Q: Is this subwoofer manufactured in China?
A: They are made in Indiana.
A: Amplifier wattage ratings are typically expressed in RMS (continuous) and peak (momentary) nomenclature. In this case, the amplifier is capable of delivering 200 watts continuously and 400 watts for an instant, such as when program material requires a very high output level to be reached - think explosion or a super low frequency bass cello note.
Q: What is the difference between this sub and the r12sw?
A: THEY ARE THE SAME. They just made them look a whole lot better. Look at specs carefully and see for your self. Delivers 400W peak power (200W continuous) for robust audio. and has nothing to do with louder. They are both 116db
A: Any type of RCA style subwoofer cable will work. Connect it from your receiver’s output to the LFE input on the subwoofer and you’re in business.
Q: can i convert this into wireless using klipsch WA transmitter?
A: The WA-2 transmitter is specifically set up for Klipsh subwoofers with a WA port. Unfortunately this particular model does not have one. I just checked. There are, however, a few products out there that are universal. Google wireless subwoofer kit and several options will pop up. The Dynasty ProAudio WSA-5TR 5.8G Wireless Audio Transmitter/Receiver Adaptor for Powered Subwoofer and Active Speakers appears to be a good altenative.
Q: How many ohms ? Would this would be compatible for my onkyo TX-NR656
A: Ohm rating doesn't matter since it has an internal amp and you hook it up by your AVR's subwoofer output. It will work fine.
A: I have the 12” front firing klipsch sub I use it on my outside deck it sounds great. The trick is to put the porthole about 4 inches away from a wall or a solid background the base reflects off that and it sounds great they do sound better inside the home but it definitely works on the deck
A: yes I would recommend this sub woofer great bass easy to hookup. I think I'm going to buy another one. Great bass even with the sound not all the way up

Great quality and price
It's got very deep bass and has much more power than I needed for a tiny room so I have it turned down quite a bit and I'm very happy with the price for a high quality speaker.

Great for home theater or organ pedal notes
I added this subwoofer to my Klipsch Reference Series R-820-F tower speakers. My Denon receiver lets me set the crossover frequency. I did this at 80 Hz. I matched this by setting the subwoofer's dial on the rear to 80 Hz. This is the setting for audiophiles who listen to classical music and want to hear the string bass, contrabassoon, and organ pedal notes. You will be surprised to learn that bass guitar does not appear at this frequency. The towers are perfectly capable of handling pop music without subwoofers. But I'm sure that some will want to set the crossover to 100 to 150 Hz to get a bass kick. Okay. Irritate your neighbors. But for most listeners, the Klipsch towers are adequate for pop music. However -- I recommend the subwoofer for home theater if you are watching Sicario or Saving Private Ryan. Summary: Subwoofer for home theater, classical music organ pedal, string bass, contrabassoon.
