Easy to Install, Anywhere

DCS-208IW3 gives you flexible installation options. Opt to use it in its default open wall cavity configuration and you have an affordable, easily retrofittable subwoofer solution. For those desiring increased control, the optional BX-208 acoustic backbox provides a large enclosure volume to let the DCS-208IW3 stretch its legs while providing acoustic control to reduce sound transmission through the wall.

Proven Paradigm Performance Purpose-built for high output from a compact enclosure, with high-efficiency and low distortion. The dual, 8 High-Excursion Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced Polypropylene woofers have a larger surface area than a 10 sub for powerful, accurate bass. The optional enclosure ensures consistent performance in any application while reducing sound transmission to other areas of the home.

Distributed Audio Meets Its Match

The DCS-208IW3 can easily be driven off the bridged output of an Anthem® MDX for distributed audio systems, allowing you to take advantage of the MDX s robust bass management, DSP profiles, and advanced ARC Genesis room correction for optimized performance in any environment.

Premium-grade components include high-power rated resistors, capacitors and heavy gauge wire inductors.

In-Room or In-Wall, How about both"

With a minimalist look, the Paradigm DCS-208IW3 is the perfect way to bring home proven Paradigm bass performance without compromise. Bass they ll remember, with a look they ll forget.

Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Electronics can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new electronics should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.
