    I have an older Klipsch Synergy 12" subwoofer and the sound quality is night and day with this one producing much deeper notes and much less distortion. Can't fault the old sub though. It's had a lot of use.

    Love this sub!! Make sure you warn the neighbors haha and be sure to buy a shielded cable to connect to your amp. I had unshielded and picked up a hum noise even when not playing. Swapped cables - issue gone

    I already had a sony 10inch subwoofer before. I moved into a house and wanted to up my system. So i bought the 10 inch Klipsch subwoofer. But it wasn't enough power so i bought the 12 inch one. The 12 inch subwoofer is great super powerful.

    I added this sub into a 7.2 system. Had to dial back the volume on this one because it was pumping out way better than it's mate and the one it replaced. Might have to upgrade the other sub now.

    So i bought these bad boys for $300 during black friday. I got 2 for my theater room and wow. They sound good no matter how low or high the pitch gets. They’re also very nice looking. Overall great subs and a great buy. I would recommend them to my friends and family.

    Man does this thing boom! This replaced an older Yamaha sound bar with 10 inch subwoofer. I added this sub with the Klipsch shelf speaker and man this thing is AWESOME!! I have the sub only about 1/4 of the way up and man it's perfect!!

    Great subwoofer. Not too big, not too small. Goes great with my other Klipsch speakers. I had two 12" passive subwoofers with a dedicated amp and I replaced those with this single Klipsch. It has more "oopmh" than my old two subs together! Great purchase.

    This is my first Klipsch speaker and it has converted me. The sound from this subwoofer is so rich and true. I even love listening to the commercials when watching regular tv. Now to talk my wife into letting me upgrade then finding the money to do so. lol
