Due to their breakthrough 3XR Architecture, Descend Series subwoofers have three times the bass-radiating surface area as similar-sized ported subwoofers. This enables Descend subwoofers to produce more bass from the same sized enclosure.
Loud & Clear
Descend’s unique 3XR Architecture provides triple the bass-producing radiating surface area of a traditional ported subwoofer. This extra surface area moves more air, resulting in massive low end. And because 3XR doesn’t use ports, it also provides crystal-clear sound with no port noise distortion.
More Bass
The custom amplifiers used in Descend Series subwoofers were designed to get the most out of Descend’s unique 3XR™ Architecture. Optimized for efficiency and a strict avoidance of distortion, Descend’s amps deliver consistently dynamic performance with the ability to push hard for maximum impact when needed.

As the core technology behind Descend’s 3XR Architecure, its passive bass radiators enable the DN8 to play as loud and low as a 10” ported sub without unwanted port noise distortion. Passive radiators also deliver a smooth frequency response like a sealed sub, but with the port-like ability to play louder and lower in a smaller enclosure. What you get is the best of both worlds: louder, clearer bass than a ported sub from a smaller enclosure than a sealed sub.
Because the DN8 Class D amplifier is so efficient, little power is wasted as heat, and its entire output is dedicated to providing significantly smoother bass and greater impact. This allows the DN8 subwoofer to blend naturally into any audio system while producing greater volume and impact than competitive designs.
Manually adjust DN8’s variable volume, low pass filter, and phase so it always sounds perfect within your system.
One, two, or four subs for smoother bass throughout the room
While a single subwoofer can add bass and enhanced realism to any system, it may not provide consistent frequency response throughout the room. When two or more subwoofers are properly employed throughout the room, sound waves disperse more evenly, flattening the frequency response. The result is smoother bass throughout the room, helping to eliminate boomy locations or dead spots.
