Incredible Performance and Value
I was setting up a new music room in my basement, and renewing the subwoofer for my home theater, so I purchased 10″ and 12″ Klipsch subwoofers at the same time.This 12″ model is a old model (and cheaper), but it delivers more comforting bass in comparison to the 10″ model for sure. The only downside is that it is rather large.10″ model is now with my home theater system (where main and center speakers are also Klipsch), as it is good enough for movie watching and casual music listening.I use this 12″ one in my music room, as it is better for critical listening. I paired it with Yamaha R-N800A integrated amplifier and Focal Theva #1 speakers, and they collectively make incredible sound.I just have to be careful with the Gains knob, as this subwoofer can literally shake the whole house. I set the crossover to 80hz, and put gain at about 1/4, which is quite enough for music listening.

Klipsch continues to deliver quality sound
The Klipsch R-12SW Subwoofer is a fantastic addition to my audio setup and a worthy successor to the Klipsch subwoofer it replaced, which lasted me over 15 years. I’ve been a huge fan of Klipsch speakers since I first discovered them in the mid-90s, and when it came time for a replacement, there was no question I’d stick with the brand.While I wouldn’t call myself an audiophile, I can confidently say the quality of this subwoofer is exceptional, especially for its price. The advancements in technology over the past decade are immediately noticeable. The bass tones are clear, precise, and powerful without the muddiness I’ve experienced with other non-Klipsch subwoofers in the past.The build quality of the R-12SW is also top-notch. The sturdy, well-constructed box plays a significant role in delivering clean and resonant bass. Whether watching movies or listening to music, this subwoofer performs exceptionally well across various sound profiles.Klipsch continues to deliver on its reputation for high-quality audio equipment. The R-12SW Subwoofer is a clear demonstration of why I’ve stuck with the brand for decades. It offers an impressive blend of performance, durability, and value that’s hard to beat. Whether you’re a seasoned audiophile or just someone who appreciates high-quality sound, this subwoofer won’t disappoint. Highly recommended!

House Shaking Bass
This thing is awesome. I made a big mistake when I traded away my old Boston Acoustics XB6 subwoofer a few years ago. I purchased an Onkyo 7.1 speaker set and was using just the sub that came with it… it did okay, but bottomed out very easily. I finally decided it needed to be replaced, so I went with this Klipsch based on reviews I read here. It arrived well within the stated delivery window, and was up and running in less than 5 minutes. Let me tell you, this thing goes loud and deep. It shakes the walls! You know that scene in Game of Thrones where they blow up all of the ships? I thought it was going to wake the neighborhood! There’s virtually no break-in period. It sounded great from the first minute. It’s aesthetically pleasing, too. The veneer almost looks like black brushed aluminum, and the golden cone is nice to look at. And the cost is less than my old Boston that I had missed so much. Worth the buy! Go for it!Update 9/24/16: Well, after three months of normal use, the driver developed a rattle. It sounded like wires slapping the inside of the box,so I took the driver out, taped down any loose wires I saw, and plugged it back in. Still rattled. It was the driver itself. It still put out plenty of bass, but that rattle was annoying. I contacted the seller, and they basically said, sorry. Can’t help. Window is closed. Contact the manufacturer.I asked if they were an authorized Klipsch dealer (because Klipsch’s website says they only warranty items bought from authorized dealers) and got no answer. So I contacted Klipsch. They said nope, we won’t honor the warranty because Bubba Goo Goods is not an authorized Klipsch dealer, and we can’t vouch for them or their equipment. But, they did sell me a replacement woofer for $84. Three business days later, it arrived and I installed it. Rattle is fixed. Just wanted people to be warned. Amazon pricing is great, and we take advantage of the deals, but buyer beware. Amazon can be like the TJ Maxx of the internet. The prices are lower for a reason.Update 5/2/18: The replacement driver I purchased directly from Klipsch is still going strong. I haven’t had another issue with the sub or any of its components since the rattle incident. I am still very pleased with this sub.

Exceeded expectations after receiving. Customer Support was out of this world AMAZING!
It arrived later than expected, but once it was installed, it operated great. I had a few questions about the configuration after working on it for many hours. Put a call into customer service and they were BEYOND INCREDIBLE! Got the Subwoofer and all of my system doing things I did not know it could do. Nothing but praise about the quality of the product. The fact that it was one of the lower cost systems makes this a MUST purchase.

SO GOO. eats the lows.
All i can say is just.. WOW. This thing absolutely SLAMS the lows and is super accurate no matter what’s being played. Rattles everything in my room and is super clean. It was super easy to set up and integrate into my current stereo. All i did was buy a AUX splitter and a AUX to RCA cable and it has ben smooth. I have ben so happy with this sub and would definitely buy again.

Great quality for this price point
This is probably the best subwoofer you can buy at this price that gives this type of quality sound. It’s not SVS PB-16 caliber but believe me, for $250, it’s definitely the best in its class. I’m happy with it.

P die Bass Qualität ist brutal das ganze Haus wackelt perfekte Hip Hop Rap Techno Nachteil eigentlich keine bloß das bei den heutigen Surround Aufnahmen ein paar kleinere Bass Treiber für Explosion und so von Vorteil sind dass dieser extrem schwere 30cm Bass natürlich da nicht so schnell hinterher kommen aber wie gesagt den Klang fühlt . Bleib was für dich ist wenn du gut wärst würde ich es ist nein es hat in mir die Hoffnung geweckt ich könnte mir das komplette Set holen aber allein das Center kostet ja mehrere 1000 € Typ ist halt nicht billig aber ist mein absolutes Traum equipment digitale Verstärker eingebaut extrem rauscharm Klasse d man sollte unbedingt achten er muss 2 m von der Wand weg sonst erschüttern die Erschütterung ganzen Dachziegeln der Chuck Norris des Paars inbas also ich kann es nur empfehlen uneingeschränkt bleib geschmeidig.. weiter hintere Infos unter night your music flows nitromusic@outlook.de

J’en utilise deux pour renforcer les basses de mes cabasses , ça fonctionne plutôt bien mais les caisses ne sont pas assez rigides , elles vibrent de partout ce qui fait que le moindre objet que l’on pose dessus tombe . Au vu de la marque je pensais que les boiseries seraient de meilleure qualité , plus épaisses .J’ai du caisson cabasse et il y a aucune vibration de caisse , idem avec du JAMO .les délais de livraison et les emballages sont trés bien , les finitions des caisse sont bien , c’est un caisson imposant !!!

placed in a living room/ dinning room, kitchen space. more power then I can use for now… broke in with some Christmas jazz and other music before its big debut of the Trans Siberian Orchestra online Christmas show. Played this show through a custom 5.1 surround system with this as the anchor. this show absolutely rocked as did this SUB. it reproduced the bottom end of this show and many movies since with authority and fantastic sound. very happy with it so far… a bit of tweaking and proper set up really help this thing shine… just remember this is a 12 inch… it’s big and takes up more real estate then I thought it would. my bad for not measuring properly first and just guessing on dimensions… regardless the output makes this so worth while… very happy with my purchase!
