About the Helix K331014
From our tech experts at CEN
A subwoofer supplied in its own compact enclosure, with dual voice coils for flexible wiring.
Who it suits
Drivers who want real bass without losing the boot or commissioning a custom build. Compact enclosures suit cars, vans and campers where space is the binding constraint.
Our tech experts advise
Even a matched enclosure needs the amplifier set correctly and the crossover point chosen against your front speakers, otherwise it draws attention to itself instead of filling in underneath. Installation and tuning are priced per vehicle, so get in touch with your make, model and year and we will confirm what it needs. See car audio installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need an amplifier for this subwoofer?
A: Yes, unless it is an active (powered) subwoofer with a built-in amplifier. Passive subwoofers need an external amplifier matched to the RMS power and impedance shown in the Specification tab.
Q: What does RMS power mean?
A: RMS is the continuous power a subwoofer can handle, and it is the number that matters when matching an amplifier. Peak or max figures describe short bursts only. Match your amplifier output to the RMS rating in the Specification tab.
Q: Which vans does the HELIX IK EC10.1-DVC2 fit?
A: It is designed for the passenger-side seat console of the Volkswagen T6.1, T6 and T5 without swivel seat.
Q: What impedance can the IK EC10.1-DVC2 be wired to?
A: The voice coil impedance is configurable at the connection terminal as 2 x 2 ohms, 1 x 4 ohm or 1 x 1 ohm, so it can be matched to a wide range of amplifiers.
Q: What amplifier power does it need?
A: HELIX recommends 150 to 300 W RMS. The subwoofer is rated at 300 W RMS power handling.
