    I must say I absolutely love this woofer. The power. THE POWER. That's all I've been saying to my wife and she just looks at me like I have 3 heads. I mean this subwoofer replaced my old JBL 150W and it blows it out the water. I just watched watch John Wick 3 again just to feel that thump. It's amazing. And on sale at $360 it's a must buy if you're a home theater movie or game enthusiast. Bass with no distortion whatsoever. I love it.

    Added this to my home theater system, and it definitely shakes the walls! Was able to pick up at 50% off during Black Friday sales. Even at regular price, still probably one of the best performing subwoofers you can get at its price point! Would highly recommend to all.

    I initially thought the 10" sub was what I was going to purchase, but after I heard this 12", there was no way I was going to accept the sound of the 10", especially since it was on sale and only $25 more. This sub will shake the house if turned up, and gives a nice punch to the sound, whether it's sound effects or music. My 18 YO son, who considers himself an audiophile, absolutely loves it! The only downside to the 10" sub is it has a much deeper enclosure and is hard to "hide" in the room.

    This is a great edition to a home theater system. I bought this for my master bedroom. No distortion. Very clean bass. I also have the SPL-120 and R-112SW in my theater room. You can't go wrong.

    Where do I begin. I have a pair of Klipsch towers and center speaker. I purchased this on sale half price. I'm speechless the bass fills the room. I mean this thing thunders. my Marantz has outputs for more subwoofers but I don't see why. One is plenty

    This beast comes in a huge box, but once plugged in and setup, it defiantly did not disappoint !! Explosions thunder and Bass booms. It is large and a little too much power for my smaller apartment, but I have a great neighbor. 5 stars all the way !!

    Bought this subwoofer to upgrade from a 10 inch klipsch. First time testing it, my wife had arrived home from work, and was entering from the garage, and I had John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum playing in the family room (the scene was the beginning of the assault on the hotel). My wife ducked from the gun shots and yelled "what the HECK was that?" The next thing she saw was a huge smile on my face. Very happy with my purchase!

    I have had the 10 inch Klipsch and thanks to an electrical surge it had to be thrown out.....I had such great bass from the 10 inch I purchased this 12 inch and so far it is just as awesome.

    If you want to rattle your house to bits grab one of these. Bass on a budget if purchased on sale looks great also. I actually own multiple of these and use them on various setups around the house. it is quite large of a sub box though.

    I knew this Brand would surpass my expectations and I was not let down. I paired this with the two towers and they sound great coming from a Onkyo reciever. Black Friday had the best price I have been able to find them for in the past year.

    Powered sub with solid bass. Not bad for Black Friday deals. Not worth $400, but for $230 it’s a good deal.

    I added this subwoofer to my old audio featuring Yamaha BR15 speakers. The low bass is much better. I plan to get 15" Klipsch sub and use this for home theater. It is in most high end systems 5.1 and up. This us simply to match power.

    I love my sub. Had an older Sony stud, same size, not quite as responsive. I still liked it though. Waiting for a good sale is well worth it. Metal cone and very solid everything.

    I have a 5.1 AV receiver configuration with ceiling speakers in a new house. This added a much needed richness to the bass in my system. I have not calibrated the sub woofer to the receiver yet but it is still is a subtle improvement.

    I got this for $249. At first, I thought it has defective or maybe new product line comes out soon. But, I was wrong. Once in a while, Klipsch has special sell. This powered sub woofer is extremely powerful. It rocks all the way.

    We purchased the main set. I figured I'd get this cute little box thing for my mans birthday! Omg! I regret purchasing this sub (because it's that powerful). Lol. I'm shocked we haven't been kicked out of our apartments. High quality, it kicks beautifully. So much so, were buying a new house & sound proofing some rooms. I am not joking. I can't be mad at him for using it, because I bought the darn thing :-/

    I am so happy with this subwoofer. This was a replacement for my subwoofer that died. The sound is so crisp and I personally love the deep bass. I highly recommend this subwoofer which works great with my surround sound system.

    This sub made my TV come alive. My old Yamaha sub final bit the dust and I decide to put a little extra funds and up grade! Wow! I am sorry I waited so long to make this purchase! Fantastic!!! Very pleased with the performance!
