    Added to the cinema 600 as a secondary subwoofer. Bass you can really feel, not just hear! Like the addition of the copper colored screws surrounding the woofer. Haven’t even turned the gain over 50% and it’s a beast!

    Had a 10" JBL die so I needed a new sub. Did some research and decided I wanted this sub. After going to the store and actually looking at its physical size I bought it. Plenty of base for my large family room. Had to actually turn it down from half way up.

    Quality sounding subwoofer to complete my Klipsch 5.1 surround system. Even having the R-820F towers with two 8” woofers in each there’s nothing like the lows achieved with a powered subwoofer. Great for music, even better for movies.

    replaced a 10 year old klipsch sub that died. was on sale for half price and its 12 inches and a sub. the fact that its a klipsch and was in stock made it a no brainer. dont settle for lesser brands like bose or bluetooth junk.

    Outstanding sub, especially for the price. While not cheap, you would need to spend 200 more for a sub to marginally outperform this speaker, and even then it would be hard to tell the difference.

    Powerful Subwoofer for the price!

    I tested this subwoofer against the Klipsch - SPL Series 12" 300W and the MartinLogan - DYNAMO 10" 120W. This subwoofer was great for the price and delivered a TON of bass. The Martin Logan was underpowered for my space and the Klipsch SPL was the one I chose. This reference series Klipsch is a solid #2 choice and for the money would be #1. I just opted to spend a little more for the cleaner bass of the SLP series.

    Loving this sub. Fabulous lows kick it so much better than smaller subs too. At this price point for a Klipsch you can't beat it. Has both types of sub inputs, adjustable level and 180 degree inversion for those who need it.

    This subwoofer really blew my expectations out of the water. I have a decent setup, nothing to go crazy about, but I decided that it was time to add a subwoofer because of all the people Ive talked to and all the reviews Ive read from sound engineers, subwoofers are the next big step up in terms of music experiences for home situations. They were not lying. Having this sub really gives so much more definition to the experience, and its something you feel more than hear. This thing can pump out some serious bass, and the ability to set the crossover frequency, when coupled when my Denon receiver, really brings out the low ends of music, especially some of my older records that I didn't know even really had a low end. I highly recommend this sub due to its fast set up and easy to understand inputs. 5/5

    Klipsch 12” reference series subwoofer

    This replaced a 20 year old 10” active subwoofer with an 8” passive speaker facing rear. In its day it was great but this new 12 “ active is much more crisp with the new technology. The special pricing by Klipsch was a good buy.
