    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.

    Dear Lord. This thing is an absolute game changer. It has turned my home theater into an IMAX. LOL I cranked it to medium on the first day and my neighbors knocked on the door. The vibrations are phenomenal. This woofer has zero issues with the low gravely bass in motion picture action scenes. It shines, actually. Amazing. I got it half price on sale and best sale purchase i ever made.

    I was replacing a Klipsch 15 inch sub that I have had for years I wanted another 15 however the 12 went on sale and I got a great deal I'm glad that I purchased it it hits almost as hard as the 15 way better than other name brand Subs my setup is all reference series Klipsch Left Right Center sub highly recommended you need to tweak the setup I have a Denon which did it automatically if you're looking for a value with a big sound I recommend it

    This sub is a monster. Hits all notes incredibly well. My houses foundation is going to be garbage after listening to this thing! My only complaint if I had to have one is it’s just absolutely massive.

    It sounds great. Honestly didn't think a bass this small would produce such a loud and hearty bass. Highly recommend, especially when it is on sale.

    This sub ROCKS literally. It could shake my whole house if I wanted it to. It has excellent low end bass and hits crossovers wonderfully. I was originally going to buy the 10" but ended up getting a better deal on this one. I regret nothing. I have it paired with a Denon receiver and Klipsch r28, r41 front and back, and RP440c. Every part plays well off one another. I extremely recommend this subwoofer to everyone regardless of system brands.

    No rumbling or vibrations with this 12" version. Have only one but base is not compromised and is punchy and tight without any extras that older subs delivered. Big improvement over 8" version.

    This subwoofer blows my old Polk unit right out the door! Solid bass and LOUD! I had to tame it down to satisfy my neighbor (moved it to the other side of the room, away from our shared wall). It still sounds good, even tamed down. The bass sounds wonderful and clean. The Apollo 13 launch rattles the rafters! It makes a good match to my Polk Signature speakers I use for the rest of my 5.1.2 system. I am now a happy camper!

    This subwoofer instantly gave my music distortion free bass without the muffling sound present in some subwoofers. Very clear, distinct bass gave the music the foundation it was lacking.
