Helix U 10A
Where boot space is limited but the system needs more low-end, the U 10A fits under a seat and delivers proper bass without compromise. It connects to factory head units via the 2-channel high-level input with auto turn-on, or to aftermarket sources via the 2-channel RCA input.
- Integrated Class AB amplifier — 180 W RMS for punchy, controlled bass
- Low-resonance die-cast aluminium housing for precise bass reproduction and efficient heat dissipation
- Heavy-duty 10" / 250 mm driver with rigid aluminium cone and heat-resistant voice coil
- 2-channel high-level input with auto turn-on and 2-channel low-level RCA input
- Continuously adjustable steep-slope low-pass filter (50–150 Hz, 24 dB/oct)
- Sensitive phase adjustment for accurate integration with existing speakers
- Cable remote control for bass level adjustment included
- Flat housing design — suited to under-seat installation where space is at a premium
The adjustable high-slope low-pass filter and sensitive phase control let you match the U 10A precisely to the acoustics of your vehicle interior. If you need a DSP to fully tune the system, Helix offer options such as the Helix DSP Mini MK2 and the Helix DSP.3S for more advanced signal processing.

About the Helix U331010
From our tech experts at CEN
A 10 inch subwoofer supplied in its own compact enclosure.
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: 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: Does the HELIX U 10A need a separate amplifier?
A: No. The U 10A has a built-in Class AB amplifier rated at 180 W RMS (360 W max), so no external amplifier is needed.
Q: Will the U 10A fit under a car seat?
A: It is designed for space-saving underseat mounting. The housing measures 78 x 245 x 345 mm (H x W x D), so check the space under your seat against these dimensions. CEN can check fitment and install it at our Nottingham premises.
Q: Can the U 10A connect to a factory head unit?
A: Yes. It has a 2-channel high-level speaker input with automatic turn-on, as well as a 2-channel RCA low-level input for aftermarket head units.
