Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I choose the right amplifier for my speakers or subwoofer?
A: Match the amplifier's RMS output per channel to the RMS handling of your speakers or subwoofer at the same impedance. The Specification tab lists the power figures. If in doubt, contact CEN with your setup and we will recommend a match.
Q: What wiring do I need to install this amplifier?
A: You will need an amplifier wiring kit sized to the amplifier's power draw, typically including power and earth cable, a fuse, RCA leads and a remote wire. CEN stocks complete wiring kits, and the amplifier's fuse rating is the guide to the cable gauge required.
Q: What class of amplifier is this and does it matter?
A: Class D amplifiers are compact and efficient, ideal for subwoofers and modern installs. Class AB designs are traditionally favoured for outright sound quality on mid and high frequencies. The class is listed in the Specification tab where provided.
Q: Will an amplifier work with my factory head unit?
A: Yes, in most cases. If your head unit has no RCA outputs you will need a line output converter to feed the amplifier a clean signal. CEN stocks line output converters and can advise the right one for your vehicle.
Q: Can CEN install this amplifier?
A: Yes. CEN offers professional amplifier installation from our Nottingham premises, including secure mounting, wiring and setup. Contact us to book.
Q: How powerful is the Helix Next V Eight DSP Ultimate?
A: It has 8 amplifier channels delivering 110W RMS per channel into 4 ohms, and up to 270W RMS per channel into 2 ohms.
Q: Can the Helix Next V Eight DSP Ultimate connect to a factory head unit?
A: Yes. It has a 12-channel high-level input with up to 32 V RMS input sensitivity and the ADEP.3 circuit for OEM integration, and every high-level input can be routed individually to an amplifier or line output (1:1 IOR). There is also an optical SPDIF input.
Q: Can I add Bluetooth streaming to the Next V Eight DSP Ultimate?
A: Yes. The Extension Card 2.0 slot accepts add-ons such as Bluetooth HD audio streaming or extra analogue inputs, and the USB-C PerfectStream input supports lossless high-resolution streaming up to 192 kHz / 32 Bit.
