The Helix IK S10-DVC2 is a shallow-mount 10 inch (250 mm) subwoofer from the Helix IK S series, rated at 300W RMS (600W max) with a 2 x 2 ohm dual voice coil and an installation depth of just 84.5 mm. Designed for flat, compact enclosures, it includes a connection terminal, protective grille and gasket.

This listing is the bare driver. The Helix IK S series is also available as the IK E8.1-DVC2 8 inch compact downfire enclosure.

Key specifications

  • Sensitivity: 90 dB @ 2.83V / 1m, 87 dB @ 1W / 1m
  • Installation depth: 84.5 mm
  • Installation diameter: 229 mm
  • Sealed box: 14 L net
  • Vented box: 16 L net, tuned to 37 Hz

Flat dimensions – deep bass

The extremely low 84.5 mm installation depth opens up enclosure options that would not be possible with a conventional subwoofer, without making acoustic compromises. Large voice coils and a low resonant frequency ensure strong, deep bass performance from the compact IK S platform.

Smart down to the very last detail

A stiff sandwich paper cone and heavy-duty drive system convert amplifier power into high sound pressure with no compression effects, while retaining control on subtler material. The magnet system features a threaded hole on the rear, allowing the woofer to be bolted directly to the enclosure back panel — reducing enclosure vibrations even when walls are thin.

Flexible connection

Available as a 1 x 2 ohm (SVC2) or 2 x 2 ohm (DVC2) variant, the IK S series can be matched to a wide range of amplifier configurations for maximum output. Pairing with a Helix DSP Mini MK2 allows precise tuning to your chosen enclosure alignment.

"All inclusive" for self-build installations

The IK S10-DVC2 includes a gold-plated screw terminal, solid protective grille and gasket. Helix's technical data sheet provides sealed and vented enclosure recommendations including net volume, port tuning frequency and DSP settings.

About the Helix K331004

From our tech experts at CEN

The Helix IK S10-DVC2 is a bare 10 inch shallow-mount subwoofer driver, supplied without an enclosure. It handles 300 W RMS and 600 W maximum, has dual 2 ohm voice coils, and needs only 84.5 mm of installation depth, with a grille, gasket and connection terminal in the box.

Who it suits

Builders who want a 10 inch sub in a flat or hidden box, such as under a boot floor or behind a seat, where a conventional driver is too deep. If the space only takes an 8 inch, the IK S8-DVC2 has the same power rating at 79.5 mm deep.

Our tech experts advise

Helix suggests 14 litres net for a sealed box, or 16 litres net tuned to 37 Hz if vented, with a 229 mm cut-out. The dual coils wire to 1 or 4 ohms, so match the wiring to your amplifier. We build enclosures to suit the car; get in touch with your vehicle details.
