For the spare wheel well, the compact 16.5 cm Helix subwoofers in flat design are particularly well suited. These special models are built to save space and, despite their small dimensions, deliver powerful bass – ideal for vehicles with limited space.

Yes, Helix offers special Match solutions for original VW systems. These subwoofers are perfectly matched to the existing wiring and the Helix system, allowing for an easy upgrade without extensive modifications.

The original vehicle wiring is typically designed for power levels of up to about 50-75 watts RMS. For higher power levels, we recommend installing a separate amplifier with an appropriate power supply to take full advantage of your Helix subwoofer's performance.

For subtle bass, 100-200 watts RMS is already enough, while powerful sound starts at 300 watts RMS. Helix subwoofers offer power ranges from 1-500 watts up to over 1,000 watts RMS – the right choice depends on your personal sound preferences and the size of your vehicle.

Active subwoofers from Helix have a built-in amplifier and work as a plug-and-play solution. Passive subwoofers require an external amplifier, but offer more flexibility for fine-tuning and are ideal if you already have a high-quality amplifier.

The impedance needs to match your amplifier to ensure optimal sound quality and power handling. Helix subwoofers are available in various impedances – typically 2 or 4 ohms – and should be chosen according to your amplifier's specifications.
