HELIX IQ W10-DVC2

HELIX IQ W10-DVC2

Audiophile sound quality with maximum customizability
The HELIX IQ W10-DVC2 sets new standards in the field of high-performance subwoofers. Designed for discerning music lovers who appreciate both powerful levels and precise sound quality, this subwoofer offers an outstanding combination of innovative technology, robust construction and unique flexibility. Thanks to its specially developed Tuneable Mass System (TMS), it allows individual adjustment of the bass response so that it can develop its full potential in any application - whether in compact closed cabinets or powerful bass reflex cabinets.

Maximum performance for the deepest bass
With a recommended power range of 300 to 750 watts RMS, the HELIX IQ W10-DVC2 has a wide range of applications and is particularly optimized for powerful amplifier configurations. Its robust construction enables consistently precise reproduction, even at high levels over long periods of time. The 3-layer glass fibre mylar honeycomb cone combines maximum rigidity with optimum internal damping, minimizing distortion and achieving dynamic, controlled bass reproduction. The outstanding impulse fidelity ensures that even complex bass lines are reproduced clearly and precisely without losing definition.

A highly efficient cooling system with a large pole piece bore and flow-optimized basket design ensures continuous air circulation. This prevents overheating and thermal compression effects, allowing the subwoofer to deliver consistently high performance even under continuous load.

Tuneable Mass System (TMS) - mechanical fine-tuning for your sound
With the innovative Tuneable Mass System (TMS), the HELIX IQ W10-DVC2 offers a completely new option for individual sound tuning. The moving mass of the subwoofer can be varied by adding or removing additional weights within the dustcap. This adjustment changes the Thiele-Small parameters and thus directly influences the resonance frequency, the overall quality and the efficiency of the subwoofer.

Depending on the configuration selected, the sound image changes significantly. Without additional weight, the resonance frequency remains in the upper range, resulting in particularly fast impulse fidelity and high efficiency. This tuning is perfect for volume-optimized setups and precise bass reproduction with maximum level reserve. As the mass increases, the resonance frequency is reduced, allowing the subwoofer to reproduce lower frequencies with greater emphasis. This is particularly advantageous for closed enclosures or low-tuned bass reflex constructions, as it enables a particularly voluminous and powerful bass response to be achieved.

The ability to adjust the moving mass allows the subwoofer to be precisely tuned to the respective enclosure volume and the acoustic conditions of the vehicle. While a higher moving mass enables a lower cut-off frequency, the efficiency remains higher with a lower mass, allowing the subwoofer to be operated efficiently even with moderate amplifier power. This unique flexibility makes the HELIX IQ W10-DVC2 a perfect choice for those who expect the highest sound precision and maximum customization.

Versatile integration options
The HELIX IQ W10-DVC2 has been equipped with a 2 × 2 Ohm dual voice coil to ensure maximum adaptability to different amplifier systems. Depending on the cabling, the subwoofer can be operated with a total impedance of 1 ohm or 4 ohms in addition to the typical 2 x 2 ohm configuration, so that it can be perfectly adapted to powerful monoblock power amplifiers or complex multiple subwoofer setups. This offers a particularly high degree of flexibility when it comes to optimally integrating the subwoofer into an existing or newly planned sound system.

In addition to the electrical connection, the mechanical design has also been optimized for versatile installation options. The subwoofer is suitable for both closed and bass-reflex enclosures and is ideal for use in different types of vehicle. In closed enclosures, it impresses with controlled, precise bass reproduction with excellent impulse fidelity, while in bass reflex constructions it unfolds its full level potential and reproduces low frequencies with impressive emphasis.

Robust design for long-lasting performance
Powerful bass reproduction requires a stable construction. The HELIX IQ W10-DVC2 is equipped with a high-quality die-cast aluminum basket that prevents unwanted resonances and ensures vibration-free operation. This guarantees constant, precise reproduction even at maximum excursions.

The subwoofer is also equipped with a protective grille that is integrated directly into the basket. This stable mounting not only ensures optimum protection of the cone, but also allows the subwoofer to be seamlessly integrated into the vehicle design. This ensures a secure and stylish installation, which can be a decisive advantage for long-term reliable performance, especially in cramped installation conditions or in vehicles with challenging space requirements. Thanks to this stable construction, the HELIX IQ W10-DVC2 remains stable even under heavy use and delivers unadulterated sound quality for years to come.
