How do you get "Reference" quality performance (in other words: phenomenal output with breathtaking clarity, superb extension and speed!) out of an in-wall subwoofer without it tearing your wall to shreds with the first big explosion or tympani crescendo?

Serious high-output subwoofers produce real energy. However, the majority of in-wall subwoofers out there can't produce serious bass, so vibrational energy isn't an issue. Not so with the RVC-12SQ in-wall subwoofer. The RVC-12SQ is like a dog off the leash. Free from the rigid constraints of conventional in-wall designs, backed by Paradigm Reference technology behind the drivers and powered by the Paradigm
X-300 or X-850 Ultra-Class-D amplifier (sold separately), the RVC-12SQ is free to dig deeper for new levels of articulate, soul-stirring bass while chasing new heights in performance. The result is a quality and quantity of bass that rivals our leading freestanding subwoofer designs.

Despite all this power, the RVC-12SQ's footprint is minimal. It mounts into a standard 2"x 4" stud wall. Thought you'd heard it all? Not quite!
