Customer Ratings & Reviews

my husband is very happy and satisfied he has two for different tooms

This sub completes a true surround setup. It’s response is great and the speaker is aesthetically pleasing.

Overall this is a great product, and fits my theater system perfectly. A fantastic addition to my living room.

I currently have klipsch premiere bookshelves and was on the market for a subwoofer to pair with them for music listening. After seeing the r-120sw was on sale 50% like Black Friday prices, I decided to buy one. I honestly had no intention of keeping it, I figured it was going to just be a 1 note, boomy mess of a subwoofer. To my surprise it sounds very good, has good articulate bass, picks up on the distinguished notes and plays decently deep when it needs to. I can’t stress enough on placement and volume/crossover setup. After listening some more and making more adjustments, gain/crossover and position, I found it to be excellent at the $224 price, I decided to buy a second one. After hooking up the second one, the quality and frequency response increased greatly, very smooth and flat response. I have each set to 9 o’clock on the gain and 60hz crossover to my r-150m’s and they blend perfectly, they don’t overpower them, and the amount of headroom I have is great. Would I have bought them at $449 each, no, I would have went with SVS, but the sale price motivated the purchase. Now knowing how they sound I think they are worth $449 asking price. If you take the time to set up and give the rear port a foot or 2 of space from the back wall, it won’t sound boomy or muddy.

Kowa Bunga! Way better than the JBL sub I had previously! Its a nice compliment to the Denon 1800 AVR receiver, and the Sony bookshelf speakers. End result.....Most accommodating! I do have to remind myself, of other tenants in my building when selecting volume levels? Got to keep the shake, rattle, and roll down!

Here’s a review for a subwoofer: The subwoofer offers deep, powerful bass that truly enhances any audio experience. It’s perfect for movies, music, and gaming, providing a rich, immersive sound. The setup is straightforward, and it pairs smoothly with other audio equipment. Even at high volumes, the bass stays clear and doesn’t distort, which is impressive. The design is sleek and modern, blending easily into most room setups. It’s a great addition to any home theater or sound system, giving that extra depth that regular speakers just can’t achieve. For bass lovers, this subwoofer is an excellent investment in sound quality.

I purchased this sub before there were too many reviews, but I needed an option to replace an old pioneer sub. Most theater sites recommend expensive subs for low frequencies, but they typically sell for $500+ for entry level serious subs (SVS, Hsu, PSA, RSL). I think that this sub sits perfectly in between those and has great output. It's a big step up from an entry level speaker without breaking the bank. I have a massive basement where it's located (25x45 room, 10k cuft), and it fills the viewing area great with plenty of bass and across the room when listening to music. In a room my size you do not get the guy wrenching feel from the super low frequencies, which it certainly should in a smaller space; however, I didn't expect that in this price point and have been pleasantly surprised. I have mine positioned in the corner by my TV, and it's running with my KEF Q100 mains for a 2.1 setup. I'm not a huge bass addict, but it can get to pretty loud volumes. I have no problem recommending it to friends, and I'm guessing that it will start to climb the lists on home theater sites as a serious budget contender.

Klipsch subwoofers are so satisfyingly perfect. There is just a presence with the bass. I've got about quarter gain used, and it can hit lows that I've only heard before in competition car audio. But it's not BOOM-BOOM-BOOM it's controlled, it's tight.. it's a weird analogy but it's like it is making love to your eardrums in the best way possible. Catching this on sale was great, I hugged this when I got it out of the box, I've listened to them in store before and can not believe I've got one sitting in my living room. If you love sound, buy a room full Klipsch and make your ears happy!

I’m using this sub woofer with the Yamaha RX 671 7.1 system I blew up my 50 W Sony and decided to upgrade at first I thought it might be too much but it blended right in with my system right out of the box! I haven’t even experimented with some of the advanced features like trying it in and out of phase yet but The blend I have now is amazing the bass is more felt than heard even though it’s front firing I didn’t have a corner available as directed in the instructions but it bounces off of the walls and it is hard to even tell where it’s coming from it’s so evenly disbursed! I have ascertained it’s coming from everywhere in my family room LOL sub woofer bass is definitely an instance where More is better I have it set to flat zero on the amp and halfway up on the speaker and it blended in perfectly as a matter fact this speaker is so good I’m looking into other speakers for my home theater from Klipsch to round out the 7.1 system yes I recommend this speaker it is the best one I’ve ever had and probably the last one I’ll need and yes I know sound because I am a professional musician with 40 yrs experience of Live sound . when streaming audio through the system it will blow your mind explosions during movies are reproduced in a way u have to hear to believe i’m going to unpause my movie right now , thought you should know how good this subwoofer sounds

I had a 10" Klipsch subwoofer for 20 years and was very happy with it. I upgraded to the 12" that so far has performed extremely well. Sound is impressive.

Great sub. Takes some patience to get it just right into your system. It is on the larger size, so plan for it. Would highly recommend.

Picked up this sub Black Friday for half price. Honestly it’s way better than most of the junk subs you find online or at stores in the 100-300 price range. For the Black Friday sale it’s definitely worth it’s price. At normal retail price you can find a better sub. As for use with music i feel its a boomy mess for my taste and decided to use it exclusively for movies. (LFE) only vs (LFE+Main) with a crossover at 80hz. For this application it works great as you don’t really need accurate reproduction for an explosion. Overall not bad for the price but definitely not an audiophile sub. Just my two cents.

The missing link to my stereo system. Buy one, you don't realize the bottom end until you hook it up. Pipe organ.......shakes my windows !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the past couple of years I have been buying inexpensive subwoofer. Different brand and sizes. Some don’t sound good then other don’t last. Saw this on Black Friday for half off so I decided to get it. I didn’t know what I was missing until now. It really packs a punch to the chest and shakes my whole house. They are paired with jbl speakers but it blended in really well. It’s a super power full sub. I only have it a quarter way on volume and gets super loud. Even in my 15 by 20 room it fills it with bass. At first it was a bit boomy but as time went on it cleared up and is tight. Not the best for music but during movies it’s a whole different sub. I can’t get over the quality of it. I have kids so I keep the grill on but take at times to look at the the really nice looking copper woofer. I highly recommended it. Klipsch is one of the most respected brands in audio. I highly recommended it to anyone who wants a powerful quality subwoofer.

I have this subwoofer hooked up to my Onkyo 7.2 channel receiver, along with other Klipsch Reference II speakers. It provides beautiful, immersive, deep sound. Watching movies is so much fun with the R120SW subwoofer and Dolby Atmos sound. The entire Klipsch Reference II speaker collection is both beautiful and sounds amazing!

Excellent sub. Fills rooms with deep sound. Might buy another for 7.2 setup

Best value for the money..great sound. Very easy setup.

Amazing sub! Tons of bass will vibrant the whole house

Oh my goodness this thing has power. I have yet to go past about half the gain and I’m legitimately nervous about breaking the windows in my house. Sounds incredible with pipe organ tunes. Can’t speak about 5.1 or any movie type of media because it’s used exclusively for music but I’m more than impressed. Matches the quality and power of my other components and I have not even scratched the surface of its potential. Most importantly the bass is clean clean clean. No distortion to speak of.

Best quality, best price, best services and sounds really good.
