Subwoofer Helix IQ W8 DVC2
Before first use, you must install the supplied screw with the wedge lock washer into the dust cap, as described in the "Tuneable Mass System Installation Manual". This step is necessary even if you do not plan to use the additional tuning weights.
HELIX IQ W8-DVC2 – a premium subwoofer with maximum flexibility
The HELIX IQ W8-DVC2 sets a new standard among high-performance subwoofers for discerning listeners. It was designed to combine exceptional power with premium sound quality and to allow precise acoustic tuning via the patented Tuneable Mass System (TMS). As a result, it excels both in compact sealed enclosures and in high-power bass-reflex designs.
Power and sound without compromise
The subwoofer is optimized for 300–750 W RMS and pairs ideally with powerful amplifiers. It features a three-layer honeycomb cone made of fiberglass and Mylar, providing extreme stiffness and effective damping. This yields minimal distortion, fast transient response, and precise bass reproduction—even at extreme volume levels. An advanced cooling system with a large vented pole piece and a flow-optimized basket design ensures constant airflow, prevents overheating, and allows the subwoofer to deliver stable performance during prolonged high-load operation.
Tuneable Mass System – tailored tuning
The patented TMS allows fine adjustment of the moving mass of the driver by adding or removing weights in the dust cap. This enables precise tailoring of the bass character for the specific application:
- without additional mass – higher efficiency and quicker response, ideal for high-power systems,
- with additional mass – deeper, more substantial bass, perfect for sealed or low-tuned bass-reflex enclosures.
This unique flexibility lets you adapt the sound and enclosure volume to the listener’s preferences and the specific vehicle.
Flexible wiring and compatibility
With a dual voice coil of 2 × 2 Ohm, the subwoofer can be wired in multiple configurations—from 1 Ohm up to 4 Ohm. This makes it suitable for monoblock amplifiers as well as multi-subwoofer setups and varied system requirements. The HELIX IQ W8-DVC2 is well suited to sealed enclosures for tight, precise bass, as well as to bass-reflex cabinets where it can produce extremely deep frequencies with enormous power.
Robust and refined construction
The pressure-cast aluminum basket provides maximum rigidity and eliminates unwanted resonances. An integrated protective grille safeguards the cone and simplifies installation in confined spaces. Thanks to its durable construction and intelligent design, the subwoofer remains reliably long-lasting and can deliver clean, dynamic bass performance for many years.
