HELIX IQ W8-DVC2

ΠεριγραφήHELIX IQ W8-DVC2 Audiophile-Grade Subwoofer with Maximum VersatilityThe HELIX IQ W8-DVC2 sets new benchmarks in the realm of high-performance subwoofers. Designed for discerning music enthusiasts who appreciate both powerful output and superior sound quality, this subwoofer combines cutting-edge technology, a robust construction, and outstanding flexibility. Thanks to its proprietary Tuneable Mass System (TMS), it allows for precise customization of the bass response, enabling it to unfold its full potential in any application – whether in compact sealed enclosures or high-output bass reflex systems.Engineered for High Power and Deep Bass PerformanceWith the recommended power range of 300 to 750 Watts RMS, the HELIX IQ W8-DVC2 offers a wide range of applications and is particularly optimized for high-power amplifier configurations, ensuring consistently precise bass reproduction – even at extreme levels. Its 3-layer Fiberglass-Mylar honeycomb cone provides maximum rigidity and optimal internal damping, effectively minimizing distortion while ensuring tight, controlled, and dynamic low-frequency performance. Exceptional transient response ensures that even complex bass passages are reproduced clearly and with absolute precision.A highly efficient cooling system, featuring a large-diameter vented pole piece and an airflow-optimized basket design, enables continuous air circulation, preventing overheating and thermal compression. This ensures consistent performance, even under prolonged high-output operation, allowing the subwoofer to maintain full power and control at all times.Proprietary Tuneable Mass System (TMS) – Fine-Tuning for Your SoundThe Tuneable Mass System (TMS) introduces an innovative approach to bass adjustment, offering a unique way to customize the acoustic characteristics of the subwoofer. By adding or removing specific weights within the dustcap, the moving mass of the driver can be modified, directly influencing the subwoofer’s response and efficiency.Depending on the chosen configuration, the subwoofer’s sonic profile changes significantly. Without additional weight, the subwoofer maintains a higher resonant frequency, ensuring maximum efficiency and fast transient response – ideal for high-output setups and tight, punchy bass reproduction. Adding mass lowers the resonant frequency, allowing for deeper and more authoritative bass, making it particularly well-suited for sealed enclosures or low-tuned bass reflex systems.This fine-tuning capability enables precise adaptation to enclosure volume and in-car acoustics. A higher moving mass extends low-frequency performance, whereas a lower moving mass improves efficiency, making the subwoofer suitable for operation with moderate amplifier power. This unparalleled flexibility makes the HELIX IQ W8-DVC2 the ideal choice for those seeking ultimate sound precision and adaptability.Flexible Connection for Seamless System IntegrationEquipped with a 2 × 2 Ohms dual voice coil, the HELIX IQ W8-DVC2 offers maximum compatibility with various amplifier setups. Depending on the wiring configuration, it can be operated, aside from the typical 2 x 2 Ohms configuration, at either 1 Ohm or 4 Ohms, making it the perfect match for high-power monoblock amplifiers as well as multi-subwoofer configurations. This ensures seamless integration into both existing and newly designed sound systems.Beyond its electrical adaptability, the subwoofer is designed for versatile enclosure compatibility. In sealed enclosures, it delivers tight, controlled bass with outstanding transient response, while in bass reflex systems, it provides exceptional low-frequency extension and immense output capability. This adaptability makes the HELIX IQ W8-DVC2 the ideal choice for a wide range of system applications.Sophisticated and Robust Construction for Long-Lasting PerformanceDelivering powerful low-frequency performance requires an exceptionally rigid and durable construction. The HELIX IQ W8-DVC2 features a meticulously engineered diecast aluminum basket, ensuring maximum stability while eliminating unwanted resonance. This guarantees consistent and precise bass reproduction, even during extreme cone excursion.Additionally, the subwoofer is equipped with a protective grille that is directly integrated into the basket. This secure mounting not only provides optimal protection for the cone but also allows for seamless integration into the vehicle’s interior. This ensures a safe and stylish installation, which can be particularly advantageous in tight installation spaces or vehicles with limited mounting options, contributing to long-term reliable performance. Thanks to its sturdy construction, the HELIX IQ W8-DVC2 remains highly durable even under heavy loads, delivering pure and consistent sound quality for years to come.Features Audiophile grade subwoofer – ensures sublime sound quality with superior low frequency extension and accurate dynamics Engineered for high power – handles up to 750 Watts RMS for most demanding system designs Proprietary Tuneable Mass System (TMS) – adjustable cone weight allows fine-tuning of Thiele-Small-Parameters pre- and post-installations Powerful deep bass, unique dynamics – 3-layer Fiberglass-Mylar honeycomb cone for maximum precision and optimum inner damping Flexible connection – 2 x 2 Ohms dual voice coil for flexible system configuration Compact enclosure compatibility – high-performance subwoofer designed for space-saving installations Versatile in use – suitable for sealed and bass reflex enclosures for maximum flexibility in system design Sophisticated design – features a meticulous developed die-cast aluminum basket with an integrated grille for durabilityTechnical data– 1 TM 2 TM 3 TMPower handling RMS / max. P750 / 1,500 WattsRecommended amplifier powerRMSfrom 300 WattsImpedanceZ2 x 2 ΩDC resistance Re2 x 1.9 ΩResonance frequency Fs43 Hz37 Hz33 Hz30 HzMechanical Q factorQms5.30Electrical Q factor Qes0.490.560.680.76Total Q factor Qts0.450.510.600.67ComplianceCms123 μm/NEquivalent air volume Vas8.5 LForce factor B*I15.5 TmSensitivitySPL86 dB @ 2.83V / 1m 83 dB @ 1W / 1mCone area  Sd222 cm²Moving mass Mms115 g168 g221 g274 gCone material Fiberglass-Mylar honeycomb coneMechanical resistance Rms5.8 kg/sVoice coil diameterø63 mmVoice coil winding height 32 mmMax. linear excursionXmax /- 12 mmOuter diameterø226 mm / 8.90″Installation diameterø183 mm / 7.21″Installation depth 114.5 mm / 4.51″  Recommended enclosure volumesSealed box Net volume 6 L10 L25 L35 LLower limiting frequency (-3dB) 69 Hz53 Hz39 Hz32 Hz  Bassreflex-Gehäuse Net volume 13 L20 L33 L38 LPort diameterø60 mmPort area 28 cm²Port length 40 cm47 cm48 cm51 cmPort tuning frequencyFb38 Hz28 Hz22 Hz20 HzLower limiting frequency (-3dB) 35 Hz25 Hz19 Hz17 HzTM = Tuning MassScope of delivery1 x Subwoofer IQ W8-DVC2 1 x Installation gasket 2 x Mounting material 1 x Grille 2 x Grille removal tool 3 x Tuning mass (TM) 1 x Data sheetDownloads Datenblatt / Data sheet
