HELIX IK ER8.2-DVC2 MK2

Compact, space-saving, and equipped with dual subwoofer power for breathtaking bass performance: The HELIX IK ER8.2-DVC2 MK2 is the ultimate choice for bass enthusiasts seeking a space-efficient subwoofer that delivers uncompromising bass performance. Thanks to its round, shallow enclosure, it can be integrated into spare wheel recesses, maximizing the available space in the vehicle. New in the MK2 version: The IK ER8.2-DVC2 is now ISM-ready and can be easily upgraded to an active subwoofer solution via a replaceable connection terminal, if required.

Outstanding bass in minimal space

The sophisticated, vented construction of the IK ER8.2-DVC2 MK2 not only ensures excellent sound quality but also delivers a bass performance that sets new standards. Equipped with two powerful 200 mm drivers with hand-scooped paper cones (2 x HELIX IK W8), this subwoofer generates low frequencies that are not only audible but also tangible. Even in tight spaces, it delivers bass dynamics that impress in terms of both impact and precision – a must-have for those looking to experience the ultimate deep bass.

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 ER8.2-DVC2 MK2 offers a high degree of flexibility when choosing the right amplifier setup. Depending on the application, the subwoofer can be operated via the terminal in a 1 x 1 Ω configuration (ideal for HELIX and MATCH monoblocks), a 1 x 4 Ω configuration (e.g. for bridged channels on powerful multi-channel amplifiers such as the HELIX AMPLIFY series) or a 2 x 2 Ω configuration (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 ER8.2-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.

Built for Durability

The subwoofer chassis are flush-mounted, ensuring a sleek, space-saving design while providing enhanced protection. The enclosure features a sturdy carpet surface with the embroidered HELIX logo, adding both style and resilience to the unit. For added security, the included mounting kit ensures reliable fixation within the spare wheel recess.
