    Picked up this subwoofer to replace a different manufacturer subwoofer that did nothing but hum when not receiving a signal. Plugged in the Klipsch, turn it to AUTO ON and no hum. Great subwoofer for stereo or surround sound.

    I took the plunge and got this sub to replace an infinity 10” that I have had to repair, I wish I had bought it sooner. The quality of the Klipsch is top notch, great build and awesome boom. I love it. Highly recommended!!!

    This sub has very good bass. The sound is tight and not boomy like some competitors product. The power is enough to make my walls shake. I highly recommend this sub for anyone looking for audiophile quality at a relatively low price point.

    I Was looking for a new subwoofer and focused on the Klipsch reference lineup. I am very happy I went with the 400W powered, this unit provides enough bass for a single subwoofer environment with great quality sound.

    We had a 15" downfiring Klipsch sub that died after 24 glorious years of service. We replaced with this at 1/4 of the price and feel very satisfied. Bass is impactful and very very present. We have the sub at only 20-23% gain and it is amazing. We paired with B&W NT bookshelf and center speakers and a Marantz 6013 amp. It is wonderful. Rears are ceiling mounted and I forget the brand. Absolutely dramatic bass. No complaints!

    Ok, I was going to purchase the 10 inch version of this subwoofer but it was suggested the 12 inch version would be better for my setup. Boy was I glad I followed that suggestion. The bass is amazing! If you like the bass thumping sound during those TV movies this is the one for you. I have purchased a isolation platform to keep the vibrations down a bit which happens with hard wood floors. This unit comes with LFE so you can set the sub and once done you don't have to make changes between just listening to music or sound tracks played during movies. Using this with my Polk speakers has me watching more TV due to the enhance thunderous bass provide by this unit. So far the sub has enhanced the listening to of music, the sound provide as one watches tv or the sounds tracks of movies as well as speech of both tv an moves sound a lot better with this subwoofer. To test my setup I have played music from country to classical with amazing sound across all. I know this item can be a bit expensive for some, however remember "you get what you pay for". Besides you don't buy this type of unit very often so get a good subwoofer and enjoy it for years unless you abuse it by driving it so hard that you constantly cause distortion to be played which can destroy any speaker regardless of the unit. Would I purchase this subwoofer again in the future. You bet I would. It is being powered by a Pioneer Élite that was purchase from Best Buy.

    You know that feeling when you're going down the track on a roller coaster? Well.. that's what this sub delivers. AMAZING bass on every level. I use this bad boy with a Klipsch sound bar, 2 front speakers, and 2 rear speakers and it's plain awesome. I've gotten so many compliments about it that I don't even have to recommend it to friends that hear (and feel) it. They've just gone out and bought their own!

    So my sub went out and I needed to pick one up. This was on sale. I'm not familiar with Klipsch too much, but I went with it anyways thinking that if I don't like it I'll sell it later. But WOW dose this thing kick!!!! It really makes the movies come alive!!! And when you crank it up with music, you really feel there. It's so powerful that I had to turn it down some. Currently I'm really liking it, and so do the neighbors!!!

    This product is amazing, especially when it comes to watching action packed thrillers. I first installed this subwoofer with a car audio wire, but after upgrading to a heavy duty wire the thump is unrealistic.

    With the purchase of my second and final subwoofer, my home entertainment system is now complete. I have two floorstand speakers. A center speaker. And a pair of bookshelf speakers. All by Klipsch. I have a 7.2 multi channel AV receiver by Sony. I wanted to go big. So I decided to buy the biggest ones. Klipsch powered subwoofers are designed to reproduce deep base and deliver the impact that makes movies and music come alive. Klipsch are the "Keepers of the Sound."

    Very nice and clean look. Not overly large. The room filling Base is very good. It will rattle the walls and the pictures on them. Bought to replace an old Cervin Vega Base that quit working after 20 yrs.

    I have this sub hooked to my receiver in a large room and I love it! I have the volume turned up less than halfway and it rattles pictures on the walls.
