaxial system. Honest processing and simple installation thanks to compact frequency crossovers only enhances the experience of these speakers.

Main features of Gladen Alpha 130 C speakers

  • 2-way coaxial speakers of the Alpha series.
  • High sensitivity and reduced impedance of 3 ohms.
  • Vibrating membrane of blue color made of glass fiber.
  • Integrated tweeter with a diameter of 13 mm with a silk dome.
  • Centering membrane - bellows made of meta-aramid fiber with strong resistance (Nomex).
  • Solid steel basket with waterproof treatment.
  • Rubber hinge for long-term durability.

Speaker typeCoaxial speakers:
Coaxial speakers are characterized by a so-called all-in-one design. The tweeter and mid-bass speaker are in one basket. The advantage is simpler assembly, but thanks to the connection or proximity of the bands in one speaker, the sound quality will usually be reduced. As a rule, in the middle of the mid-bass speaker, there is a tweeter whose voice coil works in the second air gap of the common magnetic circuit. The three-way coaxial speaker consists of a mid-bass speaker, a center speaker and a separate tweeter in the front on a special beam.

Component Speakers:
Component speakers are characterized by a division into individual frequency bands, treble + mid-bass + or. bass band. The individual speakers can be placed completely separately, which results in a better sound and acoustic performance. In the vast majority of cases of component speakers, an external crossover is also supplied, which divides the treble, middle / mid-bass, and into the three-band the bass band or allows setting the decibel level of the tweeter (e.g. +2 dB, 0 dB, -2 dB), steepness (e.g. 6dB/Oct. 12dB/Oct.) or active or bi-amp connection.
Coaxial 2-band
RMS powerRMS speaker power is the constant power of the entire system, not just one speaker or one side. This is also the performance of continuous use of the speakers. If the RMS power is exceeded for a long time, the speakers may be irreversibly damaged! 65 W
Max. (maximum performancePeak performance , which the speaker can play for a moment (approx. 0.5 s), for example when hitting drums in a song. If the max power is exceeded, the speakers will usually be damaged! 95 W
ImpedanceImpedance - measurement of electrical resistance. When buying speakers, it is important to make sure that the impedance matches the amplifier or car stereo you are using.

Example:
A 2 Ohm speaker cannot be connected to an amplifier that is only stable up to 4 Ohms! A 4 Ohm speaker can easily be used with an amplifier that is stable up to 2 Ohms. The most common speaker impedance today is 3 - 4 Ohm.
3 Ω
The diameter of the mid-bass speakerWe state the diameter of the speaker as the diameter of the entire speaker, not including the mounts, when smaller speakers (87, 100, 130 mm) have extra mounts. Some speakers are oval and there the dimension is given in inches, always the shortest side to the longest side. One inch is approx. 2.5 cm. 130 mm
Installation depth of the mid-bass speakerThe installation depth of the speaker is measured from the bottom edge of the magnet to the bottom edge of the tin, plastic or cast speaker basket, or speaker bearing surfaces. 54 mm
Mid-woofer diaphragm materialThe material that was used for the speaker diaphragm. Don't be afraid of the paper, it surprisingly has a very natural and high-quality sound and, thanks to the surface treatment, it can withstand moisture without any problems. Glass fiber
Center speaker diaphragm materialDiaphragm material that was used in the manufacture of the center speakers. Silk
Tweeter dome diameterThe net diameter of the dome (diaphragm) of the tweeter. 13 mm
Frequency crossover included in the packageThe crossover is an important part of defacto all loudspeakers. A crossover usually contains different resistor values, coil sizes, and capacitor types that fundamentally modify the sound. We describe below what the turnouts are for.

Component Speakers:
A crossover is part of every quality component speaker system. Its task is to ensure the distribution of frequencies that the amplifier produces in the entire acoustic spectrum of frequencies so that each of the speakers receives only that part of the band that it can optimally play in terms of efficiency and minimal distortion.

Coaxial speakers:
In most cases, coaxial loudspeakers have a simple crossover (6dB/Oct.) formed by a capacitor at the tweeter.
Yes (capacitor)
Cover grids included in the packageOriginal cover grilles in speaker packaging. No
Price forIf the price is for a pair, the package always includes 2 pieces of everything, e.g. 2x mid-bass, 2x tweeter and 2x crossover. Few
