    This speaker will rattle your windows. It is a great sub. Ive had for a year now and no issues. The bass is tight, clean, and powerful.

    Feeling satisfied!!!!

  5. kas1981lk

    Excellent product. As it says “Keepers of the sound”. Used it with Yamaha 7.2 receiver. Experiencing cinematic quality sound.

  6. Cosmic

    Rich, snappy, powerful, and deep bass. I recommend this to the music and movie person who wants to elevate there listening experience.

  7. Rogerthat

    Solid bass, good looking. Nicely boxed. They were on sale basically 50 percent off. Highly recommended at that price point.

  8. Mancave

    Helps music reaches potential great sound to have recommended to everyone

  9. PaulF

    I left a prior negative review of one star based on playing a few songs that appeared to have a muddy low end. However after breaking in this sub and then testing our entire system from 20 Hz to 20K Hz using an online sine wave generator, I now conclude that this sub is truly outstanding. We have four 48 year old 5 element Kenwood speakers each with among other drivers a 15” woofer and a super tweeter to cover the extreme lows and highs. Yes they are old, but work very well within a 20×24 foot cathedral ceiling room in a surround sound setup. The only prior problem was our woofers were under powered from a 500 watt Yamaha RX-V620 receiver. This powered Klipsch sub really filled in the missing low end. BTW the sine wave test was great in evaluating the sensitivity of family members to different frequencies. As a 71 year old male I could hear from about 35 to 5.5K Hertz. The ladies low end sensitivity was not as good but my daughter could hear above 15K! This was expected given age differences and the size of our ear canals. Anyway you won’t go wrong with this beast of a sub.

  10. McElroy4life

    This sub has an amzing rumble and all the bass yoy can ask for!! I will be buying another. Love my Klipsch.

  11. AndresG

    Great bass!! Room shakes, great movie and music experience

  12. Soundtech

    This subwoofer delivers exceptionally. Sound is smooth and powerful across the spectrum.

  13. Cowboy

    I’ve always loved Klipsch speakers before this I got a clip subwoofer from Amazon do not buy any of those from Amazon they do not last you get what you pay for

  14. jvbuff

    Love the sub!!… the sound is amazing!!.. I definitely buy another one for theater room.

  15. bauerod

    Excellent sub to replace my previous sub that bit the dust. Bass levels are incredible.

  16. happy

    This sub changed the way my whole system sounds outstanding.

  17. user217969

    Solid, but I thought it would be tighter. More boomy than I was expecting. I have to make some more adjustments but I suspect this one is two powerful for my needs

  18. userbrian

    Perfect for a medium size room home theater system

  19. Chris

    Great sub. Decent output for the price. No issues out of the box. My need to buy another one!

  20. Justin

    I added this to my system thinking it would be like the one it was replacing but no. It had my whole house vibrating.

  21. BenB

    Almost too much bass… almost. Very happy with my purchase.

  22. StephenY

    Upgraded from the 10” series and was quite satisfied with the results of this speaker. Worth every penny I paid for it….

  23. MarkZ

    I added this sub into a 7.2 system. Had to dial back the volume on this one because it was pumping out way better than it’s mate and the one it replaced. Might have to upgrade the other sub now.

  24. BruceC

    Just amazing sound from this big box. Plug and play. Be aware that IT IS a big, heavy box, 14+ inches X. 400w. I can hardly turn up the volume on the back w/o making the windows and floors shake. Would need ear protection to turn the volume all the way up. Plenty of power to fund a small concert hall.

  25. BrandonF

    The subwoofer really packs a punch. I watch a lot of car videos and the subs just rumbles from the v8s. I am pleased with my purchase.

  26. Best

    Not a bad subwoofer speaker for under $300. I previously owned the Klipsch Reference Series 12″ 200W RMS subwoofer speaker. It sadly died suddenly after 8 years of home-theater use.
    Let’s see if this one lasts longer with twice the power.

  27. Edgy

    Shakes the house and She loves it. Overall is an excellent product with a great price

  28. user561002derek

    Sounds good work’s like is supposed to wen ever i turned it on

  29. Flash

    Sounds amazing, I’m using this will my SpinBase max, it has added a better way of listening to vinyl!

  30. Encourager

    The bass came alive in our home when we added our new Klipsch subwoofer. The rich deep sounds were pleasing to our ears. It was a most excellent purchase!

  31. Chandru

    Best Subwoofer to add for best Home Theater experience

  32. PhoenixR3born

    If you like good punchy bass, look no further! The cabinet is very clean looking, I appreciate the power LED which is noticeable if you look for it but not distracting. I have this sub paired with Klipsch speakers and a Yamaha receiver. I suggest setting the Low Pass setting on the sub to LFE and setting the crossover from your receiver whenever possible.

  33. AdamD

    This subwoofer is the best out there, thankfully I was able to get it before the sale was off. It has a powerful punch and will shock you by how much bass it has. The best upgrade from my Sony 115W subwoofer. Very Recommended

  34. TylerV

    Completes my theater room perfectly. Great sound, great bass.

  35. JimG

    Sounds amazing wish I had a bigger space for it to fill. Great deal too

  36. ChetanR

    It’s a perfect woofer for my avr, its easy to install and the output is just great

  37. Robert

    Turn this up and it shakes the walls and wife running down the stairs wondering if something blew up

  38. Anthony

    Looks great, sounds even better! And I even got it on sale at a great price!

  39. KevinB

    Thx for shaking my home!!! And this was the best addition to my surroundsound system.

  40. VallieL

    Upper-end value subwoofer that performs above it’s price class. Not being a high fidelity audio geek, there’s no need to spend high fidelity money when this subwoofer produces quality bass surpassing my expectations. I’ve been surprised in some of the movies I watch over again to find there was low level bass I never knew was there, or wasn’t able to experience the first time watching. It got my attention with this subwoofer added to the speaker mix connected to a Yamaha 7.2 RX-V681 receiver. A pleasant subwoofer addition that lets me sleep at night knowing I didn’t break the bank to get it.

  41. BryanA

    Awesome sub for the price! The sound and quality is amazing!

  42. Tony

    Great subwoofer! Easy to install. Sound quality & bass are better than expected.
    I highly recommend the 12″.

  43. JoeB

    Great Sound, very good base, easy to plug and play. bought this almost 12 months ago and it works very well. Very happy with it

  44. Ddub

    Easy setup. Works well. On the large side so you have to have the right room configuration. Not a subwoofer expert but sounds great as expected.

  45. Arlocamera

    best purchase very powerful sub highly recommend love it

  46. BAKC

    Beautiful subwoofer, great sound perfection on the deep end fast

  47. BigBoomBoom

    there was nothing to dislike, sounds great for the money , worth the value

  48. JohnT

    I only gave this 4 stars because I am comparing it to the 1200 watt 12″ sub I used to have from Klipsch which it seems they no longer make. I have heard this unit clip on extreme musical transients, my old 1200 watt unit never clipped.

  49. GrahamD

    Great open box deal… saved a lot of money, and it works perfectly!

  50. Christian

    Plugs in, works instantly. No fuss with getting it all set up and my dad is pleased with it
