    Should have been in the trash! It was sold as open box. The amp panel missing screws and the one’s there the heads were stripped. The knob’s (all 3) were super glued in place. To top it off it did not power up!

    One of the best 12" Subwoofers I've listened to for Theaters. It's missing some of the lower frequencies, but on sale for black friday it was a no-brainer. Got two for my setup, kid in a candy store.

    It was difficult to get my receiver into the proper mode for the sub to work. Once I did I was blown away by its responsiveness. I will probably buy another one for the bedroom.

    I bought this subwoofer to replace a 28 year old 100 watt powered 12 inch sub that has a deteriorated foam surround on the speaker. I am extremely unimpressed with this Klipsch subwoofer, it does not hit as hard or play as loud as my 28 year old sub. I expected this to rattle the floors and walls as my old one could, and it does not even come close to expectations. I will be returning it today.

    I especially like the switch that turns on the subwoofer when enough signal strength is sent to i. No need for constant on to degrade the speaker over time

    I had very high expectations for this subwoofer because I love my Klipsch towers! But unfortunately the subwoofer would not work and after messing with it and my receiver for hours I had to return it. I was so frustrated that I decided to get my money back instead of swapping it out for another one.

    I bought two of these to replace and move a sw450 10" and both of these together didn't give anywhere near the bass of my single 10". I was highly disappointed. Knowing how good my sw450 is i figured two of these would blow it out the water. I was sadly mistaken. Only took about 10 songs and adjustments before i put them back in the boxes to take back
