You only need one of these
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sub is a must have and if you will be only getting one sub-woofer - YOU MUST get this one. I took a section for value - because I believe they just cost too much! and one section for ease of use as I needed more info on the switches on the back and so forth. The owner's guide was a shame! BE SURE you get a shielded cable with single male RCA to dual male RCA. (the are LFE and SUB inputs on the speaker) Ours sounded a lot fuller and smoother after we found out these cables were to be used.

Beautiful Bass
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sub produces some serious bass. Clear and thumps. Amazing feature-turns on and off automatically, or manually. This compliments my B&W surround sound system. I got this at a great price. This sits in an open concept room which covers about 1000 sq ft. It does not produces an obnoxious sound. No rattling or humming. All things the same, I would choose this sub over the competitive brands, not just because of the price, but the bass it compliments with.

2 subs equals wow factor ²
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow! I thought having 2 subs was just marketing hype, but the difference in bass quality is night and day. Absolutely love this sub. Both subs are Klipsch 12" but my first one is 22 years old. There seems to be some improvement in the technology over the years but they match up pretty well. Overall I'm very satisfied with this purchase. If I could afford it I'd buy 2 more.

Great for normal people
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has worked great for me, especially considering it goes on sale. It has more than enough punch for my living room. The only trick I’ve found is that the settings and placement of a sub is lot more important than any other speaker. Took me a few nights of listening to different shows, movies and music to find a location and settings that were impactful but not annoying. Nothing mystical about the setting it up, just took longer than most “tech” these days.

Worthwhile Sub?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For that kind of money? Nope. Main reason is that it's tuned for 30hz performance, for $400 - $450 there are WAY WAY better performing subwoofers that can get down to 20hz which is your ultimate goal in a subwoofer. Like the HSU. But I was able to get it at $200 during Xmas time so at that price point, is a good buy. TL:DR Buy on sale. Not full price.

Brace for inpact
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wasn't sure how this one Subwoofer would perform by itself but rest assured when I say you will be blown away. This sub has deep clean bass and it actually made me laugh when I first heard it. There's been a couple times when I thought it was thundering outside and then I realized it was just my subwoofer, If you're on the fence, make the jump and you will be very happy with your purchase.

Review of Klipsch-Reference Series 12" subwoofer
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this subwoofer even though I did not need one this large purely because of the brand, and then because the store had an open box at a greatly reduced cost - there was not another one in all of NYS at the time. I would have had to order one and wait a month (I didn't want to). To the review: it has a LOT of power and in a tiny space, you might want to keep its settings on the low side. But I love it.

Awesome sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would have liked it to be sealed, but by far the best ported sub I’ve used. Watch out for crappy on/off switches. Internal driver is very quiet. Love the standby mode.

Excellent performance
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This makes big boom noises, so much more than my old 8 inch one. It can even rumble the house. Well worth the price.
