    Great bass especially when using THX from AV Reciever. Vibrates the whole room when turned up and setup properly.

    Absolute beast! Hammers bass, music, movies, videogames it doesnt matter. I had to turn it way down because it was drowning out the rest of my stereo; and the rest of my stereo is no slouch either! Very loud and clear, no clicking or distortion present, even at excessively loud volumes.

    OMG what can't I say about this one. I recently had a power surge in my house that burned out my previous subwoofer. I had a moment of sticker shock, but well worth the money. with this new sub I can rattle my neighbors windows if I really want to. adds som much depth to watching anything on tv.

    For the sale price, I dont think you can complain. Is there better? Sure, but it does produce decent enough bass with the right setup/room correction. Don't expect this to fill a concert hall size room with adequate bass. Expect this to complement decently sized floorstanders and add a lower range that 6.5" woofers can't.

    I have a 7.2 setup and needed to upgrade one of my subwoofers to achieve more of a balanced deep bass with my other subwoofer which is placed in front of my 83” LG G3 tv and the new subwoofer back rear in the left corner. Results were achived and very pleased with my decision.

    Revised Review - Wonderful!!!

    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 20x24 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.

    I would rate it 4.5/5 if I could. The Klipsch Reference Series 12" sub provides ample bass, a bit boomy, but it can be dialed in to fit the space/speakers to which it is paired. From a purely conic standpoint, it is 4/5, but the value for money gives it an additional 0.5 stars for a total of 4.5. I paired it with my Wharfedale Elysian 2's and it really has filled out the lower frequencies that I was missing in my space.
