Q: How does this compare to R-120SW. Specs seem the base except the minimum frequency. How is the R-121SW any better? Is it worth the double price?

A: The R-121SW features a new cabinet design and an enhanced woofer. This subwoofer sports a larger cabinet allowing for a higher maximum acoustic output. The new woofer material allows the R-121SW to deliver a lower frequency response with less chance of distortion.

Q: Does it come with the LFE cable?

A: Unfortunately it does not come with a LFE cable. However, this is one amazing sub! Wouldn't let the lack of a cable keep me from having it!

Q: R-800 F and R-121SW What set up do you recommend to Use with this 2.1 set up?

A: In terms of what crossover I would recommend, I suggest a crossover of 80-100Hz for the R-800F. This will accentuate the mid-high frequencies in the tower and allow the subwoofer to handle those low frequencies!

    The Bass Is Here.

    Excellent quality, real deep bass, which makes the music a real thing. Massive and elegant, just add a couple of bookshelf speaker on a pedestal and you are all set to begin the most interesting musical journey ever imagined. Highly recommended.

Its 12-inch copper-spun woofer provides clean, rich low-end sound, while the solid build minimizes vibrations for better clarity. The sleek design fits well in most setups, and its adjustable controls allow for easy fine-tuning. Though it may overpower smaller spaces, it’s a top choice for those seeking premium performance and style.

    klipsch kills it yet again!!

    Have had this sub for about a year now, absolutely blew me out of the water after setting it up and trying my music on it. I recommend this for any music enthusiasts wanting to get that extra lower end kick in their system. 10/10 must have. Set up is as easy as plugging and playing. Can feel and hear it from the other end of the house!!
