Bowers & Wilkins DB3D – Dual 8-Inch 1000W Powered Subwoofer

The Bowers & Wilkins DB3D delivers exceptional low-frequency performance from a remarkably compact enclosure. Featuring dual opposed 8-inch Aerofoil cone drivers, a powerful 1000-watt Class D amplifier, and advanced digital signal processing, the DB3D produces deep, articulate bass for high-end stereo systems and luxury home theaters.

Engineered to complement the Bowers & Wilkins 800 Series Diamond and 700 Series loudspeakers, the DB3D combines force-canceling driver architecture with Dynamic EQ and app-based room optimization. Its rigid, low-resonance cabinet minimizes unwanted vibration while maintaining precise bass control, making it an ideal choice for listening spaces where performance and placement flexibility are equally important.

Powerful Bass, Compact Footprint

The DB3D brings reference-level bass performance to environments where larger subwoofers may be impractical. Its opposed Aerofoil drivers work together to minimize cabinet movement, preserving low-frequency clarity during demanding music and movie soundtracks.

The combination of 1000-watt amplification, Dynamic EQ, and room calibration makes the DB3D particularly effective in premium two-channel systems, sophisticated surround sound installations, and dedicated home cinemas. Its compact dimensions also make it suitable for integrating multiple subwoofers to improve bass distribution throughout a listening room.
