    The Klipsch r-12sw subwoofer is a good all around performer. It has better than average output for a unit in this price range. Home theater is it's forte;however,reasonable musicality can be achieved with careful calibration.

    This subwoofer is a joy to have as a part of my new surround system. I"ve had it for two months now and it sounds and works perfectly. If low frequencies that can shake your walls is what you want, this is the sub for you.

    Good starter sub a lot of sound. Ok with tight bass. I feel the amp was a bit under powered for the size of the sub. It’s a big box so make sure you have room to place it.

    A little overpriced for the performance.

    The price was a little heavy for the overall performance. The sound is a little muddy and feel it could produce more kick, but, not as bad as other brands. The price is near that of the professional series of other brands. Overall, it is a descent/fair sub unless you are a serious audio enthusiast? My recommendation would be to spend the extra and get a professional series unit. For the record and in defense of Klipsch, I am a picky person when it comes to electronics and tend to have Champagne taste, beer budget. I have other almost 20 year old Klipsch speakers still in use that have never failed.
