    The bass sounds really good. My only gripe is the subwoofer is complicated to use. There was no directions. There are 2 switches and 2 inputs. What are the switches for?

    Outstanding subwoofer for a home entertainment system. I previously had a 10’’ Polk audio subwoofer and this Klipsch 12” blows it away, honestly a night and day difference. Full transparency, I took advantage of the Black Friday special (50% off) I’m 100% happy with this purchase.

    Decent sub for the price when you get it at $250. Of course it's better options available, but for the average size room it'll fill the sound nicely.

    It has great mid range bass.. I find it very hard for any subwoofer I had in the past to perform this well.

    I have always wanted a klipsch subwoofer for my home theater! Bought this and two of the 8 inch standing speakers when they were on sale and I they certainly do not disappoint! Since we can’t go to the movie theater in person, I brought it to my home!

    My sw-12 has issues so I needed a replacement. Powerful enough tho 400 watts is an overstatement. Let's say 150 RMS. Once setup it kicks butt. Don't skip on the size. Great price didn't hurt. Klipsh still makes a good product, even though it's made in China.

    I have always been a fan of this Klipsch this finally replaced my 12” downfiring sub. I already have one of these in my collection so I went ahead and purchased another one. Strong vibrations from these units, I honestly haven’t found a Klipsch product that I don’t like.

    Blew the old one out of the water. We were very lucky to have gotten it for the price that we did. It was on sale when we purchased it and it couldn't have been a bigger steal. Unpacked it and connected it to our system. Setup was a matter of 5 minutes.
