HELIX IK E10.1-DVC2 MK2

Powerful bass, compact format – the performance subwoofer for everyday use 

The HELIX IK E10.1 MK2 delivers deep, punchy bass in a space-saving design – ideal for those who want rich low-frequency performance without the bulk of a conventional subwoofer enclosure. New in the MK2 version: The IK E10.1-DVC2 is now ISM-ready and can be easily upgraded to an active subwoofer solution via a replaceable connection terminal, if required.

Smart downfire design  

The intelligent downfire construction ensures optimal bass dispersion in the vehicle. It uses the vehicle floor as an acoustic reflection surface to intensify low-frequency output, offers optimum protection for the speaker, and allows for a lower-profile design. Combined with bass-reflex technology and a powerful 250 mm chassis, it provides a dynamic bass experience with impressive sound pressure while making efficient use of available space.

High-grade components for sonic strength

The IK E10.1-DVC2 MK2 features the 250 mm IK W10-DVC2 chassis. Its extremely stiff cone made of hand-scooped paper fibers combined with the heavy-duty driver system converts amplifier power easily and without compression effects into loads of sound pressure – while also scores sonically with subtle beats.

Smart terminal concept

The new connection terminal features a plug-in design and offers two connection options: a screw terminal for conventional speaker cables as well as a standardized MOLEX connector for custom wiring harnesses. This combines the best of two worlds: maximum flexibility for classic HELIX-style installations, plus a plug & play logic familiar from the MATCH ecosystem. It greatly simplifies installation and enables quick, safe removal and reinstallation when extra space is needed. The detachable plug also reliably protects against short circuits, as no bare cable ends remain inside the vehicle.

Flexible connectivity

Thanks to its dual voice coil design, the IK E10.1-DVC2 MK2 offers a high degree of flexibility when choosing the right amplifier setup. Depending on the application, the voice coils can be configured as 1 x 1 Ω (ideal for HELIX and MATCH monoblocks), 1 x 4 Ω (e.g. for bridged channels on powerful multi-channel amplifiers such as the HELIX AMPLIFY series) or 2 x 2 Ω (for parallel operation with multichannel-multitools, for example from the HELIX NEXT and MATCH UPGRADE lines) – making virtually any low-bass configuration easy to realize.

ISM-ready – optional active subwoofer upgrade

In the MK2 version, the IK E10.1-DVC2 is now ISM-ready: By replacing the passive terminal with the optional IMPACT Subwoofer Module (e.g. ISM 400.2DSP), the enclosure subwoofer can be upgraded to an active subwoofer in no time. As a direct-fit solution, the ISM 400.2DSP is a powerful amplified subwoofer module with integrated signal processor – developed for high-quality subwoofer upgrades in modern vehicles with factory-installed sound systems. This results in a compact all-in-one solution combining amplification and DSP signal processing for powerful yet controlled bass – without having to rebuild the existing system.

Rugged, practical, and easy to install

The enclosure is covered with a sturdy carpet featuring the embroidered HELIX logo, making it not only visually appealing but also robust enough for everyday use. The feet, equipped with Velcro tape, provide a secure and stable stand within the vehicle.
