Paradigm PCS-82SQ In-Wall 8" Subwoofer - Each

The Paradigm PCS-82SQ in-wall 8" subwoofer brings big-time bass without taking up big-time space. If you're chasing deep, rich lows for your music or home theater setup but want to keep things looking clean and minimalist, this is your kind of sub. It’s packed with smart engineering, rugged components, and powerful performance that hits way harder than you’d expect from an in-wall design.

Built for Serious Bass Performance

This isn’t your average in-wall sub. The PCS-82SQ features two 8-inch carbon-fiber-reinforced polypropylene cones that punch out serious low-end power. These cones are stiff yet responsive, thanks to the added carbon fiber, and they’re paired with over-molded thermoplastic surrounds to keep everything under control—no matter how hard the bass hits.

What’s the real magic here? Those dual drivers. They’re doing the job of two separate subwoofers in one tight frame. That’s right—twice the bass in half the space. It's like getting hit with a freight train of bass, but the sub still disappears into your wall like a ninja.

A Strong, Silent Frame

Nobody wants wall rattles or ugly resonances muddying up the sound. That’s why the PCS-82SQ uses a GRIP™ glass-reinforced injection-molded polymer chassis and full-perimeter mounting bracket. This combo adds rock-solid support around the entire speaker, reduces vibration, and gives your wall a break. The bracket isn’t just for support—it’s for serious sonic clarity.

Engineered for Efficiency and Impact

Under the hood, Paradigm didn’t mess around. This beast runs with a powerful ferrite magnet and an advanced motor structure. The high-temp, four-layer copper voice coils and polyamide formers keep things cool and accurate, even when you’re pushing the volume. It’s all optimized through FEA (finite element analysis), meaning every part is built to perform at its best without breaking a sweat.

And let’s talk numbers—frequency response runs from 23 Hz to 150 Hz with only a +/- 2 dB variation. That means you’re getting deep, tight bass with pinpoint accuracy. Plus, the low-frequency extension drops all the way to 19 Hz (DIN). That’s some serious rumble.

Designed to Disappear (Visually, Not Sonically)

At just 3.94 inches deep, this sub tucks cleanly into your wall, and its paintable finish means it blends in with any décor. It’s perfect for rooms where you want premium sound without a stack of bulky boxes taking over your space.

With a slim profile and massive output, the Paradigm PCS-82SQ is built for audiophiles who love bass but hate clutter. Pair it with the Paradigm X-300 amplifier (sold separately) for optimal power and performance.
