Bowers & Wilkins DB2D – Dual 10-Inch 1000W Powered Subwoofer

The Bowers & Wilkins DB2D is a high-performance powered subwoofer engineered for exceptional bass depth, precision, and control in reference stereo systems and luxury home theaters. Featuring dual opposed 10-inch Aerofoil cone drivers, a powerful 1000-watt Class D amplifier, and advanced digital signal processing, the DB2D delivers authoritative low-frequency performance from a remarkably compact enclosure.

Developed to complement the Bowers & Wilkins 800 Series Diamond loudspeakers, the DB2D combines balanced driver architecture with Dynamic EQ and intelligent room optimization. Its opposed woofer configuration minimizes cabinet vibration, allowing deep, articulate bass to emerge with exceptional clarity and impact.

  • 1000-Watt Class D Amplifier: High-efficiency digital amplification provides substantial power, dynamic headroom, and precise driver control.
