    I bought this to complete my home theater. Now I have dual subwoofers facing each other on opposite sides of the viewing area. I have been very pleased with all my Klipsch purchases. I'm immersed in excellent Klipsch sound. Best Buy was awesome as they had this unit delivered to my home in 2 days. Thank you very much! I totally recommend this subwoofer.

    What can one say about Kilipsch. The Name is hard to say, but what you get in buying there speakers makes you call them other names, like Loud Clear, and Fantastic. They add to a home that special touch of High Class. Best Buy made an offer I could not pass by!

    Got this as a open box. I have all klipsch speakers in my home theatre I have RP3 towers that have subs built in but they just didn’t have that punch in the chest. This sub will do it. Very clean timbers nice with my other klipsch speakers. Of course it’s klipsch how can you go wrong. When you can get for less than 1/2 pice how can you say no.. very well built

    Fantastic. Fantastic. Fantastic. The audio quality is great! The product fit and finish is great! I mean, it's Klipsch...what do you expect? Simple setup as it is a subwoofer but the added bass was super impressive. I actually have to keep my bass settings turned down on my receiver. Highly recommended!

    The base is incredible in terms of his performance and the way it interoperates with the tower speakers I have. It has the ability of blending in so the base isn't all you hear but it also can take a huge load in terms of Watts without the vibration being overkill. I'm happy about this speaker in everything it's been able to push .

    This sub punches. I picked it up black Friday for 225 and it can't be beat for that money. My only complaint is I wish it went lower than 29hz

    Got this on 50% off sale, and for that price these are a steal! I already had the 10" version from last years Black Friday, this 12" version is slightly louder with a little better deep bass. For a 5.1 surround setup in a medium sized room these are great, especially when on sale.

    I saw this on sale at Best Buy. My home theater amp will feed two subwoofers and I already had one 12" of a different make. Adding the Klipsch 12" sub definitely filled in the lows and now movies sound like I'm in the theater. I'm not an audiophile, but I can appreciate the tight, low bass I get out of this box.

    Not as heavy as you might think. Great sound though. Once properly adjusted, sit back and enjoy. Purchased as a Deal of the Day, so the value was great.

    This really thumps. I got an open box, so it didn’t come with a grille (would have been nice to know that before buying). The sound is great though

    Nice subwoofer for home audio

    I have this paired up with a couple of Klipsch RP-8000F speakers, which I think is a good match, but I also think I could have gotten away with a slightly smaller subwoofer (e.g. the 10" 100SW (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/klipsch-reference-series-10-150w-powered-subwoofer-black/6241801.p?skuId=6241801). When I was initially testing the subwoofer, my wife commented (complained?) that the walls and floors were shaking! Needless to say, I am not allowed to play it all that loud when she is around (hence, my statement that it could probably have been smaller). One other thing I did not realize until I read the manual is that Klipsch really recommends that you connect this subwoofer with a single audio cable to the the LFE port on the subwoofer (vs subwoofer cables that are split so that you can do a left/right connection on the subwoofer). So, initially, I bought the wrong type of cable. If you are patient, and wait for a good sale, you should be able to get this for about half the normal list price (and don't forget, Best Buy will price match Amazon, Crutchfield, etc)! At that price point, it's a good buy (not so much at full price).
