    I love this subwoofer and how much boom it puts out. I especially like the copper cone behind the mesh. It makes the speaker quite unique and sleek. It does take up some space which I think would be the only negative for this one.

    Actually didn’t open the box because right after I got it I found the previous model sw12 at another company for half of what this one was so got 2 of them! I was glad that Best Buy took this back and refunded

    Nice sub but weak when compared to others. Price is good and I guess you get what you pay for. I bought this speaker to replace an older Klipsch that was destroyed by lightening. The older speaker was cheaper and had less rated power but it out far more bass than tis unit. This sub is relatively small and lite and it shows. it is good for the price paid.

      The R-120SW is our Reference Line subwoofer. If you wanted a subwoofer with more power and output, you may want to look into the SPL-120. klipsch

    great value in its class, its no svs, but its also not the same price as a svs. Clean bass reproduction that sounds tight and fast. I would definitely recommend some sort of isolation pad as the subs feet aren't the greatest from the factory...

    Although a tad large, it really delivers that bottom range needed with rich tones. I love it. Rounds out my Klipsch system perfectly.

    The overall sub response is great. It can handle the deep bass output by my system with out sounding muffled. There is no vibration due to the solid construction of the unit. I’m contemplating purchasing another for my 7.1 system.

    Returning and Just gonna pull the trigger on the svs no an upgrade over Polk psw 10, using rew its just as boomy muddy bass as the polk according to REW using a calibrated mic this only goes down to 30 HZ then drops off a cliff it peaks 15 db to high at 60 HZ I tried plugging the port and only helped by 5 DB still not clear bass the cross over on this is all messed up tried to use EQ but it made the low end from 20 - 30 hz bloated sounding it's a one note sub can not recommend to even my worse enemy buy something with a reputation in subs I figured it's 50% off has to be at least good enough nope sounds like the sub is made of mud. DO NOT BUY!

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      We are sorry you are getting poor quality sound from your subwoofer. It is possible that the subwoofer's settings are off, or there may be internal issues within the sub. You may want to reach out to Klipsch support about troubleshooting this further. Also, the R-120SW is our Reference line subwoofer. If you want a subwoofer with more power and definition, you will want to look into the SPL-120. This is a higher end subwoofer that will perform much better. klipsch

    Larger sub gives deeper bass. Very satisfied so far, definitely rattles the windows even on lower settings.

    The unit has quality sound. The unit isn't durable for the money that is spent. Get the warranty.

    Bought this to replace a Klipsch 10" subwoofer that we'd had for about 15 years. The enclosure is obviously a bit larger than the 10" subwoofer that we're replacing, but the difference in low end frequency response is very noticable.
